I can see that there’s a lot of interest building around February’s Mastermind, so let’s go ahead and get it on the calendar. Because schedules vary, I want to poll for evening dates this week and next to make it as accessible as possible. Please check the poll below and select the date that works best. Feel free to provide additional information about scheduling in the comments. I’ll choose the option that works best for the most people. As always, the February Mastermind is free and open to everyone in the community. You’re also welcome to submit questions in advance if you’d prefer to participate asynchronously. Keep an eye out for the official announcement post will all the links. ⸻⸻⸻ New: Building Momentum Tier Alongside the February Mastermind, I’m introducing a new optional tier for people who want more structure, accountability, and forward motion: Building Momentum. Everything you currently know and love about this community stays free. This tier is simply for those who want additional, consistent support. With Building Momentum, you’ll get: • Weekly live small-group Momentum Sessions • Groups capped at 5 people to ensure real participation and feedback • A space focused on execution, problem-solving, and keeping your podcast moving The cost is $20/month, which works out to roughly $5 per session. This is a low-pressure way to stay accountable and avoid spinning your wheels. For context, I also offer one-on-one coaching at $70 for 45 mins. The Building Momentum tier is designed to be the most accessible, high-leverage option for creators who want guidance without the full 1-on-1 commitment. If you’re serious about launching (or relaunching) your podcast and want consistent momentum, this tier will save you time, frustration, and false starts. I’m excited to keep building this with you. I hope to talk with you soon.

These Mastermind sessions are small, focused group conversations designed for podcasters and creators who want to solve real problems in real time. Sessions are held live on Zoom, making it easy to join from anywhere and actively participate. Joining a meeting like this can be scary, so you can join with you camera off and observe at first. However, these sessions will be most meaningful if you contribute your problems and insight. The first session will occur Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 7 p.m. central time, and will be 30 minutes in length. Each session is custom-made to fit your needs, so you’re encouraged to come with: - ❓ A specific question you want answered - 🔧 A problem you’re stuck on (growth, guests, workflow, consistency, monetization, tech, etc.) - 🎯 A decision you’re struggling to make During the session, we’ll work through these challenges together. Please feel free to leave question for the session in the comment section.
