​We are a group of local business owners who meet once a month – same people, same time, same place – to discuss how we're growing, share lessons learned, get feedback on roadblocks, and push each other to think bigger.

​We use Alex Hormozi's $100M Leads as a guiding framework for the conversation (though this is more a business mastermind than a book club).

​THIS GROUP MEETS THE THIRD FRIDAY OF EACH MONTH IN Q1 (SO JAN 16, FEB 20, MAR 20).

​​The agenda looks like this:

• ​​8:00-8:30AM: Show up any time before 8:30, grab a coffee, and chit-chat before we start

• ​​8:30-10:00AM: Guided discussion group. Each person shares what they've tried recently, what's worked, and what they're trying to crack, getting feedback from others as-needed

• ​​10:00 Onward: Feel free to take off, or stick around to chat with members (or get some work done).

​The discussion is facilitated to keep it moving, pull out common threads, draw useful input out of all members, and make sure it's a valuable use of time for everyone there.

​If you're looking for a great peer group to help you stay accountable and grow in 2026, grab a spot.

​FAQ

​How big is the group?

​This group is limited to eight people, the perfect number to guarantee a range of expertise/experience, while making sure everyone has plenty of time to share in each meeting.

​What's the commitment?

​When you sign up, you're joining for one quarter (so, three gatherings), and your membership will renew next quarter unless you cancel. The meetings are ~90 mins, and very high signal-to-noise (I work hard to make this the most valuable meeting on your calendar every month). You're an important member of the group, so I ask you do your damndest to get to each meeting.

​When does it meet?

​This group meets the second Friday of every month, from 8:30-10:00AM.

​What kind of business owner is this for?

​The discussion is most useful for 6- to 7-figure business owners (primarily service providers and subscription products), who have a goal of growing to $2-$3M in the coming years.

​Do I have to have read $100M Leads?

​No. We use the book as a common vocabulary to talk through problems, but if you haven't read it, you'll still get value from this.

​Who runs this thing?

​My name's Ethan Brooks, and I run The Austin Business Review. All of my work focuses on helping local business owners and founders connect, grow their companies, and build their lives here in ATX.

​How do I get the member rate?

​Members of the ABR Insight Network are automatically granted access to member rates on this series.
