The Power of a “Breakfast Club” Mastermind
Lesson: Entrepreneurship Is a Team Sport—Even for Solopreneurs
Every other week I grab coffee with two of my closest friends, Jamie Ahern and Eric Liu. We call it “Breakfast Club.” No agenda, no slide decks—just candid conversation about business, marriage, politics, and whatever headline pops up. We’ve been doing it for years, and yes, we even record the sessions (still debating whether the world is ready for that blooper reel).
Insight: Three Ways a Tight-Knit Mastermind Pays Off
- Sharper Thinking
A trusted sounding board turns half-baked ideas into actionable plans—and kills the bad ideas before they cost you time or money. - Emotional Armor
When the roller-coaster drops (and it will), having friends who understand the stakes keeps you grounded and resilient. - Sustained Motivation
Seeing your peers push boundaries nudges you to level up, too. Iron sharpens iron, even over scrambled eggs.
I can’t quantify the ROI, but I can say this group has saved me thousands of dollars in missteps and pushed me toward opportunities I would’ve missed alone.
Action Item: Build—or Join—Your Own Crew

- Meet Regularly – Weekly or biweekly keeps the momentum alive.
