Ignite · Founding Cohort · 2027

Bring your work into the world — with clarity, support, and people beside you.

Ignite is a 12-week group experience for independent creators and practitioners moving from vision or existing work toward a clearer offer, stronger digital presence, launch, visibility, and momentum.

Ignite comes first. The Co. is what may continue afterward.

Who this is for

For the ones building something real.

Ignite is designed for independent creators and practitioners across disciplines who want structure, support, and connection around the work they're bringing into the world.

  • Independent artists and creative practitioners
  • Healers, teachers, facilitators, and guides
  • Founders and solopreneurs
  • People with an early idea
  • People with something partially developed
  • People with work already built that needs funding readiness, partnerships, visibility, launch support, audience, traction, or growth
  • People who are tired of building alone and want real support and connection
What changes

The shifts you can expect.

Outcomes over methods. Here's what participants can move toward during the cohort.

Clarify the vision

Find the strongest, truest direction inside the work you're already carrying.

Shape or strengthen the offer

Move from scattered ideas to a clear, resonant offering people can say yes to.

Build or improve the digital home

A site, a page, a portfolio — a home online that reflects what you actually do.

Use technology and AI creatively

Practical, human-centered use of new tools without losing your voice or center.

Prepare to launch or relaunch

Structure, sequencing, and support around the moment you bring it into the world.

Build visibility and momentum

Audience, partnerships, positioning, and reach — with people beside you.

Learn to ask for and receive support

Move from lone effort into a rhythm of real feedback, referrals, and reciprocity.

Move from isolated to connected

A cohort of peers who see the work, hold you accountable, and celebrate the wins.

What's included

Group energy. Private depth.

Ignite pairs the momentum of a cohort with individual attention — so you're never a face in a crowd, and never building alone.

Why me

More than two decades of seeing what's possible.

My work spans hospitality, music, media, experiential marketing, technology, wellness, events, community, and mission-driven organizations — more than twenty years of building, launching, and connecting across sectors.

What I bring to Ignite is gifted pattern recognition, relational intelligence, creative direction, systems thinking, and a wide cross-sector network. I see what's possible in your work, identify what's missing, and help accelerate the vision through strategy, creativity, connection, visibility, systems, and experience.

You bring the work. I bring perspective, momentum, and the room to hold it in.

Ignite → The Co.

The cohort. Then the collective.

First — Ignite

The focused cohort and shared launch journey.

Twelve weeks of clarity, structure, private and group support, creative direction, and a co-launch moment with peers beside you.

After — The Co.

The continuing virtual home.

Community, connection, collaboration, co-creation, and coherence. Shared learning, requests and offers, opportunities, and member-created experiences. We are Co.

Participating in Ignite doesn't automatically obligate you to join The Co. After the cohort, you may apply for the level of Co. participation that fits you. Multiple levels will be introduced separately.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is this only for brand-new ideas?

No. Ignite is for people at any stage — an early idea, something partially built, or work already in the world that needs a clearer offer, launch support, visibility, or momentum.

Do I need to be technical?

No. I'll help you use technology and AI creatively and practically. You don't need to be a developer, designer, or marketer.

Is this therapy or a certification?

No. Ignite is a group coaching, co-working, and creative-direction experience focused on bringing your work into clearer form and into the world.

Is Ignite required before The Co.?

For this first pathway, yes — Ignite is the entry experience before applying for The Co. After Ignite, you may apply for the level of Co. participation that fits you.

Is payment collected now?

No. This is an application. Investment and payment options will be shared with you before enrollment.

What happens after I apply?

I review every application personally and follow up with cohort fit, timing, investment, and next steps.
