About Rebel
A two-day event in Columbus, Ohio, for real estate pros and small business owners who are done with industry-standard thinking. Agents, loan officers, entrepreneurs and independent thinkers in one room.
Our mission
Close the gap between where you are and where you could be. No generic motivation. Sessions that challenge assumptions, sharpen identity and give you something to use on Monday.
What sets us apart
Built around people, not vendors. Real talk on burnout, market uncertainty, personal brand, AI and betting on yourself, from national keynotes who stick around to connect.

Wall of Rebels.
700 Rebels showed up in 2026. Here’s what they said.
From time to time, I get the opportunity to speak at an event that changes me. … They pulled out all the stops and filled the room to capacity. You can’t quantify energy.
What an incredible experience. I left with my notebook full and mind blown by the knowledge and insight I got the privilege of learning.
Our team had an amazing time at the Rebel event—and we’re coming home fired up with fresh ideas and momentum. Let’s go. 💥
So grateful to be among so many amazing agents at the 2026 REBEL event! 🙌 So much value, inspiration, and meaningful conversations…
What an incredible event. I was fired up to hear world-renowned author Dr. Benjamin Hardy speak on The Science of Scaling…
REBEL Conference recap ✨ I don’t invest time in events like this just for inspiration. I go to get better for the people I serve.
I love leaving an event feeling motivated and my heart on fire. Seeing so many people in one place, all coming together to better themselves and their communities, is really something special!
Why would a guy from Maine show up to an event with 700 agents from Ohio?
