The FAST FOUNDATIONS MASTERMIND is a 6 month program featuring:
- 2 multi-day live events

- Monthly virtual expert sessions
- Access to a massive library of resources
PLUS
Lifetime access to our private platform where we save recordings of everything we do and connect you to the community of alumni who’ve experienced the same program.
We're approaching 400 members, so we can truly say "The Help & Advice You Need Is In This Room or One Connection Away!"
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.

Meet Your Co-Hosts
R.T. Custer & Jim Carter III
Back in 2019, we met in this same Fast Foundations Mastermind Program. At the time, it was run by our friend and mentor, Chris Harder. The program helped us both scale our businesses past 7 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 Mastermind. We had one dream… to make this the single best community for entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and make their impact.
Between us, we’ve created three multiple 7-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 network and our own coaching, and we want to share this immersive, six-month program that drastically helped us achieve our goals with you!
R.T. Custer
As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, R.T. brings years of experience with CPG, brands, logistics, and marketing to real-world business. As a visionary, he leads the Fast Foundations program with pride & brings the joy into every conversation.

Proud #girldad, lover of coffee, and dad joke aficionado, Jim will guide, challenge & unblock the biggest challenges you have in a simple & actionable form.
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!

These parameters are put in place as a guideline to ensure everyone is in similar spots in their businesses.
A: We carefully built this to be six months because we wanted this to be long enough to create real growth, but also compact enough so that you can commit to it and sprint ahead in 2023! People who are in the early stages of entrepreneurship need a fast and immersive program, but not one that takes up too much of their time either.
A: We have two simple, flat rate options for you to join.

The magic of a Mastermind is truly connecting with other driven, talented entrepreneurs. This is also a way for you to find your like-minded tribe that you cannot find in your area. You simply can’t accomplish this on a deep or meaningful level “online only.” Anyone who sells you an online-only mastermind is simply selling you a hyped up e-course. This is also a great time for us to get to know you and your business better and for you to learn in person from some of our celebrity entrepreneur friends.

All other snacks, lunches, and one epic dinner experience are our treat to you per event!
