The Event

Private access to three icons that have scaled at the highest level. Four days working directly with three business icons who have built, scaled, marketed, and exited companies at the highest level. This is not a conference or a series of speeches. It is an intimate working room where your business decisions, and next stage of growth become part of the conversation.

Ron Lynch

The marketing mind behind GoPro. $600K to over $600 million in sales. Producer of documentaries and viral TV commercials seen worldwide.

Sam Goodner

Scaled Flash Parking to a billion-dollar valuation. Author of Like Clockwork: Run Your Business with Swiss Army Precision.

Drayton McLane

Built McLane Company to $19 billion and sold it to Walmart. Bought the Houston Astros and took them to the World Series.

All of these icons know the M3 community well. Drayton hosted M3 at his corporate office in 2023 and is inviting us back. Sam and Ron have both run M3 Mastery Sessions. And all three are excited for the room they're walking into.

Our experience with Drayton will be held at the McLane corporate office, with a VIP tour of the offices led by Drayton himself.

"There's something powerful about putting a group of entrepreneurs at this level in a room together. Learning directly from billionaires and founders operating at that level expands your mind. What Chris is building is special."

Bobbie Racette

Ron Lynch

The marketing mind behind GoPro. His agency took it from a three-person startup doing $600K to over $600 million in sales in the run-up to its IPO.

Bought the Houston Astros for $117 million, built their stadium, took them to the first World Series in franchise history, and sold the club for more than five times what he paid.

Still chairs the McLane Group from Temple, Texas, which is where our private session takes place.

M3 is an invaluable experience that expands your mind and helps you think far bigger than most people normally do. It has put me in rooms with multiple billionaires and people I never would have had access to.
It's been a life-changing experience.

Tim Joiner

Serial Entrepreneur (8-Figure Exit)

Who Is This For

Built for founders who rarely find themselves in the room that can take them to the next level

This room is built for 8-figure operators. Founders running real businesses at scale, who want direct access to people who've built at a far bigger one, and a room of peers who can keep up.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

You've stopped getting value from the rooms you're paying for

You want peers who can challenge your thinking, understand the weight of your decisions, and open meaningful doors.

You want direct access to people who have already scaled at the highest level.

WHY YOU NEED TO BE THERE

Over four days, your business is examined from three different perspectives: Scale and Leadership with Drayton, Operational Execution with Sam, and Marketing and Growth with Ron. You then thun those conversations into a practical implementation plan before leaving Austin.

THE OPPORTUNITY

20 seats, by invitation only. This is the only M3 room in 2027 with Drayton, Sam, and Ron in it, and the only way inside the McLane corporate office with Drayton leading the tour. The room is selected for the founders in it, because the room is half the value. Selection is open now.

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH

In the room

Direct feedback on your business model, your systems, and your next move from three operators who've built at a billion-dollar scale
A plan you start implementing with your team to produce results, before the busyness of life and work
A new community of founders at your level who now know your business and can open doors

Six to twelve months out

Seven-figure revenue shifts. That is the pattern these events produce.
Relationships with three billion-dollar icons and a room of 8-figure operators, which is where the next deals, hires, and introductions come from
A bigger frame for your business, set by people who've built at $19 billion, not by what your current market considers big

SATURDAY, MAY 8

Many have said this is one of the most useful days of the event. On this day, we hold a special session where you can start implementing the things you learned from our featured speakers. Before you return back to the busy-ness of life you get time to put what you learned in action.

What the Members Say

The room speaks for itself.

Bobbie Racette

Founder of Virtual Gurus ($100M Exit)

"I was absolutely blown out of the water with M3. You're getting connected to super intelligent, highly successful entrepreneurs that you're not going to find anywhere else. You get once in a lifetime experiences with fun, like-minded, amazing people. Seems like a no-brainer. I'm a huge fan."

Mike O'Donnell

Founder of CaveTools & Investor

"M3 is close-quarters and intimate in a way that brings the real needle-movers and meaningful conversations to the table. If you're actively trying to move the needle and unlock real momentum, this is a powerful place to be. There are heavy hitters here, and they come without ego."

Jordan Hall

Serial Entrepreneur (Over $100M+ in Marketing)

"Growth is about personal growth. It's about business growth. When you're around M3ers and entrepreneurs from around the world, you have to grow personally and certainly business-wise. This was my third event, and not my last."

Paul Reuter

Serial Entrepreneur & Investor (50+ Years in Business)

"One of the coolest things about M3 is they use experiences to connect entrepreneurs together. Other groups I have been a part of in the past were really hard to form friendships & strong bonds. They make it easy for this to happen. It's been fantastic!"

Mark Zhang

Founder of Manta Sleep ($30M Company)

"I work with some of the biggest brands and names on the planet and I have been so surprised with this community. These guys are the underground connectors that know everyone. They are one of the best I have seen at putting the right people together in the right room. Be in this room!"

Nick Harbaugh

Retail Entrepreneur (20+ years in business)
