Why most mastermind groups fail
Most CEO groups are good conversations. You leave feeling understood, and nothing changes. Perspective without execution is just expensive company.
The New Mastermind is built on four things, in this order: learning, sharing, accountability, community. The room holds you to what you said you’d do. That’s the difference between a group that feels good and a group that changes your business.
What a month looks like
About five hours per month, plus one quarterly 1:1 with Jerry. Published exactly, because your calendar deserves the truth.
01
Before the meeting: 15 minutes of prep
Two days before, you submit a short form: your update since last meeting, the challenge or idea you want the room to vet, what changed after the last round of feedback, and your commitment to action. Nobody walks in cold.
02
Week one: the 3.5-hour working session
Check-in, a member-taught “Teach Me” segment, thirty minutes of leadership content on the month’s topic, then the core: two 60-minute mastermind blocks, five CEOs each, working real problems in front of peers who’ve been there.
03
Week three: rapid-fire accountability + office hours
One hour. Where do you stand on what you committed to? What’s stuck? What does the room see that you don’t? Commitments made in week one don’t get to hide until next month.
04
Monthly peer 1:1
Thirty minutes with another member: current progress, current challenge, a commitment, and one introduction, resource, or helpful action for each other. Ten CEOs means nine people invested in your year.
05
Quarterly: private 1:1 with Jerry
Thirty minutes, four times a year, on whatever matters most in your business right now.
Between meetings: the member community, a content library, tracked commitments, and a monthly leadership curriculum built around twelve topics, with strategic planning in December. Business and life both belong in the room. The goal is financially wealthy and emotionally rich, not one at the expense of the other.
Member expectations
Prepared. Generous. Candid. Accountable. Curious. A good human.
The No Asshole Rule is real here. It doesn’t mean we avoid difficult conversations. It means the opposite: nice people can hold brutally high standards. High standards and human decency are compatible, and this room proves it monthly. If you believe treating people well is weakness, this isn’t your room.
Ten CEOs. Small enough for genuine familiarity, large enough for perspective diversity. Fit matters more than the check, which is why there’s no buy-now button on this page.
Questions worth asking
What does it cost?
$997 a month with a 12-month commitment. Published here because hidden pricing wastes everyone’s time.
How much time does it take?
About five hours per month, plus one quarterly 1:1 with Jerry. The prep form takes fifteen minutes. If you can’t make five hours for the business’s biggest problems, that’s worth examining too.
Why invitation only?
Because the room is the product. One wrong member costs everyone. We talk first, and both of us decide whether you belong here.
How is this different from Vistage or EO?
Fair question, and it deserves a fair answer, including the cases where those rooms are the better choice. The honest comparison is coming to this site; until then, ask on the call and you’ll get the same candor.
Ten seats. The right ten matters more than a fast ten.
Start with a conversation. We’ll both know quickly whether this is your room.
