Why Most CEO Masterminds Fail (And How We’re Different) 

Founder-Led & Proven
Built and sold an $80M business with no outside capital. This isn’t theory—it’s battle-tested strategy from someone who’s done it.
Execution-Focused, Not Idea-Driven
Every call is structured to solve real business problems. No fluff, no lectures—just high-impact moves that drive profit.
Real, In-Person Founder Connections
Retreats aren’t filler—they’re deep work sessions with vetted founder-CEOs who are scaling and exiting, just like you.
Curated & Intimate—Not YPO or Vistage
No bloat. No oversized groups. This is a focused room of high-caliber operators who move fast and value clarity.

What Leaders are Saying about Working with Me

Tomilee Tilley

Founder & President of Executives Unlimited

Working with Luke and his team at NewAir was an exceptional experience. Luke's leadership, strategic vision, and deep market insights made the recruitment process seamless. Every candidate we introduced was not only impressed by the organization he built but also inspired by his collaborative and inclusive culture. Luke's ability to create strategic partnerships and position NewAir for success is truly remarkable. Organizations could greatly benefit from leaders like Luke.

Adam Craft

Founder & CEO of Elevated Craft

We were carrying too much cash risk on inventory, unsure how to deal with rising tariffs, and I was hesitant to push hard on our factory or rethink our team structure.

Luke encouraged us to renegotiate with our factory—resulting in a meaningful price reduction and 90-day terms post-shipping. During peak tariff uncertainty, he gave steady reassurance that we were in a solid spot financially and just needed to focus on driving sales. He also helped me realize we needed a true marketing leader, not just a manager.
