You built the business.

You chased the dream.

And somewhere along the way...

you started losing yourself.

This masterclass is for the entrepreneurs who have everything on paper, but are quietly wondering:

“Why does it still feel like something’s missing?”

Join Deana Brown Mitchell and Christopher di Armani, founders of Wolfpack Mentors, for a real, raw conversation about what happens after you hit those milestones. This isn’t about scaling strategies or funnel tweaks (though they’ve mastered those too). It’s about coming home to yourself while still building a powerful business.

💡 In this session, you'll discover:

✅ How high achievers end up overworked, isolated and spiritually disconnected

✅ What “leading like a wolf” really means and how it saves more than just your business

✅ The truth about burnout (and why most of us are in denial about it)

✅ A simple framework to reclaim your life without burning your business down

✅ How small “accountability packs” create big transformation

✅ The 3-step decision/action loop that moves you out of self doubt and into momentum

You’ll walk away with practical tools, a powerful mindset shift, and most of all permission to build differently.

Because success isn’t just revenue.

Success is being alive while you build it.

👥 This masterclass is for:

Entrepreneurs, coaches and creators who are feeling stuck or burnt out.

Founders who’ve hit a wall and are asking “Now what?”

Visionaries who want accountability, alignment and purpose

Anyone tired of doing it alone

✨ Come get the real answers. Come lead like a wolf.
