The Founders Forge
A Private Council for Real CEOs Who Want to Sharpen, Scale, and Serve
If you’ve built the business but want deeper clarity, stronger leadership, and a circle that challenges you - this is the room.
You’re Surrounded… and Still Alone.
You’re the one people come to for answers, deals, vision.
But who do you talk to when the weight gets heavy?
Who challenges you to rise—not just in revenue, but in identity?
Most “CEO groups” feel like surface-level pitch fests.
You don’t need more noise. You need fire.
Welcome to The Founders Forge.
Not a Mastermind. Not a Networking Group.
A Leadership Forge.
The Founders Forge is a private, curated council of high-integrity founders and CEOs.
We gather monthly in Palm Beach County to:
- Sharpen strategy
- Forge real relationships
- Expand mastery
- Walk out clearer and stronger than when you came in
No pitches. No posturing. No pretending.

Meet Your Guide: Douglas "Dug" McGuirk
I’ve trained Fortune 100 companies, stood on stages with the best in the world, and walked men and women through fire—literally.
But this is the room I wanted for myself. So I built it.
You don’t need another coach. You need a container that sharpens you.
That’s what the Forge is.
Let’s build what outlives us.
"I was tired of rooms full of noise. The Forge is the space where myself and others feel truly seen, heard and sharpened!"
