In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Facilitator of Bay Area Mastermind, Jeremy Shapiro.



Jeremy illuminated the concept of mastermind groups, a term that might be familiar to some but remains a hidden gem to many. These groups are not just about networking but about creating a supportive community of like-minded individuals focused on growth. As Jeremy explained, being part of a mastermind group means accessing valuable insights, advice, and resources that can propel your business forward.

Jeremy shared the inner workings of Bay Area Mastermind, which he has meticulously structured to maximize strategic business growth and accountability. The group meets monthly for full-day sessions, where the primary goal is to challenge each member to think bigger and achieve more. This rigorous yet supportive environment has led members to launch new ventures and reach new heights in their existing businesses.

One of the most striking points Jeremy made was about the power of cross-pollination of ideas within the group. When entrepreneurs from various industries and backgrounds come together, exchanging ideas can lead to innovative solutions and unexpected opportunities. This collaborative spirit is the heartbeat of Bay Area Mastermind and a testament to the transformative outcomes its members have experienced.

Jeremy emphasized that the group is open to members from diverse locations, offering a hybrid approach accommodating in-person and virtual participation. This flexibility ensures that you can be part of this dynamic community no matter where you are.
