Your Board of Directors Without the Politics
You Know That Moment When You Need Real Advice But Have Nobody to Ask?
Your spouse doesn't get the pressure. Your team needs you to have Read moreanswers. Your friends think you're complaining about success. Meanwhile, you're sitting on a decision that could make or break everything—and no safe place to think it through.
That's exactly why I run a Vistage group.
The Truth About Growing Past $10M
The year before I joined Vistage, my company did $2.8 million. Four years later: $14 million. Then sold for 8x EBITDA.
Did Vistage hand me that growth? No. But it gave me something more valuable: twelve CEOs who'd been there, done that, and weren't afraid to call BS on my blind spots.
Now I chair that same experience for business owners across St. Louis and Central Missouri.
This Isn't Networking. It's Navigation.
Half- and full-day sessions where we dissect real problems, not theoretical case studies. Your issue on the table. Experienced business owners and CEOs attacking it from every angle.
Everyone's from different industries. Nobody wants your customers. The only agenda is collective growth.
We'll tell you what employees won't, what consultants shouldn't, and what you need to hear, especially when you don't want to hear it.
World-class experts on topics that matter now: AI implementation, acquisition strategies, leadership dynamics, market disruption. Real tools, not motivational fluff.
Who Thrives in My Group
We're not looking for perfect businesses. We're looking for leaders hungry enough to get uncomfortable.
Done pretending you have all the answers
Ready to give as much as you get (this isn't a spectator sport)
Based in Greater St. Louis or Central Missouri (we meet in person)
$1M-$10M revenue (You're past startup, not yet enterprise)
Small to emerging management team (Still in the weeds but ready to lead from above)
What Actually Happens
The Compound Effect Is Real. Ask Any Member Who's Been In For More Than Two Years.
You stop making six-figure decisions alone at 2AM
You finally fire that problem employee (with a plan)
Your leadership team starts solving problems without you
Your business value doubled because you're not the bottleneck
Three Reasons CEOs Say No (And Why They're Wrong)
You don't have time NOT to. One day per month to work ON your business instead of IN it. Your competition is making time.
They're not strangers after month one. And confidentiality is ironclad; we've all got too much to lose.
Your advisors tell you what you want to hear. Your Vistage group tells you what you need to hear. Big difference.
