“The program is truly world class”

- Jon Yeo @ TEDx Melbourne | Cohort #8

Hey you,

Paz here 👋

After 10 years of dreaming, this dream is coming true! Speechless to launch our Community Cohort #9 ft. Priya Parker 🎉 

So how did this happen?!

If you don't know Priya, she wrote The Art of Gathering.

The book that changed how I think about bringing people together (and inspired the first gathering of The Community Collective - how meta is that!!).

She's an award-winning author, soon launching her new book: The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict, out September 2026. Pre-order here.

Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Ezra Klein Podcast, NPR, The Mel Robbins Podcast, among others.

And now?

She's joining us for a 90-minute LIVE interview in Cohort #9 🤯

Meet our first Cohort #9 Speaker Priya Parker…

If you're reading this, here's what we think is true about you.

You already know the world is changing. The old strategies don't work the way they used to. The environment has shifted: sales are harder, attention is scarcer, information overwhelms, and costs keep climbing. But you're likely still doing things the same way you always have.

When the world changes, you have to change with it. That's why you need a new-world strategy. One that stands the test of time, builds real relationships, and is actually a joy to run.

That strategy is community.

If you build community inside a company, you're tired of it being seen as the "events team" or a cost centre. You wear multiple hats. You know community drives retention and advocacy, but you struggle to put a number on it.

If you're a founder, you can feel there's another level: more customers, more loyalty, more reach. But every path you've seen looks the same: more ad spend, rising CAC, renting attention you never get to keep. You want customers who stay, refer, and buy again. You want a moat competitors can't copy.

That’s exactly what our Cohort #9 will help you achieve.

Here’s what you’re saying yes to:
🏵️ 90 minutes live with Priya Parker, plus speakers from Stripe, HubSpot, AWS and Canva
🏵️ A complete guide about how master AI, Agents and automations to set your community up to run without you (so you’re not a bottle neck)
🏵️ Our Community Operating System installed over 8 weeks
🏵️ A board-ready strategy and the numbers to prove itz
🏵️ 400+ alumni and a community you keep for life

Now listen to 60 seconds from Jon Yeo @ TEDx Melbourne about his cohort experience.

We can’t wait to read your application ✨

Until then,

Paz and The CC Team
