AI Agency Mastermind's Broken Promises Cost Me $20,000

I took a $20,000 plunge into the AI Agency Mastermind program back in March 2025. God, I remember sitting at my desk that day, credit card in hand, heart racing a bit as I clicked “confirm payment.“ Their promises of expert coaching and support sounded exactly like what I needed for my business. Fast forward six months, and I'm still trying to make peace with what has easily become one of the worst investments I've made in my professional journey.

Those daily coaching calls they raved about? What a letdown. Between March and September, I'd literally mark my calendar, rearrange meetings, only to receive last-minute cancellation notifications. More than 70% of scheduled calls either vanished with barely any notice or got pushed to absurd times—3 AM my time on several occasions. I remember one particular Tuesday when I declined a client meeting to attend their “breakthrough strategy session,“ only to get a cancellation text five minutes before. When calls actually happened, they'd often cut the promised 60-minute sessions down to hurried 15-20 minute conversations. I'd frantically try to ask specific questions, but responses were typically along the lines of “that's a great question for another time“ or “just follow the framework we discussed.“

The leadership team's silence was deafening. I meticulously tracked my questions—27 of them—submitted through their Discord and email between March and August. Only 3 ever got responses. I still have the spreadsheet where I logged them all. One particular question about integrating their systems with my existing client workflow sat unanswered for 11 weeks. Their “24/7 support from industry experts“ apparently meant “almost never, from whoever happens to be online.“

The course materials? I still shake my head thinking about them. After dropping $20,000, I expected cutting-edge, proprietary content. Instead, I found myself watching videos that felt eerily familiar. Their “proprietary“ prompt engineering module included examples that matched—sometimes word for word—resources I'd previously seen on public GitHub repositories. Their client acquisition material was basically a rehash of free YouTube tutorials I'd watched months before signing up.

The community aspect was equally hollow. The Discord server, supposedly bustling with successful agency owners, felt like a ghost town most days. From March through September, the same handful of accounts dominated every conversation. I'd log in, day after day, hoping to connect with peers, only to see the same five or six usernames in every thread.

As for accountability—one of their biggest selling points—it simply didn't exist. Not once in six months did anyone reach out to check my progress or offer guidance when I hit roadblocks. I specifically remember sending a message in June about my stalled client acquisition, including screenshots of my outreach campaigns that weren't converting. Complete silence in response.

I tried repeatedly to address these issues. Sent formal emails on April 10, May 7, June 22, July 15, and August 3. Left messages in the support channel. Even tried tagging Wyatt and Carson directly a few times. Nothing but automated replies and silence.

This program utterly failed to deliver on its promises. The value I received nowhere near justified the significant investment. If you're considering this program, please do your homework thoroughly before parting with your money.
