Two of the key principles of a Catalyst Leader is being “committed to growth” and a “builder of strong relationships”. Mastermind groups have been around since the beginning of time. Even Benjamin Franklin belonged to a mastermind. But it was Napoleon Hill who explained it clearly and encouraged people to gather together in a structured, repeatable environment for the success of all. Napoleon Hill wrote about the mastermind group principle as: “The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony.”

Today we’re going to unpack the idea of a mastermind in our conversation between Jay Sharp and Dr. Jason Brooks
