What really goes on behind closed doors in high-ticket business masterminds?
In this episode, Barbara shares the shocking story of getting kicked out of a mastermind (before her year was even up) and how that experience became the catalyst for building The Council, her own high-integrity mastermind for ambitious entrepreneurs.
Barbara exposes the truth about toxic “coaching culture,” fake income claims, and why so many business masterminds create more smoke and mirrors than real results. Then, she pulls back the curtain on how The Council was designed to be the opposite- rooted in transparency, real numbers, strategy, and community.
If you’ve ever wondered how to find the right room that actually moves the needle in your business (without the ego, gossip, or gatekeeping), this episode is your permission to demand more from the people you learn from.
