• If you’re limiting yourself and your access to this course based on your resume, then not only is this course right for you, it will speak directly to what’s getting in your way. 
• Personal and professional problems arise from the same fundamental source. Our psyche doesn’t know the difference between them, and we are the same person encountering any challenge we face, regardless of where we face it. 
• The focus we have is on self-exploration and unlocking your fullest potential, which transcends any specific career path.

• We have considered raising the price for Master Class since we sell out every year and believe that the course’s value is much higher than our price.
• We’ve chosen not to because we want to support folks in all professions. 
• $6,500 is the cost we have decided on that reflects the time and effort of our team, along with the deep care and personalization we provide to every participant — all while keeping it accessible.  
• We’ve designed it to have a long tail of learning, because our curriculum revolves around pattern recognition. In fact, many previous participants form groups to rerun the Master Class on their own.
• Finally, we’ve seen time in and time out that the investment you put in is the best indicator of your commitment. And we only want to work with people who are committed to the work.

• What can you get from playing baseball that you can’t get from watching it? The answer is the same: It’s an embodied experience. 
• It’s the difference between listening to a podcast from a personal trainer and booking an in-person appointment. There is a world of difference to have someone guide you into what it feels like to be in certain positions and to help you make micro-adjustments. 
• This hands-on approach helps the knowledge actually become a part of you—integrated into your body—rather than something you’ve heard someone talk about.  

• It’s not more effective, it’s effective in a different way. It’s like comparing apples and oranges. 
• There’s a different kind of change that happens when you are able to do this work over eight weeks, instead of over four days or a weekend retreat. 
• Master Class takes place alongside your work, your relationships, and your daily routine. This means that you are able to directly apply what you’re learning to your daily life. 
• This will lead you to discover things that you would not discover in the context of a retreat. 

• If you’re not using your skepticism effectively: Skepticism is healthy and an important part of the journey. But if you’re skeptical before running experiments, it will add in a bias that renders the experiment ineffective. Our exercises are most useful when you can keep an open mind, until after the fact. Then, skepticism  is invaluable. 
• If you’re not ready to be sincere: The work we do requires a deep commitment to self-exploration. If you’re unable to join the program from a place of sincerity and openness, this likely won’t be a good use of your money.  (Note: Sincerity does not mean seriousness. Enjoying the process is one of the most effective ways to be in this work.) 
• If you're fully satisfied with your current state of being: The Master Class is a catalyst for profound change, a space where you are encouraged to question long-held beliefs and patterns. If you don’t see anyplace where you want to change your way of being, this might not be the right program for you. (Hint: Satisfaction does not mean believing yourself above others or thinking that you're in control of your emotions. These are usually a sign that you’re protecting yourself.)
• If you don’t want to embark on an emotionally rich and intense journey of self-discovery: The Master Class is an intense and immersive experience that is designed to push your boundaries and challenge you to find your edge. While we provide expert care and guidance along the way, this isn’t the right program for everyone.

• Thinking you have a lack of time to do this work is a good indication that this work will have benefits for you.
• The sense that you have a lack of time is often due to over-management, perfectionism, defensiveness, fear, and shame. All of these are addressed in the course. 
• Consider this: Many of us have time to consume content, scroll on our phones, and run around in circles at our job, but we don’t have time to work on things that increase our capacity for a lifetime, which no one can take away from us.

• Joe works with our team of highly trained coaches to personally track every single participant’s journey in the course. 
• This level of care and commitment to your transformation is what sets the Master Class apart, and why we are only able to run the course once a year. 

• There are no formal prerequisites for joining the Master Class. The only requirement is an openness to explore, engage, and experiment with the principles taught. 
• To get the most out of the program, we encourage you to approach it with intentionality, vulnerability, and a spirit of curiosity and enjoyment. 
• Also, nobody is forcing you to take this course. If a friend or colleague is pressuring you to come and you don’t feel called to it, then you shouldn’t do it.

For those seeking additional guidance, we offer a prep guide via email to help you prepare for the Master Class experience. Join the waitlist to get our Master Class Prep Guide.

• The Connection Course is designed specifically around relationships with yourself and others, communication, and resolving conflicts.
• Meanwhile, the Great Decisions Course has a deep focus on emotional fluidity and decision-making.
• Master Class helps you see through the seven limiting beliefs that most people have. 
• The content and results of all the courses are different, with only a small overlap when necessary. 

• You shouldn’t. If your goal is to become a certified coach, you should absolutely pursue a coaching certification program. 
• Our courses are focused on self-development. As you learn about yourself, coaching comes out of that. 
• We do not focus on skills because many people who coach aren’t doing a good job — they have the hard skills, but not the inner knowledge and wisdom. 
• For us, coaching is a secondary thing. No one gets accepted into our coaching programs until they’ve done a significant part of our work so we can be sure that they are actually interested in self-exploration above the techniques of coaching. 

There are too many to name, but some of the most powerful are: 

‍

• Seven recognition tools that directly apply to your life and work and help you remove what limit you.
• How to move through projects with a lot more efficiency and effectiveness.
• How to embrace mistakes with less shame, reducing drama in your life.
• Developing a deeper, embodied intelligence to navigate life's challenges.
• Understanding the wisdom behind various emotions and their signals in your work, business, and personal life.
• Recognizing that when anger shows up, there is a boundary that needs to be drawn.
• How to deal with the negative self-talk in your head. 
• How to stop managing yourself and your life, and getting better results because of it.

‍

Most importantly, you will be surrounded by an amazing, supportive community of like-minded and ambitious individuals. Many people in our cohorts become close friends and remain in touch for many years.

• While travel is possible during the Master Class, please keep in mind that there is one immovable weekly call for your small group. 
• You'll need a strong internet connection, good lighting, and a distraction-free environment to fully participate without compromising your experience. 
• As long as you can commit to attending the weekly small group call and partner call and completing the necessary work, travel should not be an issue. 
• That said, we have seen people get the most out of the experience when they allow themselves greater space to integrate their learnings.
