The Room Speaks For Itself
CEO LIFE'S THREE PILLARS
Business Networking
Roundtables, speakers, and peer support. Real conversations with operators who've been where you're going. The kind of growth and education you can't get from a podcast.
Relationships and Experiences
Curated local events, national gatherings, and global trips. Friendships built around shared experiences, not awkward conference-room small talk. Daily connection through the CEO Life app, wherever you are.
Giving Back
Member-led philanthropy with local and national impact. Causes our community supports together. Non-divisive, mission-driven, and built around the things that matter beyond business.
How It Works
STEP 1

STEP 3

LOVE IT OR GET REFUNDED
If CEO Life isn't everything we promised, you're refunded 100%. No questions asked.
A Different Kind of Community
Built on three pillars, not one.
Business, relationships and experiences, and giving back. Most communities pick one. CEO Life delivers all three.
Built by a founder who lived the problem.
John Seckel built, scaled, and exited companies, and built CEO Life around what he wishes he'd had the whole way up.
Small chapters by design.
Rooms stay tight so connections stay real. Growth never comes at the cost of community quality.
The most technologically current community in the space.
A private mobile app, a live digital community, and real-time connection between events.
Every member is vetted.
No open enrollment, and no pay-to-play. Every applicant is personally reviewed before an invitation is extended.
How It Works
Built For
- CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, and C-suite executives at every stage of the climb
- Operators who've won the business game but want more from life

Not For
- Anyone looking for a lead list or a place to pitch
- Hobbyists, pre-revenue founders, or side-hustle operators
- People who want a mastermind structure or weekly board meeting cadence
- Anyone unwilling to be vetted before joining
Become a member, attend a live event in your city within 30 days, and experience CEO Life for yourself.
If it's not everything we promised, you're refunded 100%.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does membership cost?
Pricing is shared after your application is reviewed and an invitation is extended. We want to make sure the fit is right before talking numbers.
What's the guarantee?
Become a member, attend a live event in your city within 30 days, and experience the community firsthand. If CEO Life isn't the right fit for you, for any reason, you get a 100% refund. No questions asked.
Why do I have to pay before attending an event?
CEO Life is a private community for members only. Events are designed for the people who've committed to being part of it, not for prospects. The 100% refund guarantee protects you if it's not a fit.
What if there's no chapter in my city?
We operate in 35+ cities and are expanding. Apply anyway and we'll let you know the closest active chapter and what's coming in your area.
Why is there an application?
Every applicant is personally reviewed before an invitation is extended. Small chapters and vetted members are how we protect the quality of every room.
How is this different from Vistage, YPO, or EO?
Those are peer advisory groups built around structured business meetings. CEO Life is a community built on three pillars: business, relationships and experiences, and giving back. Different product. Different outcome.
What happens at a live event?
Events range from intimate dinners to curated local experiences to national and international trips. Every event is designed to deepen relationships and create shared experiences worth remembering.
Who founded CEO Life?
John Seckel, a founder who built, scaled, and exited a 200-person, $35M company through the financial crisis. He built CEO Life around the life he wishes he'd had while building his business: real friends, present family, and rooms full of people he actually wanted to be around.
