What previous attendees are saying:

Why Shop Owners Attend — And Come Back

Last year’s Mastermind event brought together driven shop owners from across the country for three days of hands-on learning, collaboration, and real implementation.

Here’s what made it powerful:

✔ Real conversations about real shop challenges
✔ Breakout sessions focused on operations, leadership, and marketing
✔ Proven systems for increasing ARO and hitting 20% net profit
✔ Immediate takeaways you can implement Monday morning

This isn’t a sit-and-listen conference.
It’s an implementation-focused mastermind designed to give you clarity, systems, and confidence.

“First impression” from tonight’s event at Mastermind in Cleveland... I could go home already and be completely happy with what I have learned from coaches and other shop owners tonight. It would be completely worth the money it cost me to come here. That being said, I’m super stoked for more discussion and networking tomorrow and Friday!" - Rooney's Auto Repair
