Peer Advisory Groups for Growth-Stage Entrepreneurs

What Mentor Pods Is

Mentor Pods is a coached peer advisory experience for growth-stage entrepreneurs and small business owners. Members meet weekly in small, curated groups led by an expert coach. Every pod is hand-matched by stage, industry diversity (no direct competitors), and personality... so you get peers who actually move you forward, not just network with you.

Founded by Matt Radicelli in 2024, Mentor Pods grew out of his own experience scaling Rock The House Entertainment into the largest event entertainment company in its Cleveland market. He built Mentor Pods to give other founders the structured support system he wished he'd had.

• 5.0 average rating from member reviews.

Who It's For

Mentor Pods is designed for established small business owners and growth-stage entrepreneurs who feel the ceiling... revenue plateau, team bottlenecks, founder burnout, the loneliness of being the only one with the full picture. If you've outgrown DIY content and generic masterminds, and you want a curated room of peers plus an expert coach pulling you forward, this is for you.

How It Works

1. Discovery call. A real conversation about your business, your goals, and whether we're a fit. No pitch, no pressure.
2. Pod matching. We hand-select your pod by stage, industry diversity, goals, and personality. The mix is the magic.
3. Weekly live sessions. Structured agendas, expert coaching, peer accountability. You show up, you do the work, you compound.
4. Measurable results. If you do the work and don't see real improvement, we make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a mastermind group?

Most masterminds accept anyone who can pay and meet infrequently. Our pods are curated. Every member is vetted for stage, mindset, and commitment. You get a dedicated expert coach, structured accountability, and real breakthroughs... not just networking.

How much time does it take?

Less than you'd think. Most members say it's the most productive commitment on their calendar. We'll walk you through the details on your initial call.

What does "guaranteed results" actually mean?

We stand behind the experience. If you show up, do the work, and don't see measurable improvement in your business, we make it right.

How are pods matched?

We hand-select each pod based on business stage, industry diversity (no direct competitors), goals, and personality. The right mix is critical to the experience.

Can my team members participate?

Yes. Your key people are welcome to join at no extra cost. When you invest in the people running your business alongside you, everyone wins.

What if I can't make every session?

Life happens, and we've built flexibility into the experience. That said, consistency is what makes the pod work... for you and your podmates.
