315 Mastermind Part 2 – The Mindset That Built Multimillion-Dollar Empires
In this second part of Art’s exclusive mastermind session recorded on a Mediterranean cruise, four extraordinarily successful entrepreneurs reveal the mindset shifts, identity traits, and beliefs that took them from startups to multimillion-dollar exits.
Meet the panel:
- Tim Murphy – Built Presidential Pools from cleaning pools to 35,000+ pools and the largest pool builder in the US
- Tim Barone – Grew Vantage Mobility from $5M to $350M in wheelchair accessible vehicles
- Darren Wellborn – Scaled his civil engineering startup to 500+ engineers across 6 locations
- Louis Basile – Co-founded Wildflower Bread Company, growing from home kitchen recipes to 16 restaurant locations
You’ll discover:
✓ Why thinking of work as “fun” rather than work changes everything
✓ The “zero debt” philosophy that eliminated fear and accelerated growth
✓ How to hire people smarter than you (and why most entrepreneurs struggle with this)
✓ The power of giving employees “a piece of the action” and why it creates unstoppable momentum
✓ Why “refusing to fail” doesn’t mean avoiding risk—it means the opposite
✓ The mindset shift from “running in the business” to “running the business”
✓ How authenticity and curiosity become competitive advantages
Key insight: These leaders didn’t just build companies—they built cultures where employees became family, customers became advocates, and even competitors became allies.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, sales professional, or building a team, these battle-tested insights will shift how you think about success, leadership, and what it really takes to dominate your market.
Part 1 (Episode 314) covered their strategies and tactics. Part 2 reveals the thinking behind the success.
