If you find the pressure energizing. If the weight of meeting payroll, leading the way for others, and making hard decisions with life-changing consequences sharpens you rather than scares you. Welcome to the Club.

If you are an entrepreneur or founder who believes our experiences should be shared, our lessons should be passed down, and that leadership is a responsibility—not a title—then don’t overthink this. You should have a seat.

This group is for owners, operators, mentors, and teachers who are comfortable being uncomfortable. Executives who enjoy the hard conversations, the lonely hours, and the long road. This is where we compare notes, we sharpen our judgment, and we do the work many people avoid.

The Club is a working peer group for business leaders and entrepreneurs who believe in the fundamentals, are not afraid to ask better questions, and truly enjoy being challenged.

Should you decide to join us, you will be expected to respect the confidentiality of each meeting; contribute perspective, experience, and candor; show up prepared and have fun building a stronger organization. 

Membership is limited to 200.

Membership is $1k.

Answer Our Executive Survey

January 1, 2026

Over the past six months, we’ve sent a few candid updates about the future of the Executives Club—some of which appeared to move in different directions.

In October, we shared that the Club was no longer for sale. In December, we followed with another candid update stating that it was once again being explored. Both updates were truthful at the time. Leadership transitions are rarely linear, and responsible stewardship requires transparency—even when the path isn’t perfectly clean.

Here’s what matters now.

There are several highly capable parties interested in purchasing and operating the Club. Those conversations are ongoing, and any transition will happen later in 2026—not before. Until that time, the responsibility to lead, correct, and move the Club forward remains mine—and I intend to do exactly that.

This restructuring is not being done to “hold things over.” It’s being done to restore focus, standards, and momentum—so the Club is strong, relevant, and worth inheriting when the next leader steps in.

With that context, I want to speak plainly about where the Executives Club is headed—and what that means for your seat in 2026.

The Club is being restructured. Not refreshed. Not lightly adjusted. Corrected.

Because of that reset, membership for 2026 is being handled deliberately and fairly.

Here’s how your seat is treated:

  • Platinum Members retain their lifetime seat

  • Legacy Members retain their lifetime seat

  • Gold Sponsors currently within their 10-year commitment will be fully honored

  • Members who contributed the $1,000 2025 membership will be offered complimentary 2026 membership, should they choose to accept it

Membership capacity remains 200 executives.

Seats matter. Participation matters.

Let’s get to work.
