Jay shared his journey from starting a successful 7-figure business to losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis, ending up in a basement. Despite the humiliation and shame, he credits a mastermind group with supporting him through that difficult period, ultimately helping him rebuild his life and business. This experience led him to become a mastermind facilitator, as he believes in the transformative power of these groups to provide emotional, spiritual, and financial support.
Jay explained the original concept of a mastermind as developed by Napoleon Hill, emphasizing the power of collective wisdom and deep relationships among participants. He distinguished masterminds from group coaching by highlighting the shift from a "guru-to-student" dynamic to a more collaborative and intimate one, fostering deeper connections and trust. Alana shared her experience creating a similar environment in a CEO Roundtable program, noting the effectiveness of helping participants open up about personal and professional challenges. Both speakers underscored the transformative potential of masterminds in building supportive communities and addressing real-life issues.
Jay discussed the importance of creating a safe and respectful environment in mastermind groups to foster trust and encourage personal sharing. He emphasized that while some clients believe their work is too personal for group settings, intentional effort can lead to deep transformations. Jay also shared his experience in coaching healers and life coaches, highlighting the nuances involved in building a strong group dynamic. Alana inquired about Jay's process for turning a pre-planned mastermind into a six-figure business, to which Jay mentioned having a step-by-step course to guide others in creating and launching a mastermind within 60 days.
Jay discussed his 3-day virtual events designed to help participants create their own masterminds by identifying their strengths and superpowers. He emphasized that the events, priced at $47, provide a roadmap for building a simple business model without needing complex sales funnels or large email lists. Jay explained that the events are transformative, with participants often rearranging their schedules to attend all three days due to the value received. He also introduced the concept of the "fewer, better, longer" mastermind model, which focuses on attracting high-quality clients, keeping them for extended periods, and reducing client churn.
Jay discussed his approach to masterminds, explaining that he runs three different types: a local in-person mastermind for entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh, a peer mastermind for business owners in similar markets, and a client mastermind that includes coaching and mentoring. He emphasized that the role of a mastermind facilitator varies depending on the program's focus, whether it's primarily facilitation, coaching, or mentoring. Alana expressed interest in Jay's upcoming virtual weekend mastermind and highlighted the importance of community in today's digital world, noting that masterminds provide a confidential space for personal and professional growth.
Jay shared his website, 6figuremasterminds.com, and social media profiles, and offered a free PDF and video training on the "fewer, better, longer" mastermind model. He also announced the launch of the Scalable Coach magazine, which will feature stories from successful coaches. Alana encouraged the audience to visit the show notes for links to Jay's offerings and to subscribe to the magazine.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
