Quick note: Starting in February, enrollment will only be open for one week each month — the first week of the month. If you'd like to join us while enrollment is closed, we encourage you to still apply! If your application is approved, you'll gain access the following month.
Why join the Crew?
Over the years, we've met many creatives who have had unrewarding experiences with coaches. And let’s be honest: 1-on-1 coaching can be a serious financial investment, especially when you’re first starting out. We've also noticed that, while cohorts and programs can be successful, their impact diminishes substantially once creatives graduate. All of a sudden, they’re left without any ongoing support, back to feeling lost without anyone to guide them.
That's why we created The Crew—so that every creative professional has a chance to get the support they need at a price point that’s actually do-able.
If you’d like to hear more, book in a chat and we’ll give you the rundown.
Value
