🏵 Did someone say Seth Godin x The Community Collective?

“Participating in this cohort for the fourth time has been a game-changer for me. The learnings resonate differently each time. I highly recommend repeating the program, even if you've done it once. You'll notice new insights and find value in concepts that might not have made sense before.”

- Marina Chelak, Program Coordinator @ Melbourne Accelerator Program, Cohort #1, #2, #3 & #4 CC’ian
