The next live room

Wednesday, September 17

6:00 PM PT / 9:00 PM ET

Bring one ask. Every room opens the same way. Your name, what you’re building, and what you need to move it forward. Ninety seconds each. Come with the ask already sharp and the room can actually help you.

The archive

Every room, on the record.

Miss one and you miss nothing. The replay and a short recap of what was asked and what moved land here within 48 hours.

The roster

Who’s in the room.

The research is blunt about this. Your next opportunity is far more likely to come from an acquaintance than a close friend. So read the asks. If you can move one of them, say so.

How this room works

Four things we do on repeat.

Features don’t connect people. Habits do. These run every month whether the calendar is busy or not.

Monthly

Weak Tie Wednesday

You get paired with the member you have the least in common with. One 20 minute call, two questions, done. This is the whole thesis of the company in a single conversation, and it is where the surprising stuff comes from.

Monthly

The Ceiling Question

One prompt goes out to everybody. What’s the one door you can’t open by yourself right now? One line each. Then the room answers with names. Most introductions start here.

Anytime

Two Degrees

Ask us for an introduction to anyone in the roster, or to anyone in the wider network of 3,000 plus creative leaders. We make the intro properly, with context, so it actually lands.

Every win

Moved Forward

When something happens because of this room, we post it. A client, a collaborator, a job, a yes. It keeps everyone honest about whether this is working, and it shows new members what is actually possible here.

Moved forward

What happened because of this room.

    The board

    Open opportunities.

    Gigs, grants, calls, briefs and budgets that partners and members bring to the Circle first. Refreshed as they arrive.

    Your ask

    Put yourself on the roster.

    Two sentences. What you’re building, and what you need to move it forward. That is the whole thing. Vague asks get sympathy. Specific asks get introductions.

    Your ask goes on the roster so other members can act on it. Change it any time by sending this form again.

    You’re on the roster.

    Your ask goes up before the next room, and everyone in the Circle will see it. If someone can move it, they will come to you.

    Two Degrees

    Ask us for an introduction.

    Name who you want to meet, or describe the kind of person. We’ll look across the roster and the wider network and make the intro with real context.

    On it.

    We’ll come back to you within a few days, either with the intro or with the reason it isn’t the right one yet.

    Moved forward

    Something happened. Tell us.

    A client, a collaborator, a job, a yes, a door that opened. If the room had anything to do with it, it belongs on the wall. Small ones count.

    Noted, and congratulations.

    It goes on the wall before the next room.
