In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Ann McNeil — a visionary thought leader, master strategist, and a woman who has dedicated her life to elevating others through the power of masterminds.
Ann shares the origin story of her transformation, beginning on December 31, 1979, when reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill ignited a fire within her. That moment led her to create her first mastermind group — a decision that ultimately reshaped the entire trajectory of her life.
From there, Ann went on to become a highly successful entrepreneur and founder of MCO Construction and Services, a company built on faith, discipline, accountability, and a lifelong devotion to personal mastery.
Together, we explore the profound principles behind mastermind groups — the structure, the accountability, the sacred commitment to growth across all ten areas of life. Ann speaks with clarity and conviction about the power of setting aligned goals, creating community, and grounding success in spiritual practice — a wisdom she attributes to the deep teachings she received from her mother.
This episode is a reminder that transformation is not accidental. It is intentional, devotional, and deeply supported when we surround ourselves with people who hold us to our highest vision.
If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or someone ready to step into full alignment with your purpose, Ann’s message will activate something powerful within you.
