Read this before you dismiss the pitch
“I don't want to join
another mastermind.”
You're right to be skeptical. Most of them waste your time and money. Here's the seven-part answer to why this one is different — from an operator who has run 25+ of them, been part of 100+, and written two bestsellers on the model.
50-seat cap · $25K · 10% lower every year
Reason 1 of 7
The most cost-effective way to get what you need, fast.
A great mastermind delivers three things — the 3 R's: Results, Relationships, and Recreation. Shitty ones miss at least one, and it's the same pattern every time:
Proof isn't a claim, it's a body of work: buildamastermind.com, 8minutemastermind.com, and milliondollarmasterminds.com.
Reason 2 of 7
Brad is at peak — this is the best access there is.
Fifteen years in. Sharpest he's ever been. Youngest he'll ever be. The free content at Optimus University is already substantial — the paid layer is that much better.
Hiring Brad 1-on-1 costs six figures a year, and he doesn't want more of those clients — they're chaotic and eat time. The mastermind is his best delivery mechanism: three in-person events per year, weekly calls, and a full team — CSMs, developers — building for you and with you.
Reason 3 of 7
The one-on-one myth.
Most 1-on-1 coaches are less qualified than their client, know less about business, and make less money than them. Brad has run the model, tested it, put hundreds of people through it. The finding is uncomfortable and consistent:
Founders in a group setting with 1-on-1 attention get better results than founders paying 4× for weekly private meetings.
Why? Delegated attention — spread yourself across a coach's calendar and the room fills with internal politics instead of pattern-matching. In a room of smart operators, someone else has already made your next mistake.
Reason 4 of 7
The cost is capped — and declining.
Brad's math is 5-year. If he makes $5M in five years, he lost. If he makes $5B, he won. The mastermind pays the bills while he builds the real upside. That's why he can — and will — keep making it cheaper.
Reason 5 of 7
1 + 1 = 11. Group learning beats 1-on-1 for ideas.
A room of smarter people ask sharper questions, take better notes, and offer different ideas. The best conversations Brad has ever had — and every product, framework, and app that came out of them — trace back to mastermind synthesis. Members see that first and can plug their team in early.
Reason 6 of 7
What Brad does with his other 10 months.
Brad spends 8 weeks a year on the mastermind — one week before, one week after, three events, plus weekly calls. That's it. The rest of the year he's building never-been-built things: material-science patents, agentic frameworks, apps, wild stuff.
Members ride that upside because they're plugged into it before anyone else sees it.
Reason 7 of 7
You just need to be tall enough to ride.
The cost is a fixed floor. The upside is uncapped. Serious operators 10× the fee in a single year. Brad literally cannot charge less than $25K — but the declining-price model with a 50-seat cap is the most-reasonable-thing-a-founder-can-do, and it will not exist in this form for long.
Still reading? Then you're not actually against masterminds. You're against wasting money on bad ones.
Frequently asked (before applying)
Is a mastermind worth it?+
A great one is the fastest, cheapest way to get Results, Relationships, and Recreation. A bad one costs you all three. The trick is knowing how to evaluate the operator, not the marketing.
How do I know if this mastermind is different?+
Three tests: (1) The operator has actually built and sold what they teach — Brad's ran 25+ masterminds, is part of 100+, wrote two bestsellers on it. (2) Cost is capped and declining — $25K, 10% lower every year. (3) Delivery mechanism is real — three in-person events plus weekly calls plus a full CSM/dev team building alongside you.
Why not just hire Brad 1-on-1?+
You can. It's six figures a year and Brad doesn't want more of those clients — they're chaotic and time-sinks. The mastermind is his best delivery mechanism because group synthesis outperforms 1-on-1 attention for founders.
What does the mastermind cost?+
$25,000/year. Capped. 10% lower every year. Fifty-seat maximum. No other mastermind in the market prices this way.
What if I'm not ready?+
You need to be tall enough to ride. The cost is a floor, not a ceiling — serious operators 10x the fee in a single year. If a $25K floor is scary, this isn't the room.
