It's never been easier to start as a creator.
But being a professional creator is a different story.
Professional creators approach their work more methodically.
Professional creators don't just focus on attention – they focus on getting a Return On Attention.
Professional creators experiment and take action based on results – they're scientists as much as they are artists.

No one succeeds alone. You will go a lot farther and move a lot faster when you work with others.
This is one of the biggest benefits of a community – we can all lift each other up.
Whether you create real friends or deal friends, as we each succeed, we each become an even more powerful force for one another.

Why I built The Lab
Hey, Jay here.
The Lab is where I invest the majority of my own time (outside of creating new content).
I had a hard time finding peers. Most creators were several steps behind me, and then there were the HUGE creators ahead of me…but where were the creators at my level?
The Lab has become that peer group. Creators in The Lab generate $29,977/mo on average.
This is a place for professional creators to share notes and grow together. The space changes so quickly that this has to be a membership to be useful.
It's the most active community I've been a part of – but even if you can't check in every day, my goal is to provide a handful of insights each year that make this well worth the investment.
Inside The Lab, I’ll support you through:
Active participation
I'm extremely active in the forum and in direct messages.

Do you remember high school sports?
I ran track in high school and played football – there was a LOT of training involved in both.
The great thing about organized sports is that you have a coach. You have teammates. And your coach and your teammates all not only hold you accountable, but push you to go beyond your comfort zone and reach your potential.
Working alone, we often lack the discipline to push ourselves.
Whether you want to publish more frequently, improve the quality of your work, or both – The Lab provides the accountability and push you need to achieve your potential and leverage the best of your abilities.
“I crossed a lot of thresholds in July that are getting me excited about what the future holds:
Crossed 20k followers on Linkedin
Crossed 3k newsletter subs (+1000 in July - best month ever)
Closed a sponsorship deal that pushed my creator business into 5-figures for 2023.
Extremely thankful for the motivation and curiosity of this community. When I joined in February, I had made $0 with my creator business and hadn’t quite hit 1k newsletter subs yet.
Onward!”

Meet your new peer group
Meet your new peer group
I'm obsessed with peer groups of historical figures. Did you know that the founders of Apple, Google, and Oracle were all friends?
Even a lot of the creators you look up to today have their own small groups of peers who all push one another.
Not only to achieve their best, but they even amplify the work of their friends!
Creators without a community are playing on hard mode.
This community works together to not only push each other to grow and improve, but we amplify each others work as well.

Online communities are great, but something is missing. That’s why The Lab goes beyond the screen.
We believe that the best relationships happen in person, which is why we host exclusive, member-only IRL experiences to deepen connections and accelerate growth.
Our members don’t just chat online – they meet, collaborate, and build real relationships. Whether it's over dinner, inside small-group masterminds, or at focused workshops, these events are designed to create meaningful, high-impact connections that last.
Because the best conversations don’t happen in email.

Think of The Lab as a shared knowledge hub.
Every move we make for our businesses is motivated by a hypothesis and a desired outcome – imagine if we all shared those assumptions and goals with each other!
That's the goal of the Experiments space.
The best way we can help each other grow faster is by running hundreds of simultaneous experiments and sharing the results.

Honest feedback from me and other creators
Feedback is a gift. Especially when it comes from mentors and peers who truly understand what you're trying to achieve.
The feedback you receive inside The Lab is high-quality, honest, and empathetic. It's important that we are real and direct with one another, but we also deliver tough feedback with kindness.
Each week, I host an open Office Hours session for you to receive feedback from me directly. And several times per month, I also open up my calendar to Hot Seats, which are recorded 1:1 coaching conversations right inside the community.

At the start of each month, I record and share an in-depth video with a transparent look at my own business performance.
These videos are not meant to brag – but to model what it looks like to set goals, measure progress, and make difficult decisions based on the numbers.
You'll see my Revenue, Expenses, Goal Successes (and failures), lessons learned, and the decisions I'm making because of them.
And if you have questions based on the video, we can discuss them right inside the forum!

There's a lot going on inside The Lab – so much so, that sometimes, it may feel hard to "keep up."
So we created a private, members-only podcast feed with audio-only versions of all of our recorded sessions. You can listen to our group Q&As, Retros, Member Hot Seats, and more at whatever playback speed you like.
We also personally curate a Weekly Digest with the best topics from the week.
Stay in the loop and listen in from anywhere!

The Lab is centered on relationships. But it can be intimidating to "go first" and reach out to someone to say hello.
So we utilize a software tool that helps curate 1:1 member introductions each month. If you'd like to meet another Labmate hand-selected for you based on your business and interests, you simply need to opt in.

I build beloved communities
I build beloved communities
My community-building journey began in 2012 when I organized my first Startup Weekend event. I organized about a dozen IRL Startup Weekend events before I began building my first online community, Unreal Collective.
Unreal Collective grew to 110+ members across the world before it was acquired by Pat Flynn and SPI in 2020.
For the following year, I led the Community Experience team at SPI – developing our membership community, course community, and cohort-based courses.
I bring all that experience and more to The Lab, which I'm determined to make one of the best communities on the internet. And if you're building your own membership community, I'll share all my secrets!

"But what if I don't have much time?"
Every member of The Lab is busy. Every single one of us.
The Lab is designed to be a resource, not a task.
Of course, if you spend time leveraging the resources (Workshops, Hot Seats, Sprints, etc.) you will get the most out of it. But if you simply use The Lab as a place to get inspiration, bust through roadblocks, or solicit feedback on sales copy, you're going to get a lot out of it.
Most members tell me within weeks of joining that they've already gotten their money's worth.
You don't have to dedicate hours per week to The Lab. My goal is to deliver a few high-value insights per year that makes the membership pay for itself.
...but I bet you'll choose to spend more time inside than you think.
