Beyond the Villa: Highlights from the 2026 Samui Cross Border Mastermind

Our fifth Cross Border Mastermind in Samui has officially wrapped, and it was a powerful 4-day, 3-night experience of immense value. This year, we raised the bar once again.

We were joined by top experts Ali Grey and Tomer Rabinovich, who helped guide the sessions alongside 10 brilliant 7-, 8-, and 9-figure e-commerce sellers. The energy was incredible as everyone openly shared their brands, wins, challenges, and even failures, fostering an environment of profound collective growth.

This vlog from Mike's blog captures some of the event's highlights (with all sensitive session content removed, of course): Epic Samui Cross Border Mastermind 2026.

A Meeting of E-Commerce Titans

We stayed in a stunning 10-bedroom villa built seamlessly into the natural landscape, complete with two infinity pools that provided the perfect backdrop for our sessions.

Our schedule was crafted for connection and deep work. We kicked off each day with opening sessions, followed by morning learning blocks and afternoon hot-seat critiques. The experience extended beyond the boardroom with a full day on a private yacht, where we explored breathtaking islands and even fed wild pigs.

While the luxury setting, yacht, and amazing food were unforgettable, the true value was in the connections. The willingness of top Amazon FBA, TikTok Shop, and Shopify sellers to be vulnerable and share intimately created a uniquely supportive and growth-oriented atmosphere.

New Tools and What's Next

This year, we also launched a brand-new web application for our attendees. Log in at mastermind.gfavip.com to access session recordings, attendee details, accountability tools, and more.

We are already looking ahead. Here’s what’s next for the Cross Border community:

  • Next Cross Border Mastermind: Pattaya, Thailand in mid-to-late July 2026.

  • 8th Annual Cross Border Summit: Chiang Mai, Thailand from November 3–6, 2026. The theme is “Take Off,” which perfectly captures the momentum in our community and the industry.

We hope to see you at an upcoming event!
