One community built on trust.
Not what you expect. Better.
Monday morning
A member posts about a hiring decision they have been wrestling with. Other operators chime in with what they would weigh, how they have handled the same call, and what they learned getting it wrong before. Not commentary from someone who read about it. Real experience from owners who have lived it.
Thursday afternoon
The monthly masterclass covers something every operator is wrestling with. This month it is pricing for service businesses. A member or guest with real experience leads the conversation. Members ask the questions they have not been comfortable asking in other rooms.
Saturday morning
A member sends a message: "Made the call. It went well. Wouldn't have made it without last week's conversation in the room." This is the room. It works because everyone shows up for each other.
Real community. Your level of involvement.
Both tiers give you access to the same trusted peer community. Council adds the in-person experience for those who want to go deeper.
The full experience. Digital community plus your in-person OKC inner circle.
- Private Member App
The room you can bring questions to. Ask, share wins and hard moments, and hear how other owners have approached what you are working on.
- Monthly Masterclasses
Online sessions on the topics that actually matter to operators. Operations, leadership, money, culture. Member-led or guest-led. Peer experience, not professional instruction.
- Member Spotlights
Every member gets a dedicated spotlight so the room understands what you are building. Real introductions inside the group. Not a referral channel.
- Quarterly Roundtables
In-person sessions with your OKC peer table. The kind of honest conversation that only happens face to face. Where you bring what you are actually working on.
- Coffee Meetups
Coffee meetups, dinners, and local gatherings in Oklahoma City designed for real connection. Not mingling. Not small talk. Time with people you can trust.
- Curated Local Circle
A smaller, hand-selected group within the larger community. Your closest peers. The people you call when something big happens.
The community, the conversations, and the support. Digital-first. Always accessible.

Members of Founders Roundtable share real things about their businesses. Hires they are weighing. Pricing they are testing. Partner conversations. Numbers. The level of honesty the room runs on requires trust, and trust requires intention about who is in the room.
We do not select based on revenue or title. We select based on mindset, character, and a genuine desire to both receive and contribute. The wrong person in the room changes the whole room. We take that seriously.
Every application is reviewed personally by Ryan or Lacey. If it is a strong fit, we reach out to have a conversation. No high-pressure calls. Just an honest exchange about whether FRT is right for you.
Fill out a short application so we can learn a little about you and your business.
Ryan or Lacey reads every application. We are looking for fit, not credentials.
If it looks like a strong fit, we reach out to set up a short conversation.
No pressure. If it feels right for both sides, welcome to the room.
A strong fit looks like this.
You are a strong fit if you
- Have 5 to 30 employees and are past pure survival mode
- Make decisions without a real peer sounding board
- Have tried other groups and left feeling like something was missing
- Are growth-minded and actively building
- Want to give as much as you receive
- Are honest, self-aware, and willing to be real in a group
- Have genuine skin in the game
This is not the right fit if you
- Are primarily looking for leads or referrals
- Are a solopreneur without growth plans
- Are not open to being real with a peer group
- Already have a strong inner circle of founders
- Want a passive, low-engagement membership
- Are looking for a polished program over honest community
We are still building the founding cohort.
Tell us a little about yourself. We review every application personally and will reach out if it's a strong fit.
