The Mastermind
An intimate, invitation-only experience at a private luxury estate where select ticket holders, sponsors, and speakers dive deeper into meaningful conversations about business and leadership — over a world-class dinner curated by celebrity chef Lauren Lawless.
Transform Your Business Over Dinner
Walk away with clarity on your biggest challenges, actionable strategies from proven leaders, and a network of trusted peers who understand your journey.
What Is The Mastermind Session?
The Mastermind Event is an exclusive, invitation-only experience designed for select ticket holders, sponsors, and speakers who want to go beyond the conference and dive deeper into meaningful conversations about business and leadership. Hosted at a stunning waterfront luxury estate, this gathering brings together some of the brightest minds in the small business community to discuss the real issues that impact us all — from growth challenges and leadership struggles to innovation, burnout, and legacy.
This isn't another seminar; it's a collaborative exchange of ideas, strategies, and truths shared among those who are building, leading, and evolving every day. Guests will enjoy an exquisite Asian Fusion dinner curated by celebrity chef Lauren Lawless, creating an atmosphere that blends comfort, creativity, and connection.
Over a world-class culinary experience, participants will engage in open, authentic dialogue about what's working — and what's not — in today's small business landscape. The Mastermind is where breakthroughs happen through vulnerable sharing, partnerships are born from genuine connection, and leaders walk away recharged with renewed clarity, confidence, and community.
