I am and it is for re for weight dollars, it is free. And no we are there's no bait and switch here guys, this is a completely free community, Emily and I have transitioned we're entering a season of impact, we've always wanted to do impact, but we're going for more volume impact. And this is the vehicle we have chosen to bring it through. And so while it is free, you do as Emily was just mentioning need to apply. And we want to make sure there's still an application. So it's not just anyone who joins, right we want to make sure it's a really safe and still curated place for coaches of all levels to come together. So free, but you must apply.
Emily Merrell 06:38
Yes. And I would like to also add like squares that community hosted
Lexie Smith 06:44
on a platform called circle, which some of you guys might be familiar with. Some of you guys might be like, Oh my god, another platform. I can't keep up. Fair to Shay. But let me tell you this, Emily and I not only Emily having her own community, but both of us are have been in are in so many different of all the different platforms mighty network, Facebook group slack that we have seen, we truly truly feel that circle is the most simple, easy to use, best place to be. So that's why we're there.
Emily Merrell 07:18
And, and to piggyback off of that, too, let's circle you'll be able to watch replays. So if you're not able to make sessions live, you'll be able to have a vast event replay library, you'll be able to see people's faces like there's very there's a lot more humaneness and connection and the opportunity to message people one on one. So this is not just a US outward to you this is you also been able to engage and connect and communicate with other members of the community. There are going
Lexie Smith 07:52
to be PR opportunities, lead gen opportunities, and then stuff not related to business at all. Just to fill our cup we have little support groups that we're going to be hosting for side hustlers for working moms for specific types of coaches. We have shout outs referrals. It this is a selling friendly community but with tastes right so you're not going to log in and the way it's formatted, you're not going to be bombarded but this isn't one of those. I feel like this has been a huge problem with Facebook groups is so many have taken away the ability to promote and we are pro selling we all as coaches we need to make money. So not only are we going to be talking about the non VIP stuff, we're also going to this is also a platform for you to grow monetarily.
Emily Merrell 08:38
Exactly. So as we mentioned at the start of this episode, the mini so this PR so I don't know what we're calling y'all, this is short and sweet. And we are so excited to see you support you hold space for you within this community. So again, you can get the application where Alexei
