The Master Mind as a Noun

Show Notes Summary

In this deeply reflective and irreverently honest episode of The Mindful CEO, Aaron and Chris blow up traditional ideas about masterminds. Rather than treating the mastermind as a scheduled meeting or a program you attend, they argue it's a noun—a way of thinking, a level of consciousness, and a container you become. From hilarious riffs on hustle culture to deep insights about belonging, resonance, and growth, this conversation invites listeners to stop chasing external solutions and start creating from a more expanded inner state. If you've ever felt burned out by business advice or bored in a breakout room, this one’s for you.
