Running a business can feel isolating without peers who understand the weight of leadership. Madison Harris, founder of Cobalt Fund Services, found the peer guidance he needed through Purpose Factory. He gained strategic insight and real feedback from seasoned entrepreneurs at a time when his business needed clarity and structure.

Harris realized Cobalt wasn’t reaching its full potential after four years in business. A session with the group revealed a major gap: the company had no way to track time or evaluate client profitability. That insight led to a meaningful change. He introduced a time management system that transformed how the business measured value, workload, and performance across its client base. The shift marked a turning point in Cobalt’s operations, shaped directly by the peer guidance, support, and accountability he found at Purpose Factory.
