This mastermind group has met for 17 years — through business failures, a member exiting after 16 years, and hard conversations most groups avoid. In Part 2, Dwayne Kerrigan continues the conversation with three founding members of his mastermind group: Curt Cronin, Michael Grandjean, and Sam Hazledine.
They dig into the real difference between a mentor, a coach, and a consultant — and why mixing those roles up wastes both people's time. Sam explains why the most successful people in business rarely become business coaches, and why selecting the right people matters more than any framework you put around them. Curt shares a gut-check moment about how little time he actually has left with his teenage daughter, and what he did about it. And Michael breaks down the one structural shift that took this group from a nice idea to a genuine accountability system.
If you've ever wondered how to build — or find — a group that pushes you honestly for the long haul, this is a blueprint.
