Ever feel like you're on an island, trying to figure out this whole business-building thing on your own? Well, shake off that isolation, because we're diving into the world of peer masterminds – where "yes, and" thinking meets the power of collective wisdom.

In this episode, we're joined by Aïko Thurlow, an experienced mastermind facilitator who's helped many entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Aïko's sharing insights on how these small groups can significantly improve your consulting practice.

Get ready for some real talk about:

• Why flying solo is so 2019 (and how masterminds can be your secret weapon)
• The art of curating a kickass mastermind group (hint: it's not just about finding other consultants)
• How to create a vibe where vulnerability isn't just okay, it's celebrated
• Structured chaos: Aïko's tips for meetings that actually get sh*t done
• The facilitator's toolbox: Techniques to keep your mastermind humming along

Whether you're new to masterminds or looking to improve your existing group, this episode offers practical advice to help you build the support system your consulting business needs.

So grab your favorite note-taking tool (we won't judge if it's a cocktail napkin), and let's explore how peer support can fuel your growth. Your future self (and your bank account) will thank you.
