SPI 300: Meet the Mastermind Members in “The Green Room”

Today we're talking about The Green Room, a six-member mastermind group that I've been a part of for years. Leslie Samuel, Michael Stelzner, Cliff Ravenscraft, Mark Mason, Ray Edwards, and myself—we get together to hold each other accountable, set goals, meet those goals, and be brutally honest with each other. Today I'm celebrating my 300th episode by sitting down with each of them!

A massive, virtual hug to everyone who's made the road to Episode 300 possible. We started in July 2010, and here we are in Episode 300. I'm so excited!

Today I'm going to be talking individually with each of the members of this group to find out what they've been up to, what they've learned, and what their plans are going forward. Think of this episode as a best-of from my mastermind. It's a roundup of wisdom, viewpoints, and advice from a fascinating and successful group of people that I'm proud to be a part of. If you're curious about what a mastermind group is and why you should consider joining one—this is the episode for you. This is an insider's view of what goes on in a mastermind, and will show you why masterminds can be such a transformative experience.

This episode is saturated with great information and inside views that you can apply back to your own business journey. Strap in, and let's get started!
