If you've been listening to the EcomCrew Podcast for quite some time, you'll know that I'm a big believer of masterminds. The company of people who understand your struggles as an entrepreneur and offer guidance on your growth is invaluable. In the words of Napoleon Hill: "Deliberately seek the company of people who influence you to think and act on building the life you desire." I recently joined a mastermind with mid- to high-seven figure entrepreneurs and I just came back from an in-person retreat with them. I just literally landed and went right away to record the podcast, because the retreat had such a profound impact on me that I had to record while everything is still fresh on my mind.

What is the best thing you ever did? 6. Tell about a decision that you made that you regret. 7. What is your most public failure? 8. When did you most recently feel self-doubt? 9.

What is one thing you want to do before you die? 13. What is the most questionable thing you've done this year? 14. Do you think that cheating is natural? 15. What are you most afraid of? 16. Tell a recent time where you lacked integrity. As you can see fro
