McDonalds Executive Retreat hosted by Bama Foods--designed by Guidon Leadership

The Bama Foods Executive Leadership Experience

Designed & Led by Guidon Leadership

2-Day Duck Hunting Experience

Overview

In collaboration with Bama Foods, Guidon Leadership invites a select group of McDonald’s Owner-Operators to a private, high-impact Executive Leadership Retreat at the Bama Foods Ranch that will include great food, whiskey, cigars, firepits and ATVs!

This is not a traditional retreat—and it’s not a conference.

It is an intentionally designed environment where high-performing leaders step away from daily operations to sharpen decision-making, challenge perspective, and have some fun outside their comfort zone.

The Experience

Over two days, you will be immersed in a unique blend of executive-level leadership development, elevated hospitality, and connection.

Set against the backdrop of the Bama Foods Bird Creek Ranch, the experience includes:

• Executive chef-prepared meals

• Premium whiskey and cigar bar

• Evening fire pit sessions with candid leadership conversations

• Lodging in a private ranch setting

• 2-Day guided duck hunting experience

• Tours of Bama Foods to see where some of your most important products are created

Leadership Sessions: Built on Proven Leadership Under Pressure

This experience is anchored by leadership sessions led by Guidon Leadership alongside two senior military leaders.

These are not theoretical discussions—they are grounded in real-world leadership where clarity, accountability, and execution determine outcomes.

Participants will gain perspective on:

• How elite teams operate under pressure and uncertainty

• The role of accountability, ownership, and standards in sustained performance

• Decision-making when information is incomplete and time is limited

• How to build trust, cohesion, and alignment across teams

You will hear firsthand lessons from leaders who have operated in high-stakes environments—and learn how to translate those principles into your business, your people, and your operations.

Who This Is For

This experience is intentionally limited to a small group of Owner-Operators who are serious about growth, leadership, and building stronger organizations.

We strongly encourage you to bring a fellow Owner-Operator.

The value of this experience is amplified through shared perspective and continued application beyond the event.

Investment **There are only 6 bunks available**

$800 per Owner-Operator
