"CBC’s combine community, accountability, urgency, vulnerability and peer-learning to deliver something exceedingly unique and powerful: transformation."

Since I've got the momentum and writing process all dialed in, I might as well continue. I'm still shipping and will also join the next cohort as an "alumni captain" to support all new shippers. If you want to join me, use this link to get $20 off (next cohort starts on March 22nd).
