Ep. 246| Masterminds, Time Traps, & What Entrepreneurs Get Wrong About Growth
If your business falls apart when you leave for vacation, congrats.
You built a trap, not a company.
This episode isn't another cheerleading session for overworked founders. Jake Isaacs joins Matt and Luigi to rip into why most entrepreneurs are exhausted, isolated, and low-key addicted to chaos.
From building real communities to training kids for capitalism early, Jake lays out how Gathering the Kings is more than a buzzword mastermind; it’s a system for staying sane.
🍸 What you'll hear in this episode:
Why most entrepreneurs are the misunderstood “weirdos” of their families
What a real mastermind is (spoiler: it’s not coaching)
How Generation Next teaches 6-year-olds to think like CEOs
The 4 pillars every business owner must master
How to hire a bookkeeper before your business bankrupts you
Why entrepreneurs struggle to delegate (and how it kills growth)
Why your spouse and kids should know your business goals
The Family Mastermind Vacation (yes, it’s a thing, and yes, you need it)
💡 Notable Takeaway:
Time management is the number one skill an adult can hold. If you don’t have it, your life is chaos.
