A Mastermind is what happens when key people come together with intention, structure, and a shared stake in each other's success.
Napoleon Hill called it "the coordination of knowledge and effort between two or more people who work towards a definite purpose in a spirit of harmony."
But the part that matters most: when minds come together this way, they create "a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind."
That third mind is the one that sees what you missed. The one that asks the question you did not know to ask. The one that holds you to the goal you set three weeks ago.
THE CFL MASTERMIND LAUNCHES SEPTEMBER 22.
Third Tuesday of the month. 6:30 p.m. At American Social in Brickell.
This is not a happy hour with fútbol in the background. This is the room where the game becomes the lens we use to talk about markets, leadership, media rights, ownership models, and the economics behind what we love.
Co-hosted with Jaime Macias, the Telemundo and Apple TV sports bench-marker & analyst consultant. He will decode the business of the sport: what is happening in club ownership, the influence of broadcast deals, the commercial backbone of the game we watch every weekend.
The format is simple. A strategic topic. Guest voices from the industry. Open dialogue among our CFL players, AKA: You.
Casual setting. Serious exchange.
This is the birth of the CFL Networking series.
EL DATO
It started with the CFL Awards Gala in 2025. That night showed us what happens when you give the community a stage and a reason to gather beyond the game.
Then came the Altura Capital happy hour. Both proved the same thing: our players want more than the pitch. They want the connection. They want to build true relations.
The Mastermind is my vision for bringing the best of us around what we love.
LA JUGADA
The CFL has something rare. Our players are not just athletes on Saturday. They are interesting people who have traveled. Who have sat in boardrooms across industries. Who understand markets, operations, media, finance.
With fútbol, who have attended matches in different countries and built careers in different corners of business.
That profile allows us to build a different kind of room.
Instead of just another networking event where people drink and chat, the Mastermind invites us to use our minds. To dig into what we know in a conversational mode.
To show the depth of who we are and what we have seen.
It seduces us to think together.
In the CFL We Are All Stars
