“A rising tide lifts all ships.” And our tide is always on the rise!
You will drastically transform your business with us!
And when you join, you’re in for life. With lifetime access, you’ll continue to be part of the community as you grow your business — at least until you reach your seven-figure goal and graduate, that is!
Most alumni even stay involved after they’ve grown their business. We encourage you to come back and speak, teach, mentor, coach, and help others reach their potential!
EVENTS
Once per quarter, you can join us IN-PERSON to meet your fellow community members and learn from expert speakers LIVE, setting you up for even more success!
These events are curated based on the community’s needs and priced from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on what’s included.
Our upcoming event is:
- Fall 2023 Mastermind Event
October 3 to 5, 2023 in Scottsdale, AZ
Limited to 20 people, RSVP by September 1st
TRAINING CALLS
We host LIVE Zoom meetings with guest speakers and Q&A time in order to connect you with your community and with amazing trainers who are the best in their respective fields.
This is YOUR time to ask questions and get answers from us, your peers, and the experts.
During the months when we do not have an in-person event, we have at least one of these calls, typically with an expert guest speaker or focused on small group breakout sessions, to actively dive deep into your business and move the needle toward success!
In the months with in-person events, we’ll still host a Zoom call to evaluate the event takeaways together and hold each other accountable to our goals!
When you sign on for an in-person event, we handpick the best coaches in our extended network to work one-on-one with you before, during, and after the event.
You will have three sessions with your coach to unpack the biggest issues you have so they can provide the highest level of support and keep you accountable to the growth you deserve.
Members can choose to work with their coach on an ongoing basis and can even work with multiple coaches!
CONTENT & RESOURCES
With access to our Mighty Networks platform, you can learn even more from the comfort of your home!
We’ve had some of the best trainers in the business record lessons in their Zone of Genius in order for you to learn even more outside of the Mastermind itself.
When you join, you’ll get access to this platform for LIFE. That means you can watch recordings of past in-person and virtual events AND participate in our monthly Zoom calls indefinitely.
Is this ridiculously generous? Yes. Will this offer be around forever? Probably not. Join the community so you don’t miss it!
Throughout the year, Jim and R.T. will coordinate training opportunities for massively discounted, member-exclusive pricing.
These experiences will vary in format, both virtual and in-person, and will be led either by Jim and R.T. or by others in the industry. Examples include: Artificial Intelligence, Finance & Accounting, Business Tax Prep, Email Marketing, Digital Marketing, Public Speaking.
This is one more way our community will continue to facilitate learning and offer growth opportunities between and in addition to live events.

When you step outside your comfort zone and put yourself into rooms with like-minded entrepreneurs, magic happens.
To date, I have 10x my business revenue, went from being a solopreneur to building a team of five, built deep & meaningful relationships as a result of the community and have found the clarity in how I can best serve this World.
My advice? Get in the rooms.
I needed the mentorship, the network, the tools, and the confidence that was needed to take my business to the next level.
I had been an entrepreneur already for a couple years and I had tried to do it on my own and I quickly realized in order to level up, think bigger, play bigger, and scale my business, I needed to get in the rooms with the right people.
I got that 10-fold. Not only did my income triple during Covid as a result of the community, it landed me on my million dollar business idea.
Everything about it felt like “next level”, the training, the people, the energy.
Attending the sessions was like stepping into next level Shana. There were so many great parts of the program, but I think the best was the relationships I created with the other members.
Years later I am still connected to a lot of the people. I learned so much about myself and business during Fast Foundations. It definitely created a quantum leap in my life and business.
The mastermind members, and the guest speakers not only held me accountable, but they stretched me in ways I never could have imagined ... which of course resulted in me scaling my business beyond 7-figures.
The network, collaborations, big thinking, support, and love in that room is something I’ve taken with me over the years.
In the FAST FOUNDATIONS MASTERMIND, we dive into the core pillars of what will make your business succeed, including…
- Understanding your target customer and what they actually want
- Building a strong sales funnel that’s evergreen and works effectively
- Networking with other entrepreneurs and learning from their mistakes
- And much more!

Meet Your Co-Hosts
R.T. Custer & Jim Carter III
Back in 2019, we met in this same Fast Foundations Community at one of the Mastermind Retreat events. At the time, it was run by our friend and mentor, Chris Harder. The program helped us scale our businesses past seven figures and gain the confidence we needed to grow personally and professionally.
In February 2022, we did a big exciting thing and BOUGHT Fast Foundations from Chris. We had one dream… to make this the single best community for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and make their impact.
Between the two of us, we’ve created three multiple seven-figure+ businesses in the fin-tech, luxury, marketing, and charitable spaces and are committed to teaching you what works… and, let’s be honest, what doesn’t.
We have both invested hundreds of thousands into expanding our networks and toward our own coaching, and we want to share this immersive program that drastically helped us achieve our goals with you!

Everything felt so thought-out and done with the intention to support us.
It was through this mastermind I met not only some of my best friends and soul family but people who I have since built and scaled my multiple six-figure businesses with.
This mastermind is a no-brainer.
This incredible community of like-minded entrepreneurs has brought me new friends and business connections as well as life changing lessons on managing finances, growing my business, gaining new clients, social media strategy, and so much more.
In such a short period of time I’ve been able to gain so much clarity around addressing my weaknesses and utilizing my strengths not only in my business, but also in my personal life.
The endless knowledge, wisdom, and resources that I’ve received from this Mastermind will help me in entrepreneurship for years to come.
The set up, the goodies we all got at our spots (amazing books!), so many amazing speakers with support and info ranging so many topics, the People that were brought together in this room to all come together, support and push each other. It’s amazing!
