Client Approval, Creative Business Growth — Monday Live at 5pm Eastern
"Do you see a someone skilled in their work? They will work for kings, not unimportant people."
-Proverbs 22:29
The new course is live, on how to align stakeholders and get approval is live.
First, take the course.
If you haven't already, the new methodology course is up in the classroom now. This is the work I've spent years refining at DARKSQUARE — the process that took us from burning around $50K per project on reworks down to under $10K, and that's helped clients see real revenue impact after launch (one rebrand: a 33% sales lift in the 12 months post-relaunch). The full method — stakeholder discovery through Pinterest sourcing through moodboard validation through the presentation that closes the brief in the meeting — is all there.
Block 90 minutes between now and Monday and watch it through. You don't need to memorize it, but the conversation on Monday lands harder when the lessons are fresh.
T
hen come Monday.
Once a every new and full moon, we get on a call — live, open, no script — for support, collaboration, and creativity around the work. This first one rises with the course launch, and there's a reason it's timed that way.
Why come.
The methodology in the course is the result of years of refinement. But the way it gets sharper from here is conversation — with the people running it on their own projects, with their own clients, hitting their own obstacles. Every time I run this for a new audience I learn something. A client situation I hadn't seen. A friction point that needs a better answer. A use case that opens a door I hadn't walked through. That's how the next course gets built.
You get a direct seat at that table.
You also get something most creative work doesn't offer: a room full of people who think this way. Most of us are running alone, on our own clients, with our own deadlines, fielding our own moments of am I the only one seeing this? A live, open conversation with thoughtful creatives who care about doing this well — and who are willing to share what's working and ask what isn't — is rare. The full moon is the right time for it.
What we'll do.
- Walk through questions members have already dropped under the lessons (there are good ones in there)
- Open the floor for whatever you're stuck on — client situations, moodboard problems, prompts that aren't surfacing what you wanted, presentations that aren't landing
- Workshop a real project together if someone brings one (volunteers welcome, no pressure)
- Talk about what comes next, and what should be in the next course based on what you tell me
The bottom line.
If you watched the course and you want client approval faster, less friction with the people on your projects, and meaningfully better results from your creative business — this is where the conversation around it lives. The lessons are the method. The gathering is how you get sharp at it.
The details.
- When: Monday, June 1, 5:00 pm Eastern
- Where: Live in the Skool community — link posted that day, no separate registration
- Bring: A project you're wrestling with, a question that didn't land in the comments, or just yourself
If you can't get all the way through the course before Monday — come anyway. Listening is one of the fastest ways to internalize the method, and most of the questions you'd have are ones someone else will surface. But do try to take it. The conversation on Monday is sharper for everyone when you walk in with your own questions, drawn from your own watching, ready to put on the table.
This is support, collaboration, and creativity in the same room. The point is to leave with better answers than you came in with — about your work, your clients, and how to do this in a way that actually pays off, for them and for you.
See you Monday.
