The Educated Collective
A group coaching program designed for the academic creators and public intellectuals looking to take their careers to the next level and unlock professional and financial freedom by developing a lucrative side-hustle or full on business venture. This program is for the true academic creator-entrepreneurs who want to build something to last which centers community, education, and sustainability.
This isn’t just a business mastermind. It is a strategic container for Scholars looking to continue growing their brand with the accountability, support, and tools to turn that presence into a consulting service or business.
I'll teach you to build an academic creator businessin under 10 hours per week
Academia may be in a state of crisis, but you don’t have to be (if you have a brand).
Academic tenure and a career at a university was once the dream many scholars aspired to. It spelled stability, a pension, and a reliable salary which could support owning a home and supporting one’s family. Now, this is no longer the reality. Therefore, we scholars are seeking an alternative, or at the minimum a side hustle, which offers the financial freedom and stability we desire. That alternative is taking your knowledge, expertise, and teaching ability to build not just an online brand but a business which is built to last.

The collectiveHow it works
Group Coaching is all about progressing on your goals and building momentum as a Collective.
-
All new members of the Collective go through a rigorous survey process when they join in order to establish a thorough base-line. These surveys are carefully reviewed by our team and within a week of joining, you will jump on a 1:1 coaching call with Kaelyn to discuss your personalized roadmap with clear actions for the upcoming 3 months (broken down into weekly actions).
-
Group Coaching calls are not just Q+A sessions with Kaelyn. Instead, these are opportunities to connect with other Collective members, go over your progress, discuss any challenges, and celebrate each little win! You will walk away from each call with clear goals for the following week and the energy to take action!
-
Participate in weekly group accountability sessions to help you gain and maintain momentum on your content strategy and complete your assignment for the week. Each Scholar is held accountable to their goals.
-
Quarterly Audits and the corresponding reports are all about tracking the progress that’s been made and identify what is working, what isn’t, and what we might want to experiment in the upcoming quarter. You will leave this call with a tangible written report which you can keep for your own records, in addition to clear next steps for the next 3 months.
-
Shared with your Coach, your Notion Dashboard is where you will keep track of your content, manage your marketing funnels, outline email sequences and more. This is a dedicated business development hub which you can use and update over time. This is also where you will find your Onboarding Survey, your Quarterly Audit Reports, and notes from our bi-wekly calls.
-
As a Collective member you will access the complete library of Accelerator Lesson Recordings on Personal Branding, as well as further lessons on Business Operations, Marketing, and Social Media Growth.
This is a resource which is not available to anyone but those signed up to the Collective and cannot be purchased separately at this time.
Client stories
Are You Ready?
An intensive, cohort-based group coaching program designed for academics and educational professionals looking to move beyond audience-building and convert their expertise into diversified, sustainable income. This program teaches you how to build, maintain, and scale online communities into paid memberships, services, and paid speaking engagements — turning your intellectual property (IP) into assets you control.
What you get
Monthly lecture series: Live, expert-led sessions that cover the essential pillars of building and scaling a knowledge-based business:
Monthly live audit + office hours: Each month, a cohort member’s platform, funnel, or offer is audited live. The whole group participates — observing strategic choices, offering feedback, and learning concrete fixes and growth tactics from a real example.
Bi-weekly coworking sessions: Structured, focused sessions to implement lessons in real time. Use them to write copy, set up funnels, record webinars, or batch content — with peer accountability and facilitator guidance.
Cohort community: A focused, supportive peer group for accountability, collaboration, and cross-promotion. Access to shared resources, frameworks, and templates you can adapt immediately.
What you’ll achieve
Convert followers into paying members and clients through clear funnels and offers.
Launch and scale paid memberships that generate recurring revenue.
Package and license your IP into workshops, courses, and services you own.
Land and negotiate paid speaking opportunities that build reputation and revenue.
Build repeatable systems for audience growth, monetization, and time management so your work is sustainable alongside academic responsibilities.
Format & commitment
Intensive cohort format with scheduled live sessions (monthly lecture, monthly audit + office hours, bi-weekly coworking).
Active participation expected: regular attendance, implementation between sessions, and contribution to peer feedback.
Materials and templates provided; recordings available for participants.
