It takes the core themes and concepts from The Validated Mind and turns them into practical, actionable ways to implement decision validation inside your actual business and life. Seats are limited, and once scheduling is live you will be able to select your preferred date and time. This is not a webinar. It is a working session.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-q\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div>                        <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\n                <\/div><!-- .elementskit-card END -->\n\n                \n                <div class=\"elementskit-card \">\n                    <div class=\"elementskit-card-header\" id=\"primaryHeading-1-276d3348\">\n                        <a href=\"#collapse-8417e716a14ccef65a18\" class=\"ekit-accordion--toggler elementskit-btn-link collapsed\" data-ekit-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#Collapse-8417e716a14ccef65a18\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"Collapse-8417e716a14ccef65a18\">\n                            \n                            <span class=\"ekit-accordion-title\">Will Christopher be personally present in the mastermind?<\/span>\n\n                            \n                                <div class=\"ekit_accordion_icon_group\">\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_normal_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Normal Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-down-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"ekit_accordion_active_icon\">\n                                        <!-- Active Icon -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-up-arrow1\"><\/i>                                    <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n\n                            \n                                                    <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div id=\"Collapse-8417e716a14ccef65a18\" class=\" collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"primaryHeading-1-276d3348\" data-parent=\"#accordion-6a14ccef65a18\">\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-card-body ekit-accordion--content\">\n                            <div class=\"faq-item open\"><div class=\"faq-a\">Yes.
