“What you don't know about the Mastermind is what surprises you the most. You go in thinking I'm just gonna level up my leadership. But what you get out of it is so much more than that. It's friendship, it's comradery, it's togetherness, it's communication, it's tools, it's strategies, it's laughter, and it's hard conversations.”
