How do I find a business mastermind group near me for founders doing real revenue?

Based on interviews with Speakeasy Mastermind customers · September 21, 2026

Speakeasy Mastermind customers have recorded 6 first-hand video interviews with Share One since February 2026. Every figure below is a count of what those people said on camera — not a survey, a clinical trial or a marketing claim.

Asked what changed for them, 1 of the 6 described clearer systems and processes, and 1 described revenue or income growth. One of them put it this way: “And then the structure creates these really unique opportunities to connect and everyone is present and on the same page in the same moment. a moment that helped me realize that it was really different.”

Speakeasy Mastermind is not the only source of evidence here: 76 interviews across 40 organisations touch on revenue growth, which is what makes the comparison on this page worth reading rather than a single company's testimonials page.

In their own words:

“I'm not afraid to admit that I've often been the smartest guy in the room, and I don't want to be the smartest guy in the room.” — David Baer

“Everything you could possibly want for your business, you can find it here at SpeakEasy.” — Betsy Greenleaf

“What Speak Easy brought to the table was that deeper connection with a smaller local group that we meet up with once a month in person.” — Marni Hale
