What client say about the Makers University
Being coached by Damon and Parker has been nothing short of life changing! As part of their Mastermind program I have been guided to develop my dream app and been coached in rebuilding our family business!
Without their insight, encouragement and belife, I would have given up! They have a gift for seeing possibilities and turn dreams into actionable plans!
I am grateful for their friendship, mentorship, and proud to be part of their Mastermind. These men don't just coach - they transform lives!

Being part of this mastermind group has been one of the most transformative experiences of my business journey. As a creative entrepreneur, having a space to share ideas, tackle challenges, and learn from others who truly understand the ups and downs of running a creative business has been invaluable.
The leadership of Damon and Parker is nothing short of inspiring. Their expertise, guidance, and genuine care for each member’s growth create an environment where collaboration and innovation thrive.
This group is more than a community; it’s a lifeline for anyone looking to elevate their business while being supported by like-minded individuals. I’ve gained not only valuable insights but also lifelong connections and renewed confidence in my entrepreneurial journey.
Lisbeth Stull
Cottage Caboodle
Joining Damon and Parker's mastermind group has been instrumental in the growth of my business over the past two years. The mastermind training has empowered me to create additional revenue streams through both physical and digital products, giving my business a new level of versatility. They have connected me with the resources they use in their own business, which has enabled me to manufacture my own product line, to add additional selling platforms, and to hire support personnel within the industry.
The mastermind group itself feels like a second family; a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who truly understand the unique struggles, successes, and needs of running a business as a solo craftpreneur. It’s a home away from home, where I feel consistently supported and inspired to grow.
If you’re on the fence about joining a mastermind group, let me say this: don’t go at it alone. Finding the right group to trust and grow with is invaluable. Damon and Parker are two of the most open, generous entrepreneurs I’ve ever met, and I trust them implicitly. I couldn’t recommend this experience more highly, and only wish I had joined sooner.

Joining Damon’s mastermind has been a transformative decision for my business. The close relationships I’ve formed with other like-minded entrepreneurs have become an invaluable support system, both personally and professionally. The business training provided is not just theoretical but actionable, allowing me to make tangible improvements and confidently tackle challenges in my craft-based business.
The collaborative environment fosters continuous learning, and hearing the experiences and insights of others has sparked new ideas and strategies I hadn’t considered before. Beyond the technical skills and business growth, this mastermind has given me the confidence to pursue goals I once hesitated to chase. Damon and Parker have cultivated a community where we not only learn from them but also from each other, and that’s been a game-changer for my entrepreneurial journey.
I highly recommend this Mastermind! Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us.

I’ve been part of Mastermind for 3 years now, and it has truly changed both my business and my life. The guidance from Damon and Parker is like liquid gold. Add in the other business owners “at the table,” and it’s absolutely priceless.
This community offers a space to bounce ideas, create new things, vent, implement, and so much more. It’s a group of people who just get it when others don’t. Strangers have turned into some of the people I trust most in both life and business.
Invest in your business! I’m so glad I did.
Vanessa Calkins
Owl B Crafty
Joining mastermind was a dream for me as a new small business owner. When I started this journey, I felt overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure if I was even on the right path. I had passion, but I lacked the direction and strategy to turn my dreams into reality.
This mastermind provided more than just tools and knowledge—it gave me a community of like-minded friends who understood the struggles and celebrated the wins alongside me. The guidance, accountability, and encouragement I received were priceless.
This year I learned how to refine my vision, implement actionable strategies, and shift my mindset to focus on growth rather than fear. I’m proud to say that my business is thriving now—something I wouldn’t have imagined just a year ago.
To anyone considering joining, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s an investment in yourself and your business that will pay off in ways you can’t yet imagine. Thank you to the mastermind leaders for dealing with my crazy and helping me navigate one of the most unique types of businesses out there.

I am absolutely in awe of Damon and Parker and the community they have created. Although I joined the Mastermind for business, I got so much more than that! I got a whole new family who gets me and the problems we go through as entrepreneurs. Plus, they have been the absolute sweetest to my family and I can’t thank them enough.
I look forward to our in person meetups because I learn so much and it’s all hands on. Damon and Parker are right there to answer all the questions and willing to sit down and help go through things with you.
All in all, it’s a great group of people and I’m so happy that I am a part of something so wonderful!
Breigh Rodriguez
Spoiled by Breigh
Joining the Mastermind group five years ago has been a game-changer for my business. The knowledge I’ve gained through this experience has been invaluable. From learning new products that have made my business more efficient, to gaining insight on better business practices, every step has contributed to my growth.
What I didn’t expect was the incredible bonus of building lasting business relationships. The connections I’ve made with fellow entrepreneurs have been a source of inspiration, support, and camaraderie. The Mastermind group has not only helped me grow professionally but has also given me a community of business buddies who understand the challenges and successes that come with running a business.
I can confidently say that my business is in a much stronger place thanks to the Mastermind, and I am truly grateful for the growth, knowledge, and friendships I’ve gained along the way.

