What is "Lemonade Maker LIVE"?
This is not a networking event.
This is not a round-table of opinions.
And it’s not group therapy for entrepreneurs.
The Lemonade Maker® LIVE Experience is a curated, workshop-style session led by Thomas Minieri, designed to:
✔️ Expose the real issues holding businesses back
✔️ Eliminate bad advice, false assumptions, and wasted effort
✔️ Restore clarity around what actually matters next
✔️ Provide practical strategy entrepreneurs can apply immediately
You’ll leave with direction — not just ideas.
What a session looks like
Each Lemonade Maker LIVE session follows The Orientation Cycle:
✔️ Disruption — breaking false clarity and hidden assumptions
✔️ Illumination — restoring clean reference points
✔️ Path Definition — defining the next aligned moves
✔️ Horizon Briefing — widening perspective toward the deeper game ahead
The structure is consistent.
The conversations are real.
Who typically attends Lemonade Maker® LIVE?
Founders, business owners, and CEOs from a wide range of industries attend Lemonade Maker® LIVE. What they share is a desire to grow thoughtfully, openness to new ideas, and a willingness to reflect on how their business is structured and led.

Do I attend local or virtual?
Lemonade Maker® LIVE operates primarily through local, in-person events in select cities. Sessions are designed as guided, high-energy workshop environments—large enough to benefit from collective perspective, while structured to prevent hit-and-run peer advising or unfocused discussion.
When a local event is not yet available, qualified participants may be invited to a virtual Lemonade Maker® LIVE session. These virtual sessions serve as orientation and placement experiences, not as replacements for the live room.
Many members begin virtually and transition into a local Lemonade Maker® LIVE event as new cities open.
February 2026 Agenda
Tactic overload is the silent killer of growth.
This session dismantles the addiction to new ideas and clarifies:
✔️ Why “good ideas” often fail when deployed too early
✔️ How bad advice disguises itself as progress
✔️ How to identify the one missing idea that actually matters
The focus is not doing more marketing.
It’s restoring clarity so effort starts producing results again.
March 2026 Agenda
Selling breaks down when decisions are forced too late in the process. This session shows how to design a frictionless sales path where trust, clarity, and commitment are resolved before the sales conversation.
The result is a calm, ethical, non-manipulative process where the right people decide naturally—and the wrong ones self-select out.
