Yes, I run one myself. It's with friends, not a public one, so the quality and accountability is really high. I'm thinking of making a public version though, where it's paid and you get banned if you skip more than 3 meetings, because otherwise there's too much opportunity to skip and not be accountable to your progress.
There's def value in creating a public one if you can keep quality high. I think you're on to something with the idea of kicking people out if they skip X number of meetings.
I recently started one with two friends, each of us is founding a side project at the moment. We meet every two weeks. The format we are doing right now:
We talk about each side project for about 30-60 minutes.
The founder talks about what he's been working on, and what challenges he is facing. We discuss and exchange ideas.
In the end, everyone commits on something he wants to get done by the next meetup.
So we use the group as a place for feedback and new ideas, as well as a way to hold each other accountable. It's our first mastermind group, and so far its going great!
For me I've had good and bad experiences. The best, for me, is when each person brings a new insight AND their own personal experience into a single problem someone is having. What happens most of the time (and it's bad) is that masterminds are filled with ppl who need help and are terrible at giving help.
I'm in two casual chat groups now that is far better than any formal mastermind I've ever been in. In my experience, Async convos have more effect than a scheduled 1 hour sit down chat.
