TL;DR: WOMP-WOMMMP (Sad Trombone)

Here’s an update on this project…

With some good news and bad news.

The good news: there were 28 applications to do this show! Yay!

I am awed that I saw signups from pre-revenue all the way up to two people who were in the $500k-$1MM/month gross revenue range, and every single revenue tier in between. Really amazing response. :slight_smile:

Bad news: the range of revenues and individual availabilities don’t line up to allow me to form four, four-person peer mastermind groups.

I think there are two reasons for this…

First, short notice. Folks couldn’t fit this meeting into their schedules at such short notice. That’s completely understandable!

Second, folks with day jobs couldn’t commit to the earlier time slots. Also understandable! (I also have a FT day job, and was planning to burn a PTO day to make this happen).

In my experience, it’s just never productive to mix wildly different business stages (here, measured by revenue) into a group just for the sake of “filling” the show schedule. Although I could’ve made the schedule work by doing that, it would not have been a great use of the participant’s time nor the listener’s time.

In short, I’m sorry to say this isn’t going to happen for 2019.

We’ll try again after the new year and I’ll be sure to give people AMPLE time to get it in their schedules.

To everyone who expressed interest… whether if it was to participate, sponsor, or just said you were eager to subscribe once the episodes were released… THANK YOU!

This idea is asking folks to commit to such an incredibly vulnerable podcast appearance, and I’m humbled that so many founders would trust me to help them tell their story.

Hopefully we can make this a reality in 2020!
