Talent Engine Master Class
Build the Engine.
Build the Empire.
Who This Is For
01
You've out-knocked, out-closed, and out-worked the rest of your team. You've heard "you should run a team someday." Someday is now. You don't want to guess at leadership — you want the playbook.
02
You got promoted because you produced. Now you're responsible for other people's production — and the skills that got you here aren't enough. You need a system, not more intuition.
03
You run a small business, a regional team, or a new branch. You've done it on grit. You're ready to do it on a system that scales beyond you.
The Inflection
The skills that made you a top rep don't make you a great manager. The skills that made you a great manager don't make you a great organization.
Every step up the ladder requires a different game. Most people try to climb it on the same skills that got them to the last rung. They flame out, plateau, or stay top rep forever.
The ones who keep climbing learn to build.
"You can sell your way to a paycheck. You build your way to an empire."
This master class is for the people who want the second one.
The Framework
The Talent Engine is the system that produces world-class organizations. Five pillars, working together, on a cycle that never stops.
Most organizations have one or two of these working. World-class organizations have all five — and the engine that connects them.
The Master Class is the year you spend learning to build that engine.

12
Months
A full annual cycle. Recruiting season, ramp, push, slowdown, retention, and the next recruiting cycle — every part of the year, covered when you're living it.
24
Live Calls
Two per month. One topic call — a focused master class on a single pillar of the engine. One open mic — bring your specific situation, get coached in front of the room.
5
Pillars
Recruit. Train. Retain. Develop. Repeat. We work through all five over the course of the year, in the order they actually matter.
5
1:1 Coaching Spots
Limited spots available — only taking five individual clients per cohort. Direct hands-on coaching with JP for the duration of the year, available as an add-on.
What's Included
Every member of the cohort receives the full package below — plus three member benefits that compound the value over time.
Each month is a paired set — a topic-specific master class call followed by an open-mic follow-up call where the cohort works through that month's topic in real time. Twelve topics, twenty-four calls, one full year.
Every call is recorded and stored on the cohort platform. Watch live when you can. Replay anytime — on the road, on the treadmill, or at your convenience.
A personalized review of your current organization's engine — recruiting, training, retention, development — to identify what's working, what's not, and where to start the work.
Direct strategy session at onboarding. We map your year against the curriculum and the inflection points specific to where you are right now and where you want to be.
Every framework, template, checklist, and worksheet covered during the master class — downloadable and yours to keep. Path to Preparation, Fab Five, the Leadership Development Program, the Recruiting Efficiency Funnel, and a lot more.
Lifetime Alumni Access. Once you're in, you're in. Return to every future Talent Engine Master Class cohort and participate live — and the curriculum evolves year over year as markets shift, economies turn, and the recruiting landscape changes. You're not buying a static program. You're buying access to a living one. Plus keep every recording, every document, every framework, yours indefinitely. The room only grows.
Referral offer — 25% / 25%. Refer someone from your organization. They get 25% off. You get a 25% refund. The work compounds when more than one person in the room is doing it — your second-in-command, your top rep, your right-hand operator.
20% off everything else. Member pricing on individual coaching, speaking engagements, on-site visits, future course work, and the upcoming Leadership Master Class (2027).
The Curriculum
Every month tackles a specific layer of the engine. The order matters — each month builds on the last.
The Cohort
The Talent Engine Master Class is not a course you buy. It's a cohort you earn a seat in.
Every member is interviewed. Every member is committed. The room is built deliberately so that the people you spend twelve months with are the kind of operators who push you to keep climbing.
You're not just paying for content. You're paying to be in a room of builders.

How to Apply
Application-only means we read every submission and personally vet every member. Here's how the process works.
01
A short form that takes about ten minutes. Tell us who you are, where you are in your career, and what you want to build. You'll get a confirmation email immediately.
02
Every application is reviewed personally. If there's a fit, we'll email you to schedule a call. If there isn't, you'll hear back either way.
03
A direct conversation about whether the master class is the right move for where you are. We'll talk format, content, fit, and investment. No pressure — just clarity.
I'm not in door-to-door sales. Will this still apply to me?
Yes. The Talent Engine framework was built in direct sales but the principles apply to any organization where people are the product — in-home services, retail teams, any business where recruiting, training, and retention drive revenue. If your work involves leading a team of humans, the engine works the same way.
I'm a sales rep, not a manager yet. Can I do this?
If you're serious about becoming a manager, this is built for you. The master class teaches you to think like a builder before you have the title — which is the only reason anyone ever gets the title.
What if I can't make every live call?
Every call is recorded and stored on the cohort platform. You can watch on your schedule. The members who get the most out of the program show up live whenever they can — but no one is penalized for missing a call.
What does Lifetime Alumni Access include?
Once you complete a cohort, you're an alumnus for life. You can return to every future Talent Engine Master Class and participate live. The curriculum evolves year over year — the recruiting market shifts, the economy moves, the talent landscape changes, and the master class changes with it. You're not buying a static program; you're buying access to a living one. You also keep every recording, document, and framework from your year and every year after, yours to reference indefinitely. No annual fee. No expiration. You're in for as long as the master class runs.
What's the investment?
Investment is discussed on the introductory call, after an application is accepted. The master class is a serious commitment of time, energy, and money — and the call is where we make sure the fit is right before either of us commits.
What happens if I'm not accepted?
Not every applicant is the right fit for this cohort, and that's the point. If we don't accept your application, you'll hear from us directly with the reason. In many cases we'll suggest an alternative — sometimes the diagnostic, sometimes a future cohort, sometimes a Clarity Call.
The first cohort starts August 5, 2026. Limited to 30 seats. Applications are reviewed in the order they're received.
