Meet Your Hosts

Michael Bungay Stanier

Hi, I’m Michael
AKA MBS.

The Conspiracy is the culmination of my thirty years of “figuring it out” — my experience of being coached and coaching, of being in mastermind groups, and of managing the slippery resistance that I, too, feel when taking on a big dream or goal (from spark of an idea to getting it over the finish line).

It’s the best of what I know about committing to something that matters, creating momentum, and finding the right people to travel with. It’s also the only place where you can be coached by me — and see how I coach others. I’m proud of what we’ve built, and I’d love to help you tackle the hard, important stuff you want to accomplish inside The Conspiracy.

Hey there, I’m
AINSLEY.

I’ve been gathering and shaping community for most of my life. Before this, I designed and led advocacy, community building, and education projects in the anti-violence, disability, and youth sectors. I love bringing people together for experiences that give them something real — and help them give something back to each other

Michael and I built the Conspiracy as an extension of the rhythm, tools, and practices we were using to do our own best work. It’s been a highlight of my career to host this incredible community and grow it into a space that nourishes our connections, our bravest ideas, and our world.

FAQs

Why is it called The Conspiracy?

The etymology of the word conspire is to breathe together. We are a community of people working alongside each other, breathing alongside each other, even if we are far apart ????

When can I sign up?

We open the Conspiracy three times a year usually in April, August, and November.  Doors stay open for just a short while — so if you’re curious, join the waitlist. That way, you’ll be the first to know when we’re ready to welcome new members.

What if I don’t have time right now?

We open The Conspiracy 2-3 times a year, usually in August, January, and April.  But if you’re waiting until you’re ready, you might be waiting forever. Starting before you feel ready is often how the real work begins. We can help you use the time you have now to make progress. 

My dream/goal/project isn’t 100% fleshed out — can I still join?

Yes! You’re more than welcome to join The Conspiracy and use the first part of your time here to fine-tune or clarify your goal. You will be gifted the How to Begin course when you join The Conspiracy (if you don’t already own it), which can help you with that. 

How do I know if my goal is a good fit for The Conspiracy?

If there’s something in your heart that you want to build, change, explore, accomplish, and/or share with the world, we want to support you while you figure out how to do that. If it’s important to you, it’s important to us. 

How much time do I need to dedicate to my goal each week?

That’s entirely up to you. If you join an accountability group, you will have weekly or bi-weekly meetings to attend. Otherwise, it’s all challenge-by-choice and self-directed. You can spend as little time as you like or work on your project full time! Most members are spending at least 1-2h/ week on their goals. 

How much access to Michael do I get?

Michael leads a live Zoom event once per month, is active on the discussion boards, is working the Chapter rhythm alongside the rest of us, and organizes occasional in-person meet-ups. There are regular opportunities to put your name forward to be coached by him. 

Can I cancel my membership?

We are a committed community and have learned that the magic happens when we are all similarly invested in working the process, doing the work, and committing to ourselves and our dreams! It’s easier to be brave and go all in when others around you are too. Therefore, the minimum commitment to The Conspiracy at this time is one year. 

You will choose between a one-time fee for a year’s access to The Conspiracy or 6 monthly installments for a year’s access to The Conspiracy. When you’re first year is nearing its end, we will reach out to offer you a discounted renewal rate for ongoing membership. No additional fees beyond the fees for the first year will be charged unless you sign up for them. 

How much does The Conspiracy cost?

It’s $1197 USD a year if you pay in full or $199.50 USD x 6 months. That gets you monthly live events, real community, and the structure to finally do the hard, important thing you’ve been meaning to do. It’s a serious investment — and it’s designed to help you make meaningful progress on what matters most.

What’s your refund policy?

You have ~14 days from your time of purchase to cancel your membership and request a refund (exact date for each cohort will be published here and in the check-outs when doors are open).

Our self-directed onboarding experience gives you a ton of information about the community; a chance to experience the platform and resources; and opportunities to meet other Conspirators. ~14 days gives you more than enough time to complete the onboarding and make sure The Conspiracy is for you. Check us out, do the onboarding, and if this isn’t for you, just let us know by the deadline and we’ll happily refund you. After the deadline, your payment becomes non-refundable (except, of course, in extenuating circumstances – if you find yourself in those, just reach out).

Do you offer scholarships or equity-based pricing?

We are committed to equity and accessibility and have a track for those for whom cost is a barrier. If we are able to offer you an equity-based spot, we will send you a custom link for processing payment. Deadlines and details in the form linked here when the doors are open.
