About Real Mastermind

A Private Community for Accomplished Entrepreneurs

Real Mastermind is a curated dinner series created for entrepreneurs, business owners, and high-performing professionals who value meaningful relationships over transactional networking.

Our mission is simple: bring the right people into the same room — people who think strategically, operate at a high level, and understand that long-term success is built through trusted connections and shared perspective, not elevator pitches.

Each dinner is hosted at Charcoal Steakhouse, one of Kitchener’s most respected dining destinations. The setting is intentional: exceptional food, attentive service, and a refined atmosphere that naturally encourages thoughtful conversation and genuine connection.

ONLY 20 SEATS PER DINNER TO ENSURE EXCLUSIVITY

Our guests come from a wide range of industries — founders, operators, executives, and investors — united by a common mindset of growth, excellence, and discretion. There is no selling from the stage, no forced introductions, and no surface-level networking.

If you value depth over volume and conversations that actually move the needle, Real Mastermind offers a setting designed for lasting relationships and meaningful opportunity.

Join us on the last wednesday of the month at our next private dinner and experience networking redefined.

Conversation Themes

Perspective, Strategy, and Long-Term Thinking

Rather than formal presentations, Real Mastermind dinners revolve around guided conversations that explore how successful people think, adapt, and build for the long term.

The Past - Lessons from Experience:
What past cycles, successes, and failures teach us about building durable businesses, making smart capital decisions, and avoiding short-term thinking.
The Present - Navigating Today’s Business Landscape:
An open discussion on the realities entrepreneurs face today — evolving markets, shifting consumer behavior, capital constraints, and new opportunities created by change.
The Future - Positioning for What’s Next:
Looking ahead at where opportunity is being created — and how thoughtful leaders position themselves, their capital, and their businesses for sustainable, long-term growth.

Get some answers

Who should attend a Real Mastermind dinner?

Real Mastermind is designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, executives, and investors who are already operating at a high level and value relationship-driven growth.
Attendees typically:
Own or operate established businesses

Have built meaningful personal or business assets

Make strategic decisions around capital, growth, and long-term opportunity

Value discretion, peer-level conversation, and trusted introductions

This experience is best suited for individuals who can both contribute to and benefit from conversations with other accomplished professionals in the room. If you are early in your journey or primarily seeking sales opportunities, this event may not be the right fit.

What makes this dinner different from other networking events?

Real Mastermind is not a typical networking event. It’s a private, seated dinner designed for meaningful conversation among accomplished individuals.

There is no selling from the stage, no forced introductions, and no crowded room dynamics. Instead, the evening is intentionally structured to encourage thoughtful discussion, shared perspective, and genuine relationship-building in a refined setting.

Who typically attends a Real Mastermind dinner?

Our guests include entrepreneurs, business owners, operators, executives, and investors from a wide range of industries.

Attendees are united by a common mindset — long-term thinking, strategic growth, and respect for discretion. While many guests are active investors, the focus of the evening is on people, perspective, and experience rather than any single industry.

What value will I gain from attending?

You’ll gain access to a curated room of high-performing peers, meaningful conversations, and perspectives shaped by real experience.

Rather than surface-level networking, the value comes from the relationships formed, ideas exchanged, and insights gained through dialogue with people who are actively building, leading, and investing at a high level.

Is there a specific focus for the discussions?

Yes — discussions are guided around perspective, strategy, and long-term decision-making.

Themes often explore lessons from experience, navigating today’s business landscape, and positioning for future opportunity. The conversation is shaped by the people in the room, allowing insights to emerge naturally rather than following a rigid agenda.

How do I secure a seat?

Attendance is limited to preserve the quality and intimacy of the dinner.

Tickets are released on a per-event basis and typically fill quickly. Advance registration is recommended to secure your seat at the table

What does it cost to attend?

There is no membership requirement. Guests simply purchase a ticket for the dinner they wish to attend.

Ticket options range from $150, $500, and $1,000, with each tier offering a different level of experience and access. Pricing reflects the curated nature of the event, fine dining, and the caliber of the room.
