Global Information Network
The Global Information Network (GIN), explained by someone fifteen years inside
A book on a Barnes & Noble display, a radio show, a cruise-ship promotion taken on faith — and the moment I stepped aboard and knew I was home. Here's what the club actually is.
The Global Information Network (GIN) is a private membership club founded by Kevin Trudeau. Members work through two courses — the Success Mastery Course and the Science of Personal Mastery Course — attend quarterly Major Events and monthly chapter meetings, and climb a set of levels, one through eight released today. A GIN membership costs $1,650 to join and $150 a month. I've been a member since the end of 2010.
I should tell you how I got here, because it explains what this club actually is better than any feature list.
A book on a center island
I was the kid who was good at math and found reading arduous — I only ever read a book because school made me. Then one day I was cutting through the Barnes & Noble at Towson Circle, in the Baltimore County suburbs where I grew up, because it was the fastest way down to the lower lot by Trader Joe's where I'd parked. Down the escalator, left toward the door — and on a center-island display sat stacks of Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About. Something in me lit up. I impulse-bought it, took it home, and read it cover to cover, the first time in my life I'd ever done that with a book I chose.
It changed how I saw food and, honestly, life. Its case — that regulators were suppressing natural health approaches and that organic food was dramatically better for you — sent me to a naturopath, into acupuncture and detoxes and organic eating, years before any of that was fashionable. I'd argue that book had more to do with the organic food and biohacking worlds we live in now than most people will ever realize. But it wasn't only health. It was about understanding how the machinery of government actually works, and it hinted, even then, that your mind had a much bigger hand in your life than you'd been told. That was my introduction to Kevin Trudeau.
The radio show, the cruise, and knowing I was home
Years later Kevin launched The Kevin Trudeau Show, and I listened constantly. That's where I first heard about GIN — members calling in, talking with him on air. Then a cruise came up, with a promotion: join GIN and you're on the ship. There wasn't much material inside GIN yet in those days; joining was a genuine leap of faith. I took it, at full price. And the moment I stepped onto that cruise ship, I knew I was home. The energy of the people, the sheer glee of being there — I'd never encountered anything like it. That's how I knew, with total certainty, that I'd found the thing for me.
One detail that surprises people: I didn't get to Your Wish Is Your Command until I was already a full member. It wasn't circulating anywhere I could reach. YWYC was the first piece of my level one training — which tells you exactly where it sits in the architecture.
What the Global Information Network actually is
A private membership club, founded by Kevin, built around the training he says came to him through The Brotherhood — and that training starts with YWYC. Membership gets you two courses, done concurrently. The Success Mastery Course is the audio training for levels one through five; from level six up, it becomes in-person, experiential training. The Science of Personal Mastery Course is a written course you work through at your own pace, with assignments and drills. Around them: quarterly Major Events, local chapter meetings all over the world (and virtual chapters if there's none near you), and the part I'd argue matters most — a fraternity, a family-like environment of people you can genuinely trust, especially at the higher levels, who support you and your dreams and counteract the naysayers in your life who don't want you to succeed.

The levels
The early levels are training-heavy: the Success Mastery audio and the Science of Personal Mastery written work. The higher levels turn into in-person Success Mastery training that is intensive and transformational — and that's as far as I can describe it, because the rest is for members. I lay out the structure in the levels article, and the entry numbers in the cost article: $1,650 to join, $150 a month, cancel anytime. Everything a GIN membership includes is on its own page. Whether it's worth it gets its own honest answer. The short version I'd give a friend: if it feels right, join and make it to at least one Major Event. That will tell you everything.
Start here.
Step one: Your Wish Is Your Command. The fourteen-session training the whole club is built on is free to register for — and if you want it on your shelf, the expanded ~500-page edition is in print.
Step two: join GIN. A GIN membership is $1,650 today ($1,500 initiation plus the first month's $150), then $150 a month, cancel anytime. Ninety processes included free, a quarterly Major Event ticket, both mastery courses, and the community I've built fifteen years around.
