This question really challenged thinking, again


I know it’s that time between Christmas and New Year’s, and most people are trying to figure out what to do with those ugly socks from your cousin and when it’s finally okay to admit that nobody is going to eat that fruitcake. These last few weeks I’ve been looking back on the MAstermind in the Mountains we did in February, The Thing Nashville in June, and The Thing Orlando in November, and all of the amazing things that we’ve been helping remarkable leaders do, together.

For me, this week has always been the time to stop looking back and start looking forward. I want to be sure I hit the ground running, so I’ve asked: What’s next? What’s possible for the new year?

I’ll never forget those iconic Gatorade commercials from the '90s with Michael Jordan. Remember “Like Mike”? Fast forward to today, and they’ve revived the campaign with the GOAT himself and rising stars like Caitlin Clark, asking a simple but profound question:

“Is it in you?”

Let me ask you the same thing in a different way: What’s in you?

What’s that brilliance, that spark, that thing inside you that the world hasn’t seen yet? What’s the wisdom you’ve been keeping to yourself that could transform someone’s life—if only you shared it?

Is it in you? What’s within you for 2025?

What’s that idea? That dream that feels so big it’s almost too scary to say out loud? The one you can’t stop thinking about, even when everything else tells you it’s impossible.

Now for the bigger question: Are you getting the support you need to bring that greatness to the world?

It’s easy to get caught in the cycle of isolation, trying to figure everything out alone. But you don’t have to. The world is waiting for your story, your ideas, your solutions—but greatness doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That’s why everything I create is built around community and the principle from the African Proverb, ….If you want to go far, Go Together.

That’s why I created the Elite Mastermind Herd.

This isn’t just another group—it’s a powerhouse of accountability, insight, and connection to help leaders like you show up for the people waiting on what you have to offer. Many of the leaders, and speakers from The Thing community are part of this group. Collaboration isn’t something we just talk about, it’s at the core of what we do.

Here’s how the Herd helps you:

  • A 1-on1 VIP day designed just for you and your business to clear roadblocks and focus your strategy
  • Monthly coaching calls to refine your ideas and make real progress
  • Two group calls per month where you’ll connect with peers who challenge and encourage you
  • And most importantly, a community that believes in you, stands with you, and helps you rise.

The truth is, the greatness inside you needs the right environment to thrive—and that’s what the Herd is all about. You don't have to do it alone anymore.

I’ve worked hard to keep this accessible because I believe in your potential. But I won’t lie—prices will be going up soon. This is your chance to lock in the current rate and commit to making 2025 the year you finally unleash the brilliance within you.

So, I’ll ask again: Is it in you?

If it is, don’t wait. The world is ready. Are you?

The Best is Yet to Come,
Terry

I’m Terry Weaver — business coach and idea strategist who specializes in helping remarkable leaders navigate the galaxy of entrepreneurship. My biggest goal is to help YOU discover what you really want and help discover the map to head in the direction and arrive at the destination. You desire. It’s the age old Spice Girls question I ask all my clients:“ Tell me what you want, what you really really want.” Almost immediately after high school I became a full time speaker speaking to students in middle school, high school, and colleges. During that time I accidentally found myself in the music business helping artists navigate moving their dreams from their garage to selling out shows and topping the charts. Standing on stage in a packed arena things began to shift for me.

We’re one week out from The Thing Nashville—and I want to speak to the tension a lot of us are feeling right now. The world feels uncertain. Heavy. Distracting.There’s fear in the headlines, noise in our feeds, and pressure to stay quiet, play it safe, or just survive. But you weren’t made to shrink back.You weren’t wired to sit this one out.You were called to create. To lead. To build something that actually matters. And if that’s stirring something in you, I want you in the room with us....

I’m a little emotional today. On June 2, 2017, the first Thing began. I closed the day, and we had Lee Cockerell as a surprise guest—he was the VP of Operations for Walt Disney World. My friend and brand powerhouse Leigh Holt spoke as well. Since then, we’ve had Disney Legends, industry leaders, best-selling authors, circus performers, and world-renowned creators all take The Thing stage. All with one mission: to help remarkable leaders do their thing. It’s wild to think that this year marks...

At The Thing Nashville, you’ll do more than “find your passion.”You’ll get real clarity—so you can make confident decisions about what’s next. You won’t just “take the first step.”You’ll get unstuck, build momentum, and start executing with proven strategies that actually work in today’s...
