The Costa Rica Takeover is a private mastermind for a small group of carefully selected entrepreneurs, taking place October 28th–November 1st, 2026, in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Hosted by Lusitanos Elite Club, the event features guest sessions from Marius, Temple Naylor, Jace England, and one surprise guest speaker. It’s built around a private oceanview villa, direct 1-on-1 access to 8 and 9-figure entrepreneurs, honest business conversations, and real relationships between founders.
This is not a public conference, a large networking event, or a day of sitting through generic presentations. It’s a small, carefully curated group designed for depth, participation, and results.
This isn’t another course or another mentorship. It’s five days away from day-to-day operations, in a room with the biggest names in the space, the kind of environment where one conversation has completely changed the trajectory of someone’s business, like it has at every previous Takeover.
Most founders don’t need more information. They need space away from operations, direct access to people who are already making significantly more than them, and the systems and frameworks that got those people there. That’s what this room is built for.
No specific outcome can be guaranteed. What we can guarantee is the room, the speakers, and an environment carefully built to make that outcome far more likely, while you build the kind of friendships and memories that last far longer than five days.
The Costa Rica Takeover takes place on fixed dates, October 28th to November 1st, confirmed for accepted members. If the event feels relevant but you have a potential conflict, we’d still recommend applying rather than ruling yourself out before you even know if you’re accepted.
The call will walk you through exactly what this room looks like and help you decide if it’s worth prioritizing. Founders who end up in that villa are the ones who rearrange their schedule for the things that actually move the needle. That said, only accept your spot if you’re genuinely prepared to show up and follow through. This isn’t the kind of room where half-showing-up serves you or the group.
Costa Rica will include a select group of founders. Invite-only, not open registration. You’ll have guys doing multiple five figures a month sitting next to guys doing millions a month, across sales, agencies, consulting, SaaS, AI, real estate, info products, and growth operators. Applications are reviewed on what you’re building, your current level of execution, why you want to be there, and whether you’re someone who shows up and contributes, not just watches.
The goal was never to fill the villa. Above revenue, above title, character is the most important thing we screen for. This is a room of guys who are serious about their business, their growth, and each other, the same standard that’s turned every Takeover before this one into real partnerships and lifelong friendships. Some attendee names may be shared as the event gets closer; others may choose to stay private.
No. This is built around access and participation, not sitting in rows watching slides. You’ll get 1-on-1 sessions with 8 and 9-figure entrepreneurs, group mastermind discussions where the room solves your actual bottlenecks, and curated introductions to the right people for your business: the same room, the same conversations, that have led to real partnerships in every Takeover before this one.
It’s also a full experience, not just a business event. Private chef, full-time personal trainer, private oceanview villa, yacht day, jet skis, ATVs through the jungle, a hike to one of the best waterfalls in the world, and cigar nights that go past 2am. Our full-time content team captures the entire thing, podcasts, YouTube, everything, so you leave with content for your own personal brand on top of everything else.
The room is kept small on purpose, so the access is real, not theoretical. You should show up ready to participate, put your own business on the table, and actually live the five days, not just watch them happen.
Every founder’s experience will be different, but at our Takeovers we make it our job to give every single participant a 10 out of 10 experience. That starts before you even land, because we already know what you’re looking for, friendship-wise, knowledge-wise, and experience-wise, and we build the room around that.
How much you get out of it depends on how committed you are. If you show up ready to build real friendships, live the crazy experiences, and be vulnerable enough to put your actual struggles on the table, you’ll get those problems solved, in the room, by the people who’ve already solved them. We had guys walk away from our Miami mastermind, 50 entrepreneurs in the room, with $200k in partnerships from a single deal made there. You’ll leave with a level of clarity that changes how you operate, how you think, how you make decisions, because you’re surrounded by people making significantly more than you, in the exact same industry, going through the exact same problems.
It’s impossible to leave this Takeover without making more money, building real friendships, and having the wildest adventure of your year. And I put my whole soul into every single one of these, personally, because the goal isn’t just a great five days. It’s you coming back to every Lusitanos Elite Club Takeover after this one.
Because who’s in the room is the whole point. Costa Rica isn’t an open-ticket event where anyone can buy a seat. The application and the call exist so we can understand who you are, what you’re building, why you want to be there, what you’re looking to get out of it, and whether you’re the right fit for this specific room.
The call isn’t a generic info session or a pitch. If there’s alignment, we’ll walk you through the details, answer your questions, and give you the chance to secure your spot. Submitting an application doesn’t guarantee acceptance. This room is built on who’s in it, not how many seats we fill.
Applying is the first step, not a commitment to attend. However, the private call is intended for founders who are seriously considering Costa Rica and are willing to make a clear decision once they understand the opportunity. The dates are fixed and the room is limited.
If you are only looking for general information with no intention of attending, it is better not to apply. If you believe the room could be valuable and need clarity before deciding, that is exactly what the call is designed to provide.
