Where We’ve Been—and Where We’re Going Next at Mastering Strategic Advisory
Over the last three years, Mastering Strategic Advisory has become the go-to community for marketers who are ready to stop chasing deliverables—and start charging for strategy.
We’ve walked alongside marketers as they made the leap from “doing the work” to leading the work. And the impact has been real:
✦ 5 cohorts
✦ Nearly 40 alumni
✦ A thriving Tier 2 community of experienced advisors
But we’re not stopping here. In 2026, we’re expanding the vision.
What’s Coming Next
Starting in 2026, Mastering Strategic Advisory becomes a yearlong mastermind experience, structured to support you wherever you are on the advisory journey.
1 - Learner Community Re-Imagined
For marketers learning to:
Add strategic advisory to their current offers
Package and price strategy with confidence
Lead clients more powerfully—not just execute for them
Monthly 2-hour intensives alternate between:
Selling strategic advisory (business development, pricing, packaging)
Serving as a strategic advisor (facilitation, diagnostics, leadership)
Past 12-week cohort alumni?
You’re eligible for one of 6 alumni seats in the Learner community with discounted pricing and waived onboarding.
2 - Practitioner Mastermind Advanced
Already established with a strong core of five members, the Practitioner group is for marketers who:
Are currently serving at least 2 clients with $3k-5k/mo advisory retainers
Use a diagnostic-first model
Want to grow a strategy-first consulting practice, not an execution agency
We meet twice a month for 90-minute sessions, focusing on real client scenarios, offer refinement, and high-level business strategy.
We have room for up to 3 more practitioners in 2026. If you're ready for that kind of peer group—apply now.
Built for Collaboration and Growth
This isn’t just a mastermind. It’s a business development ecosystem built for real strategic advisors.
Inside the MSA community, you’ll find:
A unified Slack channel for real-time peer advisory, resource sharing, and feedback
Quarterly combined workshops with Learners + Practitioners to cross-pollinate ideas and deepen your toolbox
Mentorship opportunities to elevate others and keep sharpening your own skills
A referral commission structure complete with recommended pricing models, so you can:
Bring in subject matter experts for your client without guesswork
Get paid when collaborating on someone else’s client
Say "yes" to bigger opportunities with confidence
We’re also building preferred relationships with:
Fractional agencies where members can apply for leads
Trusted execution teams so you know your strategies will be implemented well and profitably
This means easier collaboration, better client outcomes, and less time vetting partners.
If you’ve been craving a smarter, more strategic way to grow your business with fewer bottlenecks, this is it.
In-Person Experiences for Real Connection
We’ve all experienced the magic that happens when a Slack conversation turns into a trusted partnership. When a peer becomes a referral partner. When a resource shared on Zoom becomes a repeat collaboration.
Now we’re bringing that connection to life—in person.
As part of the broader Good Humans Growth Network, you’ll have access to:
2 U.S.-based events and 1 UK-based event each year
Focused on professional growth, strategic networking, and advisor-level business development
First up: GROW | Feb 25–28, 2026 | Galveston, TX
A not-to-be-missed gathering of values-aligned leaders.
Note: MSA members get member rate at these events (~ $800 annual savings!)
Timeline
Practitioner Community 2.0 kicks off January 2026, applications open for new members in January as well.
Learner Community opens for applications in January, launches in March
GROW Live Event is happening February 25–28 in Galveston, TX
