Vegan Mainstream is a free community for vegan business owners, a network of like-minded people to bounce off ideas with.
For free, you can join a Slack group full of other entrepreneurs starting or growing their own vegan businesses. To access a network of like-minded people is very powerful because it allows you to learn from others' experiences, and find motivation by sharing your wins. The free community includes an accountability program, as well as member spotlights (interview opportunity to get exposure for your business) and weekly challenges.
On the other hand, you can access several free resources to improve your business. Vegan Mainstream offers two free podcasts, guides, articles, and two hubs of curated content that teaches technology and social media for vegan business owners.

Additionally, you can participate in live events. There are weekly webinars and live streams that provide entrepreneurs with a weekly dose of ideas and inspiration for their businesses. You can also watch past webinars on-demand. Moreover, there are monthly workshops dedicated to providing high-level training on a specific topic. Each workshop costs $37 and includes a Q&A session afterward.
Besides live events, Vegan Mainstream also offers three paid courses ($147 each), coaching opportunities, and one-on-one consulting sessions. Lastly, you can pay a subscription-based pass that unlocks all paid educational content and give you access to an exclusive community of other students in Vegan Mainstream's own platform. It costs $197 every three months, $347 every six months, or $597 yearly.

"I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Redcross to help me with a variety of my business needs. It's quite amazing how many areas of expertise Stephanie has — and not just on the surface. She was able to help me with questions I had about overall business strategies, as well as marketing, online courses, email campaigns, and event organizing. But more than her technical skills, Stephanie blows me away when it comes to how present she is, how well she listens, how well she understands. Her follow-up is incredible, her professionalism is impeccable, and her compassion is authentic. I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough." -Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
