How I Built a 24-Person Mastermind That Members Call "Life-Changing"

Dustin pulls back the curtain on the Seven Figure Leap Mastermind, revealing the exact structure, pricing, and strategies behind a program with 90% retention and 24 active members. He shares the origin story of how the mastermind evolved from a simple beta group in summer 2023 into a thriving community that meets weekly with a unique mix of hot seats, accountability pods, expert sessions, and quarterly strategic planning. Dustin details the four types of weekly meetings, explains how leap pods create deeper connections in groups of four, and describes the twice-yearly in-person retreats that members consistently call transformational. He also discusses the decision to keep pricing accessible at $1,500/month with no contracts, grandfather founding members at $1,000/month forever, and cover all retreat costs beyond travel and lodging. This episode is essential listening for anyone considering launching or improving their own mastermind program, offering proven frameworks for creating genuine community, delivering consistent value, and building a business model where members are excited to renew every single month.
