You found your people
If this room is a fit for you, you already know what a good peer group can deliver.
The Council is a single, one-off room, a pure mastermind in the tradition of Benjamin Franklin’s Junto, capped at just ten seats. Trust and depth only hold at a small scale, and that’s the thing every other group in this category eventually trades away as it grows.
Where other groups run a generic curriculum across hundreds of chapters, members here set the agenda every session.
There is nothing to buy or sell here. This is not a sales funnel.
Where other groups mix industries and business models to fill seats, every member here passes rigorous vetting and operates a similar business model – just like you.
Members here are professional problem solvers, for clients and for each other. The sale, for every one of them, is built on a client’s trust in their expertise, not price or transaction volume.

I’ve spent 37 years building multiple B2B service firms working with Fortune 100/500 companies across industries, mid-market firms, and hundreds of independent practitioners across a wide range of industries.
But the industry I know best is my own. For almost four decades I have ridden the ups and downs of the unique business of expertise.
That experience is the basis for everything I do.
From the Independent Expert Advisory Council to my publishing and speaking, my body of work is grounded in one discipline: building viable, durable businesses around expertise.
My newest book, Better Clients. Higher Fees. A Growth Manifesto for Experts, (available on Amazon and everywhere books are sold), and my work has been covered in media outlets ranging from Inc. Magazine and Fortune to Scientific American, Time Magazine, NBC News, the Today show, dozens of business journals, and more.
Tens of thousands of independent professionals have engaged with my podcasts, articles, workshops, and content over three decades to build the practice they envisioned, not the job they have.
In 1727, Benjamin Franklin started a club in Philadelphia called the Junto. A dozen tradesmen and thinkers met weekly, and each brought questions on morals, business, and current events for the group to work through together. There was no instructor and no curriculum. Members took turns leading, and the value came entirely from the quality of the people in the room and their willingness to challenge each other honestly.
The Junto ran for 39 years. The ideas that came out of that room helped found a library, a fire company, and what became the University of Pennsylvania, work that started as problems worked through by people who trusted each other enough to be direct.
Carnegie and Ford came a century after Franklin. Napoleon Hill described Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford as living examples of the same principle, a small group of specialists working in coordination toward a shared goal. Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and naturalist John Burroughs also belonged to long-running groups based on the structure Franklin established.
The Independent Expert Advisory Council is built on the same premise. A small, closed group of people running similar businesses, meeting on a fixed schedule, working through real problems with no outside curriculum and no hierarchy. The format is nearly three hundred years old because it works.
