The Educated Accelerator

Working with Kaelyn has been an absolute game-changer for my YouTube channel's strategy and growth. Her advice is remarkable for its simplicity and actionability. She doesn't just offer abstract ideas; she listens to my goals for the channels and delivers a clear, step-by-step roadmap for YouTube growth that I could implement immediately. This made the entire process feel manageable and highly effective, not overwhelming.

I enrolled in Cohort 1 of the Accelerator and began working with Kaelyn 1:1 as a private coaching client because I wanted to learn how to translate my story of sobriety and academia onto social media. I considered myself a technaphobe before working the Kaelyn but with her clearn and thorough guidance and the DBA modules, I gained the confidence to become a content creator. I started with 3K followers and have reached over 17K in just 4 months [and 100K+ in 8 months]!

I had worked with Kaelyn 1:1 for coaching previously when I was launching an online community for the first time and she was fantastic. I knew that I would benefit from the insight she’d provide on branding for public intellectuals via The Accelerator and the supportive community that would come along with it, especially since keeping up with social media has always felt like the hardest part of thought leadership for me. Because of the accelerator, I posted consistently, challenged myself to try new social media approaches, and felt less alone as an academic founder trying to create change via entrepreneurship. I also learned a lot about the various platforms to help me settle on the channels that felt right for me. I’m thrilled that I was part of the inaugural cohort. Whether you’re an academic with an established business or someone just getting started, I highly recommend Kaelyn for advancing something meaningful in community with others who care about the power of online education for all. 

Kaelyn is that rare combination of scholar, entrepreneur, and creator with years of experience in all three, and she offers something truly unique to scholars seeking to find more agency and visibility for their work as public intellectuals. Most creator incubators didn't feel like a great fit for me, because they don't treat our scholarship and educational expertise as the star of the show. I'm so glad I held out until I found Kaelyn's course. She understands what scholars have to offer in today's digital-first world, and how they're super well equipped to translate those skills online--not only to reach viewers, but to run businesses. She's helping launch a new generation of scholars who are empowered to share university-level education directly with a public excited for accessible continued learning.
