The forest fire smoke is starting to clear here in San Francisco (yea!) I’m happy to move into a new season packed with opportunities to fuel your curiosity. Which ones will you cozy up to next?

Fall cohort dates and discounts

This series runs October 11th through November 18th. Register here, now, and save up to $400!

The growing community is close and powerful. The 33+ tools and templates continue to delight. And we’ve continuously iterated overtime. Enhancements for this cohort include:

• Pre-recorded training in lieu of some LIVE class time (allowing you to learn when convenient and review when desired)

• Shorter LIVE class times (that focus on the hands-on activities and provide greater flexibility)

• Additional pre-workshop support and preparation for All-In students

• 18 "office hours" for the All-Ins to attend as needed

• Consistent All-In cohort participation throughout the series (to mitigate disruption)

• Observer option to "audit" individual classes or the whole series (at a steep discount)

• All LIVE class are recorded and available to all students for the duration of the program

• Certificate of completion for boasting on social media and enhancing your resume

Here’s a peak at the workshop updates in development. If that link is broken, the updates are already live on the main workshop page and the discount is no longer available. So take advantage of the “pre-website update” sale and save up to $400. Register here.
