Curated by Jared Kleinert, USA Today’s “Most Connected Millennial” and featured in
Welcome! Thanks for being here...
if you are considered a “thought leader” in your industry, enjoy being around people who are smarter than you, and are looking to build deep, meaningful relationships with other ambitious entrepreneurs…
We’ve curated a wide-ranging community whereby visionaries such as yourself can forge deep, meaningful connections with other diverse “super-connectors” and subject matter experts, all while enjoying engaging and ROI-generating, off-the-record, and intentionally-crafted weekend retreats.
Since our first summit in January 2018, we’ve hosted hundreds of entrepreneurs generating 7, 8, and 9-figures per year, creators of globally-recognized brands and social movements, New York Times bestselling authors, founders of publicly traded tech companies, former Fortune 500 c-suite execs, and others.
We are building what I believe will be the next PayPal Mafia, where the “Minds” unite to solve society’s most pressing problems and enjoy individual success in the process.
Would you like to join us at an upcoming Meeting of the Minds and experience these curated connections, facilitated follow-ups, and breakthroughs for yourself?
I’m Jared Kleinert, founder of Meeting of the Minds. I started my first business at 15 and later became one of the first 10 employees for an enterprise SaaS startup where I worked under “The Most Connected Man You Don’t Know In Silicon Valley” according to Forbes.
At 18, I became one of the youngest signed authors of a business book in MacMillan’s 175+ year history as one of the elite publishing houses, and soon published two award-winning books profiling hundreds of the world’s smartest and most talented Millennials.
That same year, I began my own marketing consulting firm after landing #1 NYT bestselling author Keith Ferrazzi (former CMO of Deloitte and author of Never Eat Alone) as my first-ever client.
Through my research, and with the help of mentors like the gentlemen mentioned above, I’ve built what many consider a “world-class” network. But rather than continue working with clients one-on-one, I realized there’s far MORE value in building an invite-only membership network where these same like-minded individuals could connect and support each other as well.
Unlike other masterminds, we are not here to share a “proprietary” curriculum, method, or set of processes. We’re focused on solving problems that hold you back from growing your businesses and capitalizing on expansive opportunities.
My job is to curate a diverse set of high-integrity entrepreneurs for each of our gatherings and then work with my team to facilitate deep, meaningful connections among our members so they can tap into the collective intelligence of our network.
If that sounds like a perfect weekend to you, and you’re excited about the opportunity to connect with other small business owners who are “world-class” at their craft, apply now to join us at one of our upcoming summits.
You Should Really Meet the “Minds”
Our network of diverse subject matter experts can provide the strategic insights you need to scale. Our sphere of influence includes individuals who have collectively started companies worth billions of dollars, positively influence hundreds of millions of people through their work, and want to see you succeed.
Below are examples of the type of people who’ve attended our summits.

Where “super-connectors” go to get ahead
Meeting of the Minds allows you to quickly build trust and intimacy within our network of talented entrepreneurs, and then leverage the collective intelligence of our network to solve pressing problems, capitalize on exciting new opportunities, and scale your business.
Our summits are exclusive
Every three months, we convene in places like Napa Valley, Bermuda, Atlanta, New York, etc to focus on high-level strategy, build deep and meaningful connections among other members, and establish life-long friendships.
❌ There is no “buy now” button on this website - everyone who attends Meeting of the Minds is invited, nominated, or applies to join us.
❌ Our sessions are off-the-record, confidential in nature, and attendee-driven (so every Meeting of the Minds is different).
✅ We only include 10-25 attendees per summit, meaning you’ll get a chance to hang out, exchange value, and learn from everyone in attendance.
We have a “no pitch, no ego, and no assholes allowed” policy
❌ We rarely have outside speakers - attendees can “give” to each other through keynotes, leverage “hot seats” to get support on their most pressing problems, and ask for intros, feedback, and opportunities.
✅ By having a diverse network, conversations are inclusive, thought-provoking, and breakthrough-idea-generating.
✅ Everyone is a VIP - we all enjoy a unique shared experience together instead of separating folks based on seniority in our network, level of investment, industry, age, etc.
We actually want you to get business value from our summits
❌ We’re not trying to “sell” you on fancy B-roll of exotic summit locations, “celebrity” speakers, or BS courses and 27-step consulting offers. We focus our efforts on curating great people who actually want to partner with you, share their insights on how to grow your business, etc.
✅ Companies have been bought and sold at our summits, attendees have met investors and business partners at Meeting of the Minds, and conversations at our events regularly lead to referrals of $1k-$100k in value. This is not by accident - we help make these connections happen before, during, and after Meeting of the Minds.
you’ll make life-long friends along the way
❌Before you hire expensive consultants to run Facebook ads, design your website, or publish a book (among dozens of other reasons for hiring outside help), you’ll be able to access hundreds of diverse subject matter experts and super-connectors who’ve attended Meeting of the Minds.
✅You’ll likely meet people you wish to travel with, confide in during hard times, and consider life-long friends. If you watch some of the testimonial videos on our site, it is not uncommon to hear that attendees met many of their closest friends or most trusted advisors through Meeting of the Minds.

5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY NOW
Becoming a member is an investment in yourself and your business - and there’s so much to gain.
Curated Connections

If invited into our network, you’ll gain access to the insights of 100+ diverse entrepreneurs running companies collectively worth over $1B+. Plus, you’ll work with the founder, Jared Kleinert, who becomes your “Connection Concierge” in navigating your new tribe.
DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES
Many of our members are world-class consultants, B2B service providers, and subject matter experts in their own industries who want to see you succeed, and are committed to offering you their accountability, empathy, and resourcefulness in solving pressing problems for you and your business. We also offer executive coaching to help you level-up, plus a “Health and Wellness Expert-In-Residence” at each of our summits to keep you in tip-top shape!
BREAK THROUGHS
You are the mad scientist, generational genius, or world-class craftsman we see as “10 years from titan” in your industry. Because of this, we know that one idea, connection, or “ah-ha” moment from your first Meeting of the Minds with us will generate an overwhelming ROI for you. We have seen the “Minds” leave one of our summits and generate tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars in new revenue, create new partnerships, shift day-to-day strategies for marketing, sales, business operations, personal branding, etc.
FACILITATED FOLLOW-UPS
We serve those who have ideas for how to improve their community, industry, and even society at large. If you’re serious about leaving a legacy and establishing a company to support those visions, then we want to help you. After our quarterly summits, regardless of whether you eventually join our membership network, we make “facilitated follow-ups” to ensure that you continue benefitting from your time with us after everyone heads home from Napa Valley, Bermuda, or wherever else.
SCALE
Not only will you make more money as a result of Meeting of the Minds, but you will save countless hours, days, weeks, months, and even years of time in choosing the best paths forward, hiring top talent, executing on your goals, mapping out effective Standard Operating Procedures, etc. Once you learn top business models, marketing and sales strategies, and “best practices” from other industries, you’ll be able to out-innovate your competitors, better serve your Ideal Customers, and leave a positive, lasting legacy.
“We offer an unmatched ‘More Than Money Back’ guarantee. If you attend one of our summits, and for whatever reason feel like you did NOT receive meaningful return on investment, we will refund you 100% and additionally write a check in your name to your favorite charity. Thankfully, this has never happened. We proudly stand behind our work and hope to hear from you soon!
- Jared Kleinert”
