No! This offer is open to any entrepreneur who wants to use their business as a catalyst for social change. That said, it’s worth noting that Emily’s areas of expertise are in the space of personal development, coaching, speaking, and growing a serviced-based business online. However, Melinda also has an investor-backed product based business that is blazing a new trail for ethical luxury! (AKA we are modelling what you’ll be learning inside The Hive)

Generally, Emily’s Q&A calls will take place on a Saturday at 10am EST and Melinda’s will be a Wednesday or Thursday at 7 or 7:30pm EST.

Community calls will be recorded and stored in your membership portal AND you’ll have the opportunity to submit Q’s ahead of the calls to ensure we get to your burning question(s).

We strongly recommend and ask for a 3 month minimum commitment to get the most fulsome experience and begin to see the collective impact. We hope you’ll stay longer, but understand if you don’t. FYI by joining now, you lock in the celebratory intro rate at $67/month, even once it rises to $97/month on May 1st.

Between calls, you can access the community portal (hosted in Kajabi, which we’re actually really digging) at any time where you will find not only call replays and resources but circle chats! There’s a general chat (sorta like a Facebook “wall” you can post to) and a chat to store up your Q’s for Emily re: business and a chat to store Qs for Melinda re: impact. There’s also a chat to pitch ideas on, rally around and vote for our hive’s “cause of the month”.

Nope! It’s done-for-you impactful contribution that will vary each month depending on what cause our hive chooses to support. We’ve built this into your membership fee, so Melinda and I will be donating (and uploading receipts into a shared portal you can access) 10% of the membership fees collected at the start of every month. For example, on May 1, we will make donations for April’s cause of the month and share the receipts with you and keep tabs on the impact we’re making together. Should you wish to donate more from your own growing business, you’re encouraged to!

No, Melinda and I will be making the monthly donation on your behalf (and many of the causes we’ll be supporting might not necessarily offer tax receipts anyway). However, this membership is a business expense! Be sure to expense the entire investment when you do your tax write offs. Should you choose to give above and beyond and give an additional amount to the organization or cause, you can request a tax receipt directly from the organization/initiative.

Spend as little or as much time as you’d like in The Hive! If you were to attend both calls each month, that’s just 2 hours per month and 90 mins max of bonus content that is optional to consume. Spend as much time as you’d like popping into The Hive circle chats and BEE on the lookout for future potential bonus networking or co-working hours, which will also be totally optional.
