Sean Callagy wanted something less theatrical and more like a working lab. The attorney, entrepreneur, performance coach, and humanitarian built his Elite Professional and Business Growth Summit around that idea. He invited lawyers, professionals, and founders to spend four days building new habits. The summit sits alongside his Unblinded movement, which focuses on ethical influence, communication mastery, and business growth that doesn't require people to abandon their values in the process. Building a Summit Around Action The summit drew hundreds of professionals to Park Ridge, New Jersey, for a schedule that blended training, collaboration, and high-profile speakers. According to USA Today, "Hundreds of professionals participated in structured proximity-building sessions that encouraged collaboration across industries," positioning the gathering as a place where technology and human skills met on purpose. Callagy designed the summit as a working environment where participants mapped out referral partners, AI-driven processes, and systems they could bring back to their businesses. The event aimed to inspire attendees to leave with a list of calls to make the following Monday. Why Ethical Influence Centers the Program Callagy built much of his work around what he calls "integrous influence." Business Insider's coverage explained the philosophy by noting, "The Formula shows leaders how to navigate conversations with a level of clarity, presence, and integrity that consistently produces results - not through force or charisma, but through behavioral truth, emotional attunement, and integrous influence." That focus put ethics at the center of the conversation instead of a disclaimer at the end. Callagy's background as the founder of Callagy Law, a multistate firm with more than 100 team members, gives him room to speak from lived experience. His areas of expertise include systems, communication, and what happens when those pieces are missing. The Unblinded Formula and National Expansion Behind the scenes, much of the programming draws from the Unblinded Formula, Callagy's method, created after building his own firm and coaching professionals. Business Insider noted, "Designed as a business acceleration and ecosystem merging immersion, the summit focused on helping professionals reduce administrative pressure, expand their referral networks, and adopt AI-driven systems." The Unblinded Formula phrase captures both the ambition and the structure of the project. The organization focuses on influence mastery, communication frameworks, and ethical scaling methods, giving entrepreneurs and teams a reputable way to think about growth. That focus on repeatable systems may help explain why attendees respond strongly to the work. Sessions move from theory to scripts, process charts, and real conversations. For people used to whiteboard-heavy presentations that never touch their day-to-day files, the shift toward action may feel like a relief. Blending AI Strategy With Human Skills One of the most striking parts of the Elite Professional and Business Growth Summit is how it talked about AI. It wasn't presented as a looming threat or a magic fix. Morningstar reported the impressive lineup of guests: "T??he speaker lineup included Charlie Sheen, Gary Vaynerchuk, Ralph Macchio, Sadia Khan, Sugar Ray Leonard, Bella Verita, and Cassie Kozyrkov. Each speaker contributed insights aligned with their area of expertise." The event's programming explored ways tools can streamline intake, reduce manual work, and make it easier to see patterns in client flow. Kozyrkov walked attendees through how AI may support better decision-making when paired with clear processes. Meanwhile, Sheen discussed overcoming personal challenges and rebuilding, while Macchio focused on perseverance and long-term career focus. At the same time, the sessions on influence and communication kept the human piece front and center. Callagy reminded professionals that no amount of software replaces the need to listen, ask better questions, and speak honestly about expectations. Technology can help, but only if people use it to stay grounded. A Public Presence Built on Service On Instagram, he shares clips from events, short reflections on influence and leadership, and moments with the communities he supports. The feed mirrors the same themes that show up at the summit: service, personal growth, and a belief that communication skills can be taught rather than treated as luck. The Elite Professional and Business Growth Summit, the Unblinded Expansion, and Callagy's ongoing work as an attorney point in the same direction. He's betting that businesses can grow without leaving integrity behind. That influence, when taught responsibly, may help more people build the kind of careers and client relationships they actually wan
