Drawing from his transformative journey, Jay Fairbrother shares how personal loss and early struggles shaped his path as an entrepreneur. With insights on masterminds and work-life balance, Jay reveals the power of human connection and resilience in making it through life’s ups and downs.

Making It! explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it.

“The mistake a lot of people make is they keep hanging on to what got them there instead of evolving and adapting.”

— Jay Fairbrother

Jay Fairbrother is a serial entrepreneur, business coach, and mastermind guru with 30 years of experience starting, buying, and selling 7-figure businesses. Jay’s story includes losing EVERYTHING after the 2010 financial crisis and rising from the shame to shine as The Mastermind Guy.

His own participation in masterminds fueled his first business to $10 million annual revenues before selling it in 2004. During his crash and burn after the Great Recession, when he went from multi-millionaire living in a mansion to bankrupt and living in a friend’s basement, his mastermind tribe literally gave him purpose and kept him alive.

Jay has owned nine businesses in six different industries, and his success and massive failures are the fuel from which he imparts his wisdom around entrepreneurship, sales and marketing, and scaling businesses. His story is one of resiliency and reinvention.

Jay’s focus is on helping coaches, speakers, healers, and thought leaders create their own mastermind or hybrid programs to scale their business and deliver massive client transformations. His mission is to create more human connection on the planet… one mastermind at a time.
