The Thriving Consultant Mastermind Pilot Program
Peer groups for independent consultants who want an inner circle of equals who will hold them accountable and won’t let them get complacent.
After 100 conversations with self-employed consultants, I kept noticing the same thing.
The ones who are really thriving — not just grinding, but actually breaking through — have people.Â
A small, specific group of like-minded peers who know their business, push them on their thinking, and won’t let them get lazy.
That's Why You Need Peer Accountabilty Â
When you work for yourself, there’s no one to call you on it when you say you’re going to do something and then don’t. No one to notice when you’ve been avoiding a decision for three months. No one who challenges you when you are getting in your own way.
Peer accountability changes what you actually follow through on. Not because someone is watching you — but because committing to something out loud to someone who will hold you to it it is fundamentally different from writing it on a to do list.
And being consistently around people who are thinking hard about their business keeps you sharp. You pick up frameworks. You borrow courage. You stop accepting your own blind spots as inevitable.
These aren’t nice-to-haves at this stage. They’re what separate the consultants who are thriving from the ones who are grinding.
Introducing Thriving Consultant Mastermind Groups
Small, curated peer groups for independent consultants who have been guests on the Thriving Through Podcast.
Groups of 6–8. Matched deliberately — complementary expertise, non-competing niches, similar experience levels — so collaboration and referrals happen naturally, not by accident.
We meet bi-weekly. Sixty minutes. Structured agenda every time: wins, challenges, hot-seat problem-solving, and commitments before the next call. No small talk, no networking filler. Just the real work of figuring out what’s next.
The first cohorts are facilitated by me. As groups find their rhythm, they transition to peer-led — which is the whole point. A community that runs because the people in it are genuinely invested, not because a facilitator keeps it alive.
What’s Included Â
- A curated peer group of 6–8 independent consultants matched for your niche, experience level, and goals
- Bi-weekly 60-minute structured sessions — virtual, consistent, worth showing up for
- Structured agenda every session: wins → challenges → hot seat → commitments
- Facilitation by AJ for the first 90 days, then peer-led from there
- Access to the full Thriving Through podcast guest network
This mastermind is for you if…
- You have an established consulting practice — at least a year or two in — and you’re navigating real growth decisions, not just getting started.
- You want a high-trust peer group, not more surface-level networking. You’re done collecting LinkedIn connections.
- You’re willing to show up fully — to bring your real challenges, not the curated highlights.
- You know a peer group only works if everyone’s actually in it. You give as much as you get. The best mastermind members are as generous as they are ambitious.
This is NOT for you if…
- You wouldn't be willing to share what is and what is not working in your consulting practice.
- You’re not ready to commit to showing up consistently. The group won’t work for you — or for the people in it.
- You want a large networking community where you can stay anonymous and observe. There are better fits out there.
Pilot Program
The first cohorts are Founding Member cohorts. That matters for a few reasons.
You get input into how the community is shaped — the norms, the format, the culture — before it’s set. That’s not a small thing.
The Founding Members become the standard everyone else is held to. You’re matched with other podcast guests. Every person in the founding cohorts has already been vetted through the Thriving Through interview process. These are consultants who were thoughtful enough to share their story and generous enough to help others learn from it. That’s not a random group.
You lock in the Founding Member rate before the program opens to the public. That rate will not be available after the Pilot Program.

The application takes about five minutes. I read every one personally.
If you’re a strong fit, you’ll hear from me with an invitation to a brief conversation — to answer your questions, confirm the group is right for you, and get you matched with your cohort.
Matched cohorts are formed deliberately. The process takes a little time. It’s worth it.
