In this first‑person monologue, the speaker recounts joining a four‑person mastermind group of women that she ran for five years. The group met monthly to share wins, give updates, and discuss challenges. Members included Kate, Cass, and the speaker herself. Cass, who entered the group via an introduction and had never met the others in person, brought a personal‑styling business—different from the podcast‑focused businesses of Kate and the speaker—offering a fresh perspective and being at an earlier stage in her venture. The diversity of industries and stages enriched the group’s discussions. Over time the members formed a strong personal bond, culminating in a girls’ trip and a live mastermind event in Japan, illustrating the deep relationships and experiential benefits that can arise from a well‑run mastermind.

Chapters

When I finally got into my mastermind group, I was so happy because for the longest time I was a little bit jealous of you because I saw the benefit that you got. Eventually I got together with 3 other women and we ran our mastermind for 5 years. It was pretty impressive. We would meet once a month, share a win and give each other's updates and going around sharing a problem, a challenge, or something that was going on in our business. In my group was Kate and Cass and myself. And what was really great about that mastermind was at the time when Cass joined, we'd never met in person. She was introduced through someone else. When Cass came in, she brought a different business because Kate and I all were part of podcast companies. Cass came in running a personal styling business, and so when she came in, she brought a different perspective. She was at a different stage in her business, a bit earlier on in the business, and it was just a great dynamic. And I think one of the things that really stood out over time was how close we got. We ended up taking a girls trip together, we did a live mastermind in Japan. It was such an awesome group.
