This is either an intervention or a Tupperware party, but you told me I was coming over for lunch.

This is not cool.

Hey everybody and welcome to the Tropical NBA podcast.

I am your host, Ian, and I am here with my trusty, rusty, sidekick, Mr. Dan.

How are you, Dan?

I like it. I like it. I'm pretty good, man.

What are we talking about this week?

Okay, we're going to talk about masterminds.

And, you know, maybe that sounds a little bit dry, but when I look back on it, masterminds or the reason we started this podcast to connect with like minds, they're like just as fun as poker parties, but they change your life. And we've done a lot of this. We've done a lot of in-person masterminds. This is a great way to grow an online community. It's a great way to connect with your audience.

So we're going to talk about the power, the pitfalls, and the process for in-person masterminds. What do you think? I'm excited, man. Masterminds have definitely changed our lives and our businesses. And poker games can definitely change your life, too, depending on who you're playing with. You know, here's a couple things things one of the hardest things in business is the daily emotional afric you know ah this again kind of business struggle

wake up and and keep going after it day after day month after month year after year i think having a

mastermind group and perpetrating a mastermind group. So throwing these parties is a great way

to keep yourself overcoming those small niggling emotional issues. If you don't overcome them,

you can tend to run into a much bigger emotional issue, which is because I succumbed to those

smaller emotional issues, I didn't end up doing what I really wanted to do with my life. Does that

make sense? Yeah, totally makes sense. I think even if they're strangers, I think I've had the most success, actually, Dan, sharing our story and our struggles with strangers because they have no emotional attachment to it. All they can give me is their unbiased opinion about what I should probably do. It's been really helpful for me. Finally, Boss Man, I think that masterminds are actually a great way to grow your business.
