Dov Gordon is the founder of the Joint Venture Mastermind (JVMM), where consultants and entrepreneurs meet potential JV partners and contribute to each other’s business growth in other ways.
Hosts Linda Claire Puig and Ari Iny explore with Dov the powerful audience-building strategy of JV communities—whether you join one or create your own.
In this episode, we discuss:
“The core promise is that we're all marketing and selling to the same types of audiences.” – Dov Gordon
Dov Gordon is lucky: he gets paid to do what he anyway did for free. For almost a decade, he ran the JVMM, an exceptional mastermind for high-caliber consultants and entrepreneurs—for free. But as it grew, it became a force of its own. The JVMM went to a paid membership model, and didn’t slow down a bit. Finally in early 2022, Dov shut down his own boutique coaching business and made the JVMM his primary focus.
