Transcripts: Revealing the Unmatched Dynamics of In-Person Masterminds

Speaker 1 (00:00:01) - Run your law firm the right way. The right way. This is the maximum Lawyer podcast. Lawyer podcast. Your hosts, Jim Hacking and Tyson Matrix. Let's partner up and maximize your firm. Welcome to the show.

Becca Eberhart (00:00:24) - Welcome to another episode of the Maximum Lawyer podcast. I'm Becca Eberhardt, CEO at Maximum Lawyer, and if you're listening to this episode on the day it airs, we are currently in Scottsdale, Arizona for our first in-person Guild Mastermind of 2024. So today I'm going to go a little more in depth into what the Guild masterminds are and what you can gain from them. Before I get started, I want to mention our in-person events are for guild members only, so I don't want you to get excited and thinking, yes, this is just what I need and I want to come to the next event. You do have to be in the Guild coaching membership to participate in our masterminds, because these events are our way to get our members better results. As we talk through this today, you'll see how these events are constructed to help guild members grow their firms.

Becca Eberhart (00:01:11) - Each Guild Mastermind is a quarterly in-person event hosted around the country in different cities. Each mastermind is a day and a half starting at noon on day one, which is always a Thursday and a full day. On day two, we typically have a presentation to kick off the masterminds. For example, today Victoria Collier is teaching us how to build law firms that have value and can be sold after the training will roll right into the hot seat sessions. Our hot seats are the core of the event. Each member takes the hot seat for 30 minutes. During your hot seat, you start by presenting your current challenge or opportunity to the group, and then receive feedback from the knowledge and experiences of your fellow attendees and coaches. Our mastermind groups are filled with lawyers from different stages, practice areas, and geographic locations. This combination of different business and life experiences exposes you to new ideas and solutions that can only come to fruition in this type of mastermind setting. In a mastermind, you're also not in control of the entire conversation like you are in a one on one coaching session.

Becca Eberhart (00:02:19) - You're just a part of it. You present the idea that you want to work on during your hot seat. But the thing is, and we hear this all the time, attendees are surprised to find that they learn the most during someone else's hot seat. Someone else will be talking about their challenge or an idea they've had, and you'll think, whoa, I've never even considered that. And all of a sudden you're going down a path that you never could have been if you hadn't put yourself in the room. We try to keep our mastermind groups intimate, but you're still surrounding yourself with 12 to 18 other lawyers growing your personal connections with other law firm leaders, something you don't often have in your local area. We also incorporate networking time into our events by including coffee and snack breaks on both days, a welcome dinner on day one, and breakfast and lunch on day two of the mastermind. Growing your network offline gives you major advantages when you're making connections with law firm owners who are as ambitious and growth oriented as you are, you'll make valuable connections where you can ask for names, referrals, and recommendations.

Becca Eberhart (00:03:25) - As you might ask them, what's your preferred software for this? Do you have a system to do this? Maybe their VA is looking for more work, or they have a fractional CFO who has positively impacted their growth strategy. These personal recommendations are far more valuable than googling products or services you're looking for, or even receiving recommendations from people you hardly know. Now, like I mentioned earlier, you must be in our Guild coaching or mastermind membership to have access to tickets to these events. In the coaching membership, you get monthly access to the maximum growth and minimum time Growth playbook a private podcast. This is perfect for listening to our monthly video trainings on the go. You also get unlimited Q&A in the private member's Facebook group, exclusive virtual events and hot seat sessions, weekly accountability meetings to set goals and celebrate wins the Morning Meeting Show, which is hosted live every Saturday by Jim and Tyson. You can think of this as comedians in a car getting coffee meets how I built this, and you have access to purchase tickets to these Guild Mastermind events.

Becca Eberhart (00:04:34) - Our next level of membership is the mastermind membership, and it's brand new. In the mastermind membership, you get your mastermind tickets included in your membership. Plus, you're invited to an exclusive morning session on day one of the mastermind. This is only for mastermind membership holders. This bonus event with Jim and Tyson is curated for high level growth and more high touch coaching atmosphere. When you join the mastermind membership, you also get a monthly virtual small group coaching session with Jim and Tyson. This is our highest level membership, giving you the most access to Jim and Tyson. You can also compare the different membership levels at Max Law Guild comm. That's it for this week. I hope to share some stories and lessons from this mastermind in Scottsdale with you in the coming weeks after we get back. And if you're ready to join us at the next mastermind tomorrow, our tickets will go on sale for our Q2 mastermind happening in Minneapolis on April 18th and 19th. You can head to Max Lott events.com for more event information and to grab your ticket.
