💬 High-Level Insights: Remote Teams and the Trust Tradeoff

In a recent DC BLACK WhatsApp thread, where 7-figure founders bounce ideas off each other 24/7, someone raised a concern that many remote entrepreneurs are now seeing:

What happens when remote team members secretly take on multiple full-time jobs?

One member called them “ronin”: drifting, gig-hopping contractors with no loyalty to any one business.

Another noticed a team member hadn’t followed up after a missed paycheck, possibly a sign they’d already checked out.

Some members leaned on time-tracking tools to regain visibility. Others pushed back, sharing how micromanagement drives away top talent.

The core tension? 👉 How do you lead with trust while still protecting your business?

These are the kinds of nuanced, high-stakes conversations happening daily in DC BLACK. Here’s how you can have these conversations too:

🇪🇸 DC BLACK Barcelona: Schedule Sneak Peek

This July, DC BLACK is heading back to Barcelona for private masterminds, rooftop dinners, and candid convos that don’t happen in big rooms.

DC BLACK gives you a direct line to 120+ vetted founders who are already operating at a high level. Smaller events like Barcelona are the best places to form meaningful connections with these founders.

This is a room where everyone is running a 7-figure+ business, asking hard questions, digging deep, and sharing tactical strategies for business growth.

While we’re still finalizing the details of the schedule, here’s what we’ve got planned so far:

Monday, July 28

→ For folks who arrive early, we’ll have outdoor pre-event activities to explore the city.

Tuesday, July 29

→ It’s the first official day of the event, and the theme is Discovery. We’ll participate in an Outdoor Escape Room activity, led by a Game Master in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona.

→ After a quick siesta, we’ll get together for an evening rooftop dinner… with a “whodunnit” twist. We’ll hand out badges and swag, and get the conversations going. You’ll also receive some pre-work for the workshops ahead.

Wednesday, July 30

→ Based on the responses to your pre-work, we’ll spend the day digging deeper into your current challenges and opportunities in both business and personal life. We’ll break out into smaller mastermind groups for intimate and productive conversations.

→ In the evening we’ll have a high-energy activity, along the lines of activities we’ve had at past events like competitive cooking classes (DC BLACK Phuket) and electric shuffleboard (DC BLACK NYC).

Thursday, July 31

→ On the theme of Reflections, we’ll tie up any loose ends from our conversations the previous day and map out next steps to keep the momentum going once we’re back home.

→ A special guest will join us for part of the day to share insights and offer advice.

→ We’ll close the event with a private tapas bar party, at a venue rented out just for our group.

We’re capping the event at 35 attendees and 26 spots are already taken. Our venue also let us know rooms are filling up.

Want to attend the event? Get on a short, free call with the team to see if DC BLACK is the right fit.

🧠 DC BLACK Masterminds: New Groups Begin in July

DC BLACK isn’t just about events. Another way we connect is through monthly, virtual facilitated masterminds.

You’ll be matched with 5-7 founders running serious businesses and aligned with you in stage, energy, and mindset. Some have sold companies, hired A-players, and opened up entirely new markets as a result of these calls.

Most of the groups stick together for the long haul. In fact, 12 out of the 14 groups this year have chosen to stay together for the second half of the year.

As we do every summer, we’re in the process of adding new mastermind groups and making small tweaks to the current ones. This is the best time for new members to join as we all start fresh together.

Joining DC BLACK now means you’ll start with your group in July and potentially meet some of them in person at the Barcelona event.

Here’s your summer timeline for DC BLACK:

→ June 18: Final day to join and be matched to a mastermind group
→ June 23: Mastermind groups announced
→ July 7-20: First mastermind sessions begin
→ July 29-31: Meet in person at DC BLACK Barcelona
