A lot of travelers spend their time chasing: • the next card • the next bonus • the next redemption • the next “hack” But the travelers who consistently get the best results? They think differently. They make better decisions. They understand leverage. They know what actually matters… and what doesn’t. And often, the biggest breakthroughs don’t come from learning something new. They come from finally understanding the game itself. That’s what makes sessions with JGOOT Founder Joel McDonald different. Because this isn’t just about points. It’s not just about cards. It’s not just about travel. It’s about the mindset, strategy, and decision-making process behind building a life where extraordinary travel becomes normal. In this special live strategy session, Joel will be diving into the ideas, perspectives, and playbook principles that continue to shape the way smart travelers approach points, travel, and opportunity. It’s time for: **The Founder’s Playbook: A Live Strategy Session with Joel McDonald** Inside this session, Joel will cover: • The strategic shifts changing the way smart travelers approach points and travel • Common mistakes that quietly cost people opportunities, flexibility, and value • How experienced travelers think differently from beginners • The difference between collecting points… and building a real travel strategy • Why simplicity often outperforms complexity in the long run • The mindset and habits that lead to more consistent travel success This isn’t about chasing hype. It isn’t about finding one magic trick. It’s about learning how to think strategically in a world full of noise, distractions, and endless “travel hacks.” And when you understand the playbook behind the playbook… you stop reacting to opportunities randomly… and start creating them intentionally.

Learn to manage stress and achieve self-growth through simple relaxation and Meditation. Heartfulness Meditation is a simple, modern, methodical approach to meditation.

It focuses on the heart, allowing individuals to connect with themselves on a deeper level, and ultimately achieve peace, relaxation, and clarity.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
