Wondering if mastermind programs are worth the investment? In this episode, I sit down with Richard James, founder of Your Practice Mastered, who helped transform our practice after I discovered his work during my niece's graduation ceremony. 

This discussion reveals:

  • My biggest 10-year mistake was avoiding industry-specific masterminds (despite being in other groups for 20+ years)
  • The "third mind" concept that separates successful masterminds from networking groups
  • Richard's unexpected journey from asking "dumb questions" in a $27,000 mastermind to helping 900+ attorneys
  • The critical difference between free and paid mastermind commitments
  • His hybrid approach that goes beyond traditional quarterly "hot seats"

Listen in for practical guidance on choosing the right mastermind environment, whether you're seeking accountability, benchmarking opportunities, or simply that safe space where you're not building your practice alone.
