It's not an overstatement to say that @beondeck has changed the trajectory of my writing life. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but it's not.
If you want to start writing, hold yourself accountable to a regular writing practice, or level up your writing, don't hesitate.
Life after @beondeck is crazy good! The network is so powerful. @Auroreserete’s ODF cohort hasn’t even started yet and despite that she has helped me connect with 4 potential customers in completely new/different markets in record time. Thank you!
Midway through ODF & every time I attend a session or interact with the community I have the same excitement as Day 0. I wish all founder communities were like this.
I have never seen a community that translates the true essence of business & ideas beyond borders before @beondeck
Only 1 week into's First 50 Fellowship program and I am soooo totally blown away.
Can't wait to get at it tomorrow for week 2!
Join @beondeck for its 3Cs formula —> Community + Character + Culture
All of that is very practical, generosity of its members is real, serendipity is digital, connections are meaningful and all friendships are very humane!
This is best ‘Give First’ culture on the internet.
