Most CEO Groups Become Country Clubs. This One Stays Hungry.

Country Club Groups:

GROWTH-OBSESSED MASTERMIND:

5+ year social commitments

6-month growth sprints

Golf trips and wine tastings

Radical candor and real feedback

16-person networking sessions

8-person intensive problem-solving

Revenue gates ($5M+ only)

No gates - just growth obsession

Geographic limitations

Virtual efficiency

Professional chairs (theory)

It’s the ability to challenge directly AND care personally at the same time. 

Most CEO groups are "ruinous empathy" - they care but won't challenge you

Others are "obnoxious aggression" - they challenge but don't care about outcomes

The worst are "manipulative insincerity" - fake caring, fake challenging

Radical Candor = Direct challenge + Personal care = Growth acceleration

This is how we build Arcules to 150 employees. This is how we help you scale through developing a CEO mindset that embraces radical candor.

Who This Is For:

Founders

Scaling beyond founder-dependence

CEOs

Navigating complex decisions alone

Ask Yourself:

  1. Do you want comfortable networking or challenging growth conversations?
  2. Are you seeking social connections or business acceleration?
  3. Do you prefer gentle guidance or radical candor?
  4. Are you ready for 6-month intensity or 5-year comfort?

 

If you answered with the second option each time, you might be ready for our mastermind!
