What is a Mastermind?

Mastermind: 2025 is a hivemind and accountability group where like-minded professionals commit to helping each other grow and succeed.

This 10-month program is designed to help you accomplish a major project or significant goal. You decide what your project is, and we help you get there. Along the way, you’ll bond with professionals from similar careers and with shared experiences.

This is your high achievers club, where everyone is committed to helping each other grow. With a crystal-clear focus on the project you’re working on, you’ll get regular feedback, insights, and ideas to help you make progress.

Who should join?

This Mastermind group is for ambitious and motivated executives, leaders, and experts in the ideas industry. Whether you’re starting a Substack, writing a book, raising money, or leveling up your leadership.

We invite those who are civil optimists, open-minded learners, and solutions-oriented advocates.

Each Mastermind group will build tight-knit connections that last beyond the 10-month program.
