Plot Synopsis

NO RETREAT: BUSINESS BOOTCAMP is a one-hour docuseries that challenges businesses with near-impossible physical and mental tasks to realize their full potential and chart a path forward. When bottom lines turn red, teamwork becomes toxic, and a company's mission blurry, there is one place businesses of all sizes, including Fortune 100 companies can turn: the power of nature and the transformative force of ancient Spartan philosophy set against the mountains of Vermont. Here on "The Farm," Spartan founder Joe De Sena proves time and again that by pitting execs and their teams against grueling physical and mental challenges, communication improves, teamwork is galvanized, and companies emerge more resilient than ever. In this series, De Sena and his team including Clinical Psychologist & Performance Coach Dr. Lara Pence; Entrepreneur & Growth Marketer QuHarrison Terry, as well as a number of guest CEOs and mentors, provide advice and expertise to help companies take a look in the mirror and make the difficult decisions to change and achieve success for their business. Each episode features a different business undergoing specifically tailored, often unorthodox, tasks and obstacles, on the elite training facility known as "The Farm." The out-of-the-box activities manufacture adversity, identify weak links, help teams understand and overcome fear and failure, and teach mental (and physical) survival -- all while highlighting business priorities and purpose. In the series opener, "Didn't Have a Plan," first-time business owners take an unorthodox approach to confront and address their business' core issues, because they are worried about defaulting on their $3 million in loans.
