Building Poker Detox from the ground up started off as a lonely road for Nick Howard. As he built the company, he recognized the importance of surrounding himself with a group of high performers that he could relate to, support, and empower.

Join us as we explore the nuances of team building through the evolution of the Poker Detox CFP Team. Nick takes us back to the energy he built the Detox culture from, and explains how he reverse engineered it from the question “What do the people on this team need to FEEL?” What follows is a detailed, behind the scenes look at what it takes to hone the structures and communicational balances necessary to support a high performance community.

Key Takeaways

• Why Nick built Poker Detox to be a cooperative unit of high performers, rather than a traditional corporate hierarchy.
• How an effective community helps players work through struggles in their careers by learning from peers, rather than just coaches.
• What stops so many great poker players from taking the leap and thriving outside of poker.
• Why it’s almost impossible for poker to be a perfectly fulfilling career - and why the best poker players can never free themselves from competitive stress.
• How Poker Detox is changing in the face of a global pandemic and a drastically shifted economy.
