Mastermind groups are growing and becoming more and more popular – and there’s one common denominator among all of them: authentic human connection. Coming from a retreat with 20 other powerful men, Pasha and Cody share their experience, some lessons they've gleaned from the mastermind event, and how you can incorporate them into your life.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Episode Highlights:
[05:00] The Value of Community
Magic happens in smaller communities where you can get deep with others at a core level. As humans, we're always looking for connection and authentic relationships where we can let go of the facade that we put up. However, a lot of entrepreneurs tend to create a shell around them and a world where they're just so driven that they’re not able to connect authentically. This is why mastermind groups are now growing because they are desperately looking for authentic connections.
[10:05] Turning Mimetic Theory Into Something Good
Mimetic theory is when you're driven towards material pursuits. But it can be used for good, especially when modeling great behavior. It’s not about the house you own or the car in your garage, but about building good habits and taking care of your health and your family. Surround yourself with people who will push you, inspire you, and hold you accountable.
[15:03] Choosing Your Inner Circle
You can always be friends with someone. But at the end of the day, where do you want to spend your energy? Sometimes, you have to weed people out of your life if they no longer align with you or your values. And you will always feel that disconnect. In order to do that, you have to know what you want to create in your life. This is not just about cutting off people black and white, but understanding where you want to go, what you enjoy, and what inspires you.