2020 marked my very first year in The Makers University Mastermind. I went from an extreme introvert, where I started shaking when I felt any eyes were on me to now, 2024.
I have spoken on multiple stages, owned my brilliance and published my first book, and have crossed over to a 6-figure business since then. I experienced the same challenges, but with the mastermind I was equipped to handle and work through them.
Damon and Parker have provided more than business strategy, they helped me find my voice and my strength to step out from behind the curtain and become a leader.
Christine Jerry
The Virtual Collab
Joining this mastermind group has been a game-changer for my business and my personal growth. Over the past two years, my business has transformed and grown tenfold—far beyond what I thought was possible.
The insights, support, and accountability I’ve received from this group are invaluable. Not only have I gained lifelong friends, but I’ve also connected with incredible business partners who continue to inspire and challenge me.
The experience has been nothing short of transformative, and I’m deeply grateful to be part of such an empowering community.

Being a part of this high-level business mastermind group has been an absolute game-changer for both my personal growth and the success of my business. The caliber of people in the group is unparalleled—each member brings a unique perspective, deep expertise, and a willingness to collaborate and elevate one another. What truly sets this mastermind apart is how each member contributes their individual experiences and knowledge, creating a powerful collective intelligence. This shared wisdom has been essential in tackling complex business challenges, identifying new growth opportunities, and refining my leadership skills. The insights and strategies we exchange are absolutely invaluable, and the collaborative environment fosters real, actionable solutions.
A key element in the mastermind’s success is the leadership of Damon and Parker. They are truly invaluable—both are a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Their thoughtful, encouraging, and wise approach creates an atmosphere of trust and openness, while their generosity in sharing their time, insight, and resources ensures that each member gets the most out of every session we have together. They continuously push us to think bigger, act bolder, and become better business owners.
What’s more, the relationships within this group are something special and unique. Each member has become more than just a colleague—they’ve become a trusted friend. This mastermind is like a big family, where we celebrate each other’s wins, support each other through challenges, and genuinely care about one another’s success.
Since joining, I’ve seen tangible improvements in my revenue, decision-making, and overall confidence as a business leader. I am more focused, more strategic, and more motivated than ever. The accountability, support, and feedback I receive from this group are unlike anything I could get elsewhere. This mastermind is an indispensable resource for any entrepreneur looking to scale their business, elevate their personal development, and build lifelong relationships.

I had high expectations when I signed up for coaching with Damon & Parker. I was looking for someone who could help me double or triple my business, and I needed a coaching partner to bring clarity, strategy, and accountability. Here are the top 5 things I expected, and Damon & Parker delivered on every single one:
Tailored Strategies – They didn’t just offer cookie-cutter solutions. Instead, they analyzed my business in detail and provided strategies that were specific to my goals and challenges.
Actionable Insights – Every session ended with practical steps I could take immediately. There was no fluff—just clear, actionable advice that moved my business forward.
Industry Knowledge – With extensive real-world experience, Damon & Parker brought incredible business acumen, showing me how to navigate challenges and identify opportunities I hadn’t even considered.
Accountability Partner – Damon and Parker ensured I stayed on track, checking in regularly and holding me accountable for the plans we made together.
Clear Communication – Every concept was explained in a way that made sense and felt achievable, making the process much less overwhelming.
What I didn’t expect—yet came to deeply appreciate—were the "delighters" that truly set Damon & Parker apart:
Availability – Whether it was a quick question or a sudden roadblock, Damon and Parker were always there to provide guidance and support.
Exceptional Business Acumen – Beyond just strategies, Damon had an intuitive understanding of my industry and the nuances of scaling a business like mine.
Personalization for My Business – Every piece of advice felt uniquely tailored to my specific goals, challenges, and even my strengths.
Innovative Ideas – Damon constantly brought fresh, creative ideas to the table, helping me think outside the box and stay ahead of the curve.
A Trusted Ally – Most importantly, Damon and Parker made me feel like they genuinely had my back, no matter the situation. I never felt alone in my journey, and that kind of partnership is invaluable. What once would have daunted me is now just a stepping stone - because I know that if I bit off more than I can chew, Damon and Parker will know the answer....or know someone who does know the answer!
Thanks to Damon and Parker, my business is thriving, and I feel more confident as a leader and entrepreneur. If you’re looking for a coach who combines strategic expertise with genuine care and commitment, Damon is the one to choose.
Highly recommend!
PS.....BONUS TIME!!!.....perhaps one of the biggest benefits of the coaching that Damon and Parker provide is the atmosphere and the people they attract. Often, the best part of the learning is not what is presented but what is reflected back from the group. The no-holds-barred feedback, ideas, suggestions, tears, laughter, and business advice are invaluable.
I am blessed to call these people my friends and doubly blessed to call Damon and Parker my mentors!
