IS THIS THE RIGHT STUFF FOR ME?

Most people who complete our Operation MMindShift Stage 1 cohort leave with the groundwork for a new side hustle, venture, or passion project—but figuring out how to test it can be a real challenge. And as we’ve learned from launching multiple successful startups over the past three decades, trying to go it alone can be hard as hell.

Here’s who will benefit most from this cohort extension:

You’ve got a great side hustle, venture concept, or passion project idea, but aren’t sure how to get rolling or are delaying taking action
You’ve mapped out your idea, but the thought of actually doing it scares the crap out of you
You really, really like the dudes you met in stage 1, and know that working alongside your MoltBuddys will increase your odds of success

WHAT YOU’LL GET

Pilot Test Manual + Template: A mini business plan to outline the problem, define your audience, craft a solution, and develop a low-risk test model for your concept.

Intensified Group Sessions: 8 hours of face time with your coach and past cohorts over Zoom. Swearing continued.

Two 1-to-1 Private Sessions: Meet with auGi, MM’s Founder, during critical checkpoints in your journey.

Network with Seasoned Creatives: Continue to collaborate and build relationships with your MoltBuddys and special guests.

Accountability Loop: Unlike self-guided courses, our ecosystem of creative veterans, MoltBuddys, and access to the MoltMaster™ community keeps you inspired, on task, and rapidly moving towards your launch.

Bionic Donuts: Oh, you think we just do this shit without mind carbs? Hello!
