The 14th annual Entrepreneur's Awakening Mastermind
The ultimate professional development accelerator since 2012.
Let's be honest, the life of a pioneering business leader is friggin hard!
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.
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. I consider this mastermind program the crown jewel of my life’s work.
I created the Entrepreneur’s Awakening Mastermind to combine the power of a business mastermind, executive coaching, and therapeutic psychedelic experience into one program focused on breakthrough results.
And yes, you do have the time! Even my busy clients can participate without interrupting their focus on the business. Everything about it is designed to work for a busy CEO.
Your breakthrough insights during the mastermind will be immediately applicable to your 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 it since 2012 and improving it yearly. The next mastermind will be our best yet, so don’t miss your chance to join this exclusive community of founders & CEOs who are ready to elevate, connect, and transform.
