I just wrapped up the first-ever Story Pro Mastermind Live Retreat, and in this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes. This wasn’t just another mastermind—it was a transformational experience designed to help speakers, coaches, and experts refine their messages, connect deeply, and elevate their impact.

I’ll share why I created this mastermind, what made it different from other events, and the powerful breakthroughs that happened in the room. If you’re a speaker looking for real feedback, true collaboration, and a space to grow alongside other experts, this episode is for you.

⏳ [00:00] Welcome & Behind-the-Scenes Look I take you inside the Story Pro Mastermind Live Retreat and what made it such a unique experience.

⏳ [03:25] Why I Created This Mastermind Past group programs didn’t create the transformation I knew was possible—so I built something that would.

⏳ [07:45] Connection Over Content Most events overload attendees with speakers but fail to facilitate real relationships. Here’s how I structured the retreat differently.

⏳ [12:30] Gift Sharing: Setting the Stage for Value Exchange Members kicked things off by offering their unique skills, from business coaching to breathwork sessions, creating a culture of generosity from day one.

⏳ [18:20] The Referral Party Strategy I designed small group networking pods that unlocked immediate joint venture opportunities among attendees.

⏳ [24:50] Transformational Hot Seats Members brought their biggest personal and business challenges to the table—leading to some of the most powerful breakthroughs of the weekend.

⏳ [30:10] Leading from the Front Even as the mastermind host, I stepped into the hot seat to refine my own talk in real time with the group’s feedback.

⏳ [37:15] The Stage is the Ultimate Activation Point This retreat wasn’t just about learning—it was about action. Attendees will return in July to deliver their talks live, ensuring they turn insights into impact.

⏳ [42:30] Want to Join the Next One? I share details on how to apply for the next mastermind and why this could be the game-changer for your speaking career.
