Welcome to Masterminds

Thrive Lounge Masterminds is a private, forward-thinking forum designed exclusively for managing directors, business owners and CEOs who want to build more than just a successful business — they want to build a future.

Created by Ben Clay (Clay Wealth Management) and Mark Jennings (ActionCOACH), this is a unique opportunity to step out of the day-to-day and into a room filled with strategic minds, honest conversations and powerful insights.

It’s a space for clarity, connection and continuous growth — professionally and personally.
