Each subsequent day is filled with dedicated work sessions, coaching, coworking, and learning opportunities. Step by step, you’ll work towards resolving your challenges with the support of your peers.

Balancing work and play is essential. There will be ample time for personal reflection, as well as opportunities to try exciting activities like surfing, yoga, and savoring local gastronomy.

Have we done this before?

Yes! In 2019 the day after Running Remote conference we endured into the highlands of Bali, Indonesia with 7 founders. The mastermind went on for 3 days, and some still talk about it.

It’s fascinating to have seen the growth of those companies in the last few years. 

We have since dreamt of doing another IRL mastermind, but here we are with something even better in Portugal!
