Tell us what you want to get better at
We open a pod when four people want the same thing. Tell us yours and we'll let you know when it's live.

One pod. Five seats.
How it works
Back a pod. Sit down. Show up.
Back a pod
Request an example pod for free. Once dates are confirmed, back it with credits: it opens when four people back it. Credit packs are paid for at checkout; backing holds credits until the pod opens — or they come straight back.
Meet weekly on Zoom
Sixty minutes on Zoom with five members and one host — for one session or a run of up to six weeks. The host sets the length.
Recapped to your inbox and your pod's chat
Notes and actions land in your inbox and your pod's chat. Recording, transcript and AI recap are provided only with everyone's consent.
For hosts
Everyone is an expert
to someone.
Illustrative host earnings: £43.75–£131.25 per session. We fill the seats, recap every meeting, and pay out weekly.
Estimates use the Starter pack (£12.50 per credit), five paying members and a 70% share. Actual payouts use each member's average paid credit price; free credits count as £0.
FAQ
Straight answers.
Can we stay in touch after the pod ends?+
Yes. Your pod chat, for members and the host only, stays open after the last session, and nobody ever has to share a phone number. Mute, report or leave whenever you like.
When is Pod 01 running?+
Saturdays, 8:00pm UK. Start date: TBC — new dates coming soon. Requesting a seat is free and puts you on the list. When dates are confirmed, we'll ask you to back the pod with credits. Pod 01 is £25 for 2 credits (1 credit a session, Peer tier) at Starter-pack pricing when booking reopens.
Why five members and one host?+
Small enough that no one hides, large enough for real range. Six voices is where a conversation stops being a lecture and starts being a room.
What happens when a run ends?+
You keep going privately with the same group, join a new pod, or step away. Each run has a clear ending; nothing renews automatically.
How are hosts chosen?+
Hosts are vetted individually and slotted into one of three tiers — Peer, Pro, or Expert. We check track record, temperament, and their willingness to host a small room with care.
What does a seat cost?+
Seats are paid in credits: Peer 1 a session, Pro 2, Expert 3. Pod 01: £25 for 2 credits (1 credit a session, Peer tier), at Starter-pack pricing. Packs: 2 for £25 (£12.50 per credit), 6 for £69 (£11.50) or 12 for £129 (£10.75), VAT included. Credit packs are paid for at checkout. Backing puts credits on hold; they are spent when the pod opens. Booking an already-open pod spends credits immediately. Purchased credits never expire, and unused ones can be refunded in cash from your wallet.
What if the pod doesn't run?+
A pod's page shows its backing threshold and deadline. If it misses that deadline, all held credits return automatically. If an open pod is cancelled, credits return to your wallet and you can request cash back.
