You are one connection away.

One relationship.

One conversation.

One introduction.

One strategy.

One inner circle.

That’s all it takes to completely shift the direction of your business, influence, income, mission, and future.

And somewhere deep down… you already know it.

Because when the right people come together in the right environment — opportunities expand faster than logic can explain.

Welcome to the Inner Circle where celebrity speakers, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, influencers, coaches, authors, and high-level connectors come together — to collaborate, elevate, and create powerful opportunities together.

This is not another networking event.

This is an Inner Circle experience engineered to create:

  • Powerful relationships
  • Strategic partnerships
  • Increased visibility
  • Business expansion
  • Influence acceleration
  • And lifelong connections with people operating at a higher level

Why Now

The Industry Is Changing.

Right now, we are living through one of the biggest shifts in communication, influence, branding, technology, media, and business the world has ever seen.

New innovations are changing everything:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Social Media Evolution
  • Personal Branding
  • Digital Influence
  • Celebrity Authority
  • Online Education
  • Media Distribution
  • Relationship-Based Business

And the people who understand how to communicate their mission NOW

how to position themselves NOW

and how to build powerful strategic relationships NOW

…will become the voices that shape the future.

This Inner Circle was built because there are too many brilliant people sitting on missions that deserve bigger platforms.

Your story matters.
Your message matters.
Your voice matters.

And many people are only:

  • One strategy away
  • One relationship away
  • One collaboration away
  • One stage away
  • One opportunity away

…from reaching millions more people.

What Is a Mastermind?

A Table Where Powerful Minds Come Together.

A mastermind is where powerful minds come together to accelerate growth, influence, impact, and opportunity.

It’s where:

  • Million-dollar ideas are born
  • Strategic partnerships are formed
  • Opportunities multiply
  • Collaborations happen naturally
  • And breakthroughs occur simply because of proximity

Because when you get into inner circles with people who think bigger — you begin thinking bigger.

When you surround yourself with people operating at a higher level — your standards rise automatically.

Success alone is difficult.

Success in the right inner circle becomes exponential.

At This Mastermind

What You’ll Experience.

  • Celebrity speaker panels
  • Live business strategy sessions
  • Networking & collaboration opportunities
  • Speaking & influence training
  • Advanced NLP communication strategies
  • Brand expansion conversations
  • Joint venture possibilities
  • Partnership & media opportunities
  • High-level relationship building
  • Transformational connections

This mastermind is built for people ready to stop playing small — and start stepping into greater visibility, authority, and impact.

Because sometimes your next breakthrough doesn’t come from another course.

Sometimes it comes from:

  • One conversation
  • One insight
  • One introduction
  • One partnership
  • One person believing in your vision

Application Only

Intentionally Private. Quietly Selective.

This Inner Circle is intentional and application-only.

It’s for:

  • Thought leaders
  • Speakers
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Coaches
  • Influencers
  • Visionaries
  • Industry leaders

…who operate with integrity, collaboration, contribution, and a genuine desire to make the world better.

This inner circle is not about ego. It’s about impact.

Check your ego at the door.

Because no matter how successful you think you are — there will likely be someone at the table who has built bigger companies, reached larger audiences, created greater influence, or solved problems at another level.

And that’s the point.

This mastermind was built so high-level leaders can:

  • Add value
  • Share openly
  • Collaborate deeply
  • Give first
  • And build lasting strategic partnerships and friendships

The energy matters.

The intention matters.

The people matter.

Who This Is NOT For

  • Negative energy
  • Victim mentality
  • Ego-driven people
  • People looking for shortcuts without action
  • Energy drainers
  • People unwilling to collaborate
  • People committed to staying average

Who This IS For

  • Speakers, authors, coaches, entrepreneurs serious about growth
  • Mission-driven leaders ready for bigger inner circles
  • Operators with platforms ready to compound
  • Collaborators — not competitors
  • High-level networkers & event hosts
  • Industry leaders who give before they take
  • People who know: your network affects your future

Exclusive Add-On

VIP Networking Lunch.

Limited Seating · Add-On Experience

Some of the most important conversations never happen on stage —

they happen over lunch.

Join us for the VIP Networking Lunch where you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Build deeper relationships
  • Connect with celebrity speakers and leaders
  • Explore collaborations and partnerships
  • Expand your network intentionally
  • Continue conversations in a more intimate environment

Limited seating available.

Bonus Day Experience

Poolside Partnerships & Joint Ventures

Sunday, July 19, 2026 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Clearwater Beach, FL

Spend the second day deepening:

  • Your relationships
  • Your strategic partnerships
  • Your friendships
  • Your future collaborations

This Inner Circle poolside experience is built for high-level conversations, relaxed networking, deal-making, and relationship building.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Put your deals together
  • Explore joint ventures
  • Build strategic alliances
  • Continue relationship-building naturally
  • Connect on a deeper level with leaders and speakers

Because some of the best business partnerships aren’t built across conference tables —

they’re built through real connection, trust, shared experiences, and meaningful conversations.

And while you relax overlooking beautiful Clearwater Beach — you may discover that the relationship you almost didn’t make becomes one of the most important relationships of your future.

Your next level is at the table.

Sometimes your breakthrough doesn’t come from learning more.

It comes from:

  • Meeting the right person
  • Hearing the right idea
  • Being in the right environment
  • Getting around people who think bigger
  • Seeing what’s actually possible for your life and mission

You are one conversation away from changing everything.

And maybe — this is the table where it happens.

Common Questions

Before You Apply.

How is this different from a regular networking event?+
Networking events let anyone with a credit card walk in. This Inner Circle is application-only — every person at the table has been reviewed by Dave personally. The mastermind is the product.
What's actually included across the 3 days?+
July 16–17: Speaking & Marketing training (subconscious communication, signature talk blueprint, NLP & influence patterns).
July 18: The Mastermind Table (celebrity speaker panels, live strategy, JV speed-networking).
July 19 (bonus): Poolside Partnerships Day for joint ventures and strategic alliances.
How much is the investment?+
Investment is shared after application approval and a short call with our team. Pricing varies based on level of access (training-only, mastermind-only, full 3-day, VIP lunch add-on, etc.). If you’re a fit, you’ll know everything during the conversation.
Who’s in the inner circle?+
Established speakers, authors, coaches, consultants, influencers, and entrepreneurs running real businesses. People who already have platforms — and want to put them in proximity with other established platforms. Past masterminds have included household names.
I’m not a speaker — should I still apply?+
Yes. The Inner Circle is built for established leaders — authors, coaches, consultants, influencers, and entrepreneurs who run on relationship-based business. If you have a platform and a mission, apply.
Why application-only?+
Because the mastermind is the product. If we let anyone with a credit card in, the inner circle loses what makes it valuable. The application is the filter that keeps the proximity intact.
