The Entrepreneur's Awakening Mastermind
The ultimate professional development accelerator since 2012.
Feature articles on the mastermind are found in these magazines.
Let's be honest,
the life of a pioneering business leader is an exceptional challenge
The pace, the pressure, the learning curve; the isolation at the top, the relentless demands on your time and attention. It never stops and there is nowhere to hide from your critics – especially your inner critic.
According to a 2019 report by CB Insights, approximately 92% of venture-backed startups fail. To beat the odds you have to win both the inner game of personal development as well as the outer game of management and leadership.
Imposter syndrome is a distraction, overwhelm is a handicap, co-founder conflict is toxic and burnout is a killer. But how do you develop yourself when therapy is too slow and you don’t have time to go on an extended retreat?
I’m Michael Costuros, a former startup founder turned executive coach. I’ve been coaching some of Silicon Valley’s most talented entrepreneurs since 2010. As an established expert in the use of psychedelics for accelerated professional development, I created the Entrepreneur’s Awakening Ayahuasca Mastermind to maximize the impact of what the best business mastermind, executive coaching retreat, and therapeutic psychedelic experience has to offer, all at once.
The ultimate accelerator, even my busy clients get a year’s worth of professional and personal development results in just two months, without interrupting your workflow.
If you want to learn more about me and my programs, listen to episode 1 of the Awake Forward podcast.
Your breakthrough insights will be immediately applicable to your life and business challenges.
During the mastermind, we will address your urgent challenges, professional and personal, as well as your 6-month goals. Don’t just take our word for it – our confidence in the program comes from running nine successful masterminds before this one. Improving every time, the next mastermind will be our best yet, so don’t miss your chance to join this exclusive community of CEOs who are ready to elevate, connect, and transform.
