Welcome to LeanMind

A private network for experienced leaders, founders, creators helping you stop your drift and reclaim agency, clarity, simplicity and joy.

We do this by going slow, diving deep and getting Lean, in mind and spirit.

Here, you will:

  • Feel clearer and calmer — inside and out

  • Interrupt the drift and take ownership of what comes next

  • Let go of roles, behaviours, and definitions of success that no longer fit

  • Reconnect with meaning, agency, and direction — waking up to wisdom as you do

  • Build a personal blueprint for a more aligned next chapter

  • Manage difficult people and situations with calm and clarity

  • Rediscover lost joy (like Raiders of the Lost Ark, but better)

What To Expect.

It’s the kind of shift Stuart Green, Director at Google, describes:

“I came in feeling flat, conscious I might only have 20 years of impact left. Ben revealed blockers I couldn’t see and helped me find new joy in my work — energised, clear, and excited for the road ahead.”

This is not about speed or surface change. It’s about slowing down enough to go deeper — cutting away the excess, refining what matters, and emerging lean in thought, spirit, and action.

Who It's For?

LeanMind is for the curious, reflective, emotionally intelligent leader, partner and / or parent.

You’re not broken — but something feels… off. Like you’ve outgrown the script.

Quietly, you’re asking:

* "Am I wasting the best years of my life doing the wrong work?"

* "If I stop, will it all unravel?"

* "Why doesn’t this feel as good as it looks from the outside?"

* "What do I actually want now?”

If this you, have a deeper read here.

Or, arrange a call with Ben, fouding teacher and guide, to get a feel for the tools and teaching and see if we’re a fit.

Our ‘Work’ Together

A course meets a club.

Learning our deep change framework, we’ll follow a rolling curriculum, a steady cadence, meeting twice a month over a year or more, spiraling wisdom. Three core semesters over the year:

Roots

Unearth what’s unfinished. Revisit what you’ve left behind. Notice what still excites you — and what’s time to release.

Rhythm

Reclaim your time with intention. Inject a little sacred pause into your days, weeks, and seasons.

Ritual

Anchor it all with simple, repeatable rituals - tools helping you focus, think clearer, and manage complicated people (kids included!), growing new work, relationships and joy as you do.

Supported by a private WhatsApp community and invitations to Q&A talks with inspiring teachers and peripheral thinkers - from Zen monks to AI wizards, and much in between. A organic veg box for your mind.

Join

LeanMind is a reset.
Slow. Deep. Lean.
A return to your steady roots, chosen rhythm, and life‑giving rituals.

Apply to join. This is a small, private network, capped at Dunbar’s 150. If you’re ready to slow down, go deep, and get lean — apply to join here.

First things first, a call with Ben, our founding teacher to see if we’re a fit.

Stop The Drift.

.... and reclaim what’s next.

As John White, Managing Partner at Arketyp VC Fund, puts it:

“Ben occupies a rare middle ground where mindfulness and deep entrepreneurial experience meet. Working together, I slowed down to greater clarity, deeper self‑awareness, better prioritisation, and stronger belief — growing the new fund, born of a deep personal motivation, in the process.”
