Capacity
Eight one-day workshops over two years in Tampa, Florida. A cohort limited to 30 business owners, founders, and senior leaders, blending strategic teaching, small-group work, and real peer relationships that outlast the program.
Get clear on the vision, mission, and core values guiding every decision.
Set priorities that matter and build goals your team can rally behind.
Apply proven frameworks to the real decisions shaping your business.
Hand off the right work to the right people and vendors with confidence.
Replace busyness with intentional productivity that moves things forward.
Evaluate your options with a strategic eye, and pick what fits.
Identify the God-given strengths that set you apart, and build around them.
Clarify your calling, and lead with conviction rooted in purpose.
Build a culture and principles strong enough to hold through growth.
A founder who's actually built what he teaches, he grew Office Pride from the ground up into a national, faith-based franchise system, and along the way learned to steward it well, proof that scaling a business and staying anchored to purpose don't have to be competing goals.
He's authored several books on the subject, including Stop Using the B Word and The Stress Less Business Owner, and now leads the Strategic Thinking Network to help other Christian business owners build that same clarity into how they lead.
Attendees are hand-selected. Space is intentionally limited to 30 per cohort, so the relationships built in the room stay real.
Christian business owners, founders, and senior leaders who want strategic peers outside their own industry. This isn't a networking group, it's a working cohort.
A short application, followed by a conversation with our team to confirm fit before a seat is offered. We keep cohorts small on purpose.
You're added to the waitlist for the next available cohort and notified the moment a seat opens.
All sessions are held in person in Tampa, Florida, for the full two-year duration of your cohort.
A full day, 9 AM to 4 PM, with breakfast and lunch provided. Todd and Tom lead the teaching, then the room breaks into small groups to apply it directly before regathering to report back.
The cohort model depends on continuity: the same room, the same people, every quarter. Consistent attendance is expected. Life happens, and we'll work with you if a conflict comes up, but this isn't built for drop-in attendance.
Most peer groups are built around industry or revenue tier. STN is built around calling. Every cohort blends business strategy with eternal perspective.
