In one hour, everything changed

So, first of all…wow.

What happened today at The Round Table reminded me exactly why this group was created in the first place.

At the beginning of our call, one of our members, a CEO of a nationally recognized company, brought up a serious issue he was facing around a contract breach and the aftermath.

It was not something he'd typically share openly. But that's the point. This is a space where you can.

The insight and perspective that came pouring in from the group was so sharp, so grounded, and so strategic…it shifted the entire energy of the room. It even made me pause and reevaluate my own beliefs around leadership and responsibility.

Before we ended the call, he said something I'll never forget:

"In the hour between when this call started and when it ends, things have changed."

That's what this is all about.

It's not just networking. It's not a mastermind. It's not content.

It's a round table of men and women who get it…who operate at a high level and want to go even higher, together.

If you've been considering applying for a seat…this is your nudge. Click here.

See you soon.

Calm is a skill, not a mood.

Most people wait for calm to happen.

They chase a slower schedule…less stress…fewer problems…

as if peace is something the world is supposed to deliver to them.

But here's the truth:

Calm is not a condition.

It's a skill.

It's trained.

Built.

Sharpened under pressure.

And chosen…especially when you don't feel like choosing it.

Anyone can seem composed when the path is smooth.

But it's in the friction…the deadline, the miscommunication, the unexpected detour…

that your real operating system shows itself.

Calm is what separates the person who leads from the person who reacts.

Because when you stay composed, you stay in control.

Of your energy.

Of your words.

Of the room.

Calm isn't passivity.

It's precision under pressure.

Here's your challenge this week:

Next time you feel triggered…by delay, disrespect, disarray…pause.

Don't match the chaos.

Hold it.

Observe it.

Choose to respond from clarity, not emotion.

Breathe once.

Speak slower.

And let your steadiness become the sharpest thing in the room.

Because the world doesn't need more noise.

It needs examples of what grace under pressure looks like.

And the more you train calm like a skill,

the less the world can shake you.

To your greatness,

-James Michael Sama

Thursday, the doors open again

There's a power in being surrounded by those who think like you do…those who build, lead, and live with intention.

This Thursday, The Round Table gathers once more.

A private circle of high performers, founders, advisors, and visionaries who've outgrown surface-level conversations…

and are ready to build legacy.

Inside, we don't chase tactics.

We share strategy.

We challenge blind spots.

We expand each other's worlds.

If you've been watching from the outside, this is your moment to step in.

Because the seats are filling.

And the conversations are evolving.

If accepted, you'll gain:

– Access to elite minds across various industries.

– A metal membership card that unlocks private gatherings, premium partnerships, and insider resources.

– A community where excellence isn't exceptional…it's expected.

Your invitation isn't guaranteed.

But your transformation might begin with one application.

→ Apply now before the next gathering begins.

We built this room for people like you.

The kind who don't just want more…they want better.
