When Tom Woods created his School of Life in 2022, he enlisted the help of EXIT Group founder Kevin Dolan to implement accountability group calls for its members. Led by facilitators David Moore, Jeremy Evans and Barbara Williams, these groups gather weekly to discuss business, fitness, content creation, and more. The facilitators have conversations every week about what they see in their group calls like member victories and struggles, and discuss what connections can be created to provide more opportunities for success. In this podcast, they explore ideas around self-development, business, entrepreneurship, networking, discipline, and personal responsibility.
