Is your unfamiliarity with a paid mastermind a reflection of the relatively low value they provide, or a reflection of the echo chamber that exists in the HN/Startup/EIR community?
Masterminds are big fitness community (martial art school owners, gym owners, dance studio owners, etc).
Masterminds are one tactic used to monetize an individual community. This isn't at all dissimilar to the annual conventions various tech companies put together for their customers.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y ago“Life coach” is another term for mastermind.
- JohnFen 4y agoI'm certainly not stuck in the HM/Startup/EIR community, but I'd never heard of "masterminds" either. Maybe because I'm not a part of the fitness community? > This isn't at all dissimilar to the annual conventions various tech companies put together for their customers. Those conventions are of very dubious value.

Doing the exercise will make a much bigger difference no matter your diet, but he gets paid to sell shakes. So of course he’s going to tell you you need to buy his pre and post workout, and the diet shake and that’s how everyone else at the gym looks as good as they do. You see him talk to everyone who comes in, which validates what he’s saying. But you’re over by the weight stacks lifting so you don’t know what gets said. He greets everyone like an old friend because he knows the effect it will have on people. And you mistake it for the truth.
