Another meeting includes weekly office hours for you to get feedback and support. These two meetings are available in both memberships.
However, the third meeting is exclusive to VIP members. It's a quarterly 1:1 in-depth call with Jay where members receive personalized and prioritized feedback and support.
To keep the interaction going among members, The Lab offers a members-only forum and a private real-time chat app. Both alternatives are great for you to connect with like-minded creators worldwide, build a strong network, and get peer support.
Members of the Lab have access to a "Community Swipe File", which is a growing repository of templates, ideas, and examples you can use as a base for your projects. Also, members can access past workshops.

"It was so fun and rewarding being in the Hot Seat. Jay was able to review our membership and gave me strategic direction that resulted in adding tiered options for our members and increasing our prices 3x". -Becky Pierson
