What is The Conspiracy?
The Conspiracy is an online, private, subscription community of generous and ambitious humans unlocking their best selves while doing their best work.
You bring a dream, goal, or project and we provide the community, rhythm, and resources to support your ongoing progress, learning, and growth.
How does it work?
1 | Join Our Online Community
When you become a Conspirator, you become part of an international community of people who are committed to consistent, purposeful action towards their goals.
Your fellow Conspirators care about the person you’re becoming, the challenges you’re facing, and want to support you in bringing your visions into reality.
You can go as deep as you want with one-on-ones, small accountability groups, large group events, requests for support or collaboration … this is a generous and open crowd and we provide many pathways for connection.
“It’s amazing to have found this group where we feel accepted and able to open up about our challenges and ambitions.”
Angela,
Entrepreneur & Pharmacist
“Everyone I’ve met is so genuine. People show up as their real selves here.”
Jason,
Writer, Coach & Founder
“When other people talk about their goals, challenges, and approaches, I better understand my own.”
Anil,
Software Architecture & Engineering Manager
2 | Get Into The Rhythm of Real Progress
When you join The Conspiracy, you learn our structured process for breaking your project down into manageable actions that we tackle alongside each other in 6-week sprints (or jogs or strolls, you choose your pace).
Between these stretches of momentum, we have 2-week periods of reflection, where you master how to integrate the learning from the last six weeks and clarify your focus for the next. Progress and growth are baked into your journey, and the rhythm protects you from getting stuck or moving too far in the “wrong” direction.
“In the past, when I’ve come across a challenge, I’ve lost the focus.”
Joellen,
Learning Consultant & Author
“The structure is what I fell in love with.”
Benjamin,
Learning Strategist
“Every week I am present to my project and I am going in leaps and bounds!”
Rennea,
Filmmaker & Community Designer
3 | Resources That Fuel Your Success
Inside The Conspiracy you get access to a comprehensive suite of tools and resources – tailored to help you overcome any challenge and regularly updated to meet your evolving needs.
Whether you’re looking for accountability, connection and support, thought partners, specific feedback or help, coaching, additional training, co-working sessions … we have it all. Plus there are the ever-changing member-organized experiences like book clubs, masterminds, and meet-ups.
“I got great tools with lots of practical tips, and forged new meaningful relationships that helped me move ahead.”
Simone,
NGO Founder & Writer
“I leave every co-working session feeling accomplished and energized for the rest of my day.”
Mark,
Coach & Writer

Meet Your Hosts
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 in April, August, and December (for May, September, and January onboarding, respectively). 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?
That’s an interesting question. You can wait until the next onboarding, but if you’re truly curious, I would read on for our other suggestions … You can join and spend the first part of your time in the community figuring out your yeses and nos so that you create the time. Or you can decide now to make the time, 1-2 hours per week, for whatever matters most to you. Lots of people use the tools inside The Conspiracy to accelerate or deepen their existing personal or work commitments. This doesn’t have to be an add-on to an already busy life! The Conspiracy can be a support for that.
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. Lots of people arrive thinking they know what they’re going to work on, and it changes – so you will be in good company.
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, or share, 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?
The short answer is: The minimum commitment to The Conspiracy is one year. When your 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 first-year fees will be charged unless you sign up for ongoing membership.
When you first sign up for The Conspiracy, 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. You will have until January 12th to request a refund.
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.
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. We have equity-based pricing for folks for whom cost or cash flow is a barrier. You can apply for that here.
What's your refund policy?
You have until January 12th 2026 to cancel your membership and request a refund until January 12, 2026.
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. ~5 weeks 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, cash flow, or exchange rate is a barrier. You can find the form by clicking here. If we are able to offer you an equity-based spot, we will send you a custom link for processing payment.
How is this different from your books?
Books are fabulous (said the author) … but they’re mostly solo journeys. The Conspiracy is different from anything I’ve ever created.
Here, you don’t just learn. You belong. You become part of a community of humans who are committed to consistent, purposeful action. They’ll nudge you when you wobble, and they care about your ambitions, your struggles, and the person you’re becoming.
And that kind of support, you won’t find it in any book.
I'm not hugely flexible when it comes to time. Will this still work for me?
Time feels scarce, we know. But The Conspiracy isn’t another ‘12 modules in 12 weeks’ course that gathers digital dust.
Our vibe is more pick-and-choose, try-it-out, and come-when-you-can, with enough accountability to keep you moving forward.
And because we’re a global community:
- Events with Michael are recorded.
- Message boards and DMs are asynchronous.
- Small accountability groups and meet-ups happen whenever it works for those involved.
Our live co-working sessions (our most popular attraction) happen around the clock. We average ~75 sessions per month, and typically have 3-10 people in each. Intimate, reliable, welcoming spaces.
I am a coach. Is The Conspiracy for me?
The Conspiracy is for anyone wanting to do more of the work that matters to them. Simply put.
Yes, we have plenty of coaches — from fresh-faced beginners to 30-year veterans. In fact, coaches make up the majority of our membership.
But we are also authors, entrepreneurs, religious leaders, retirees, and everything in between. The Conspiracy is a glorious mishmash of brilliant minds doing brilliant things.
Whether you’re a coach, looking to become a coach or want to be coached by Michael … this is the only place where you can regularly put your name forward for that — and access a library of recordings of him coaching others.
For many of our coaching members, these real-life demonstrations are worth the price of admission and an incredible compliment to any coaching certification or ongoing professional development.
Is The Conspiracy really worth the price?
If you sign up and then let it sit on your to-do list, no, it won’t be worth it.
But if you commit to using even a small fraction of what’s on offer, then absolutely yes.
The coworking alone is worth the price. The library of exclusive trainings and coaching demos is worth the price. The quality of human beings and human interactions is worth the price.
The tactical support using the discussion boards, accountability groups, and the opportunity to get coached by Michael is worth every penny and then some.
If we’re talking dollars and cents … it’s a one-year commitment that works out to $3.28/day.
And, if cost or cash flow is a barrier for you, we have equity-based spots, so price isn’t the reason you say no. Apply for equity-based pricing here.
Plus, if you join The Conspiracy and you decide it’s not for you, you have until January 12th to request a full refund.
