Be Challenged. Be Supported.
The Badass CEO Group is a free, invitation-only LinkedIn community for CEOs who are done with comfortable conversations.
30+ members. Real challenges. Unfiltered perspectives on growth, leadership, marketing, AI, and the things CEOs don't usually say out loud. No vendors. No pitches. No fluff.
Apply to Join — It's FreeA peer group for CEOs who want to be challenged, not just validated.
Most CEO communities are built around one of two things: networking (which often means sales pitches disguised as conversations) or mutual validation (which feels good and changes nothing). The Badass CEO Group is built around a different premise — that the most valuable thing a peer can do is push back.
This is a LinkedIn group, which means it lives where CEOs already spend time. There's no new platform to learn, no app to download, no subscription fee. Philippe reviews every application personally and approves members who are genuinely committed to growth — not those who are looking for a lead source or a comfort zone.
If you're a CEO who wants to be around other CEOs who are building something real, asking hard questions, and actually doing the work — this is for you.
A few rules that make this worth being in.
The rules exist to protect the quality of the conversations. Every member agreed to them when they joined.
CEOs only
Founders, presidents, and managing directors of companies they actually run. Not consultants, coaches, or vendors who work with CEOs. The peer dynamic only works when everyone in the room has the same job.
No pitching
You cannot promote your services, products, or business inside the group. Not directly, not subtly. The moment the group becomes a sales channel, the conversations become worthless. This is enforced.
Real talk only
The group exists for honest questions and direct answers — not for thought leadership posts or personal brand building. If you're here to look smart, you're in the wrong group.
Invitation and application only
Every member is vetted before joining. Philippe reviews every application personally. The group stays small and high-quality by design — not everyone who applies gets in.
You'll fit here if this sounds familiar.
The CEOs in this group are running companies between $2M and $50M in revenue. They're dealing with real growth challenges — not theoretical ones. They have strong opinions, are willing to be wrong, and actually show up in the conversation.
- You're actively working on growth and want peers who understand what that actually involves
- You're navigating AI, generational shifts, or marketing decisions and want unfiltered input
- You're tired of CEO communities where everyone is careful and nothing honest gets said
- You want to be challenged by people who have earned the right to challenge you
- You're willing to contribute as much as you take from the conversations
If you want a group where everyone agrees with you, this is the wrong group.
