Masterminds aren’t just about big business moves—they’re about finding your people, the ones who get it and push you to grow. That’s exactly what we’re talking about today with my partner and long-time friend, Glen Ledwell. He’s built a powerhouse mastermind (Flight Club) that’s about real connection, confidence, and community. Glen opens up about the early days, the awkwardness of charging his peers, and what finally clicked to turn it all into a thriving circle of high-level leaders.
We get into the behind-the-scenes stuff you don’t usually hear—what makes a mastermind actually work, how Glen balances fun with focus, and the unexpected things that make people want to come back year after year. This isn’t theory; it’s what’s worked for Glen and now he’s helping others do the same. He shares what he wishes he knew when he started and how learning to ask for help (and money!) changed everything.
There’s something powerful about being in a room where you’re challenged and supported at the same time. We talk about real relationships, the kind that lead to unexpected opportunities and next-level growth. It’s honest, it’s fun, and it’s packed with moments that’ll make you rethink how you build your own circle. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a mastermind actually worth it, you’re going to want to hear this.

Memorable Quotes:
"Generally, it always comes down to the people, the people. People are amazing. Connection's amazing." [00:27:05] – Glen Ledwell
"If you're not in a mastermind, get in one. Whether it's one of ours, that's great. If not, you've got to surround yourself with like-minded people, and you hear it all the time. Well, that's because it's true, right? There's nothing more powerful." [00:32:20] – Glen Ledwell
