“I’m no longer alone. I’ve brought important work into clarity that might otherwise have stayed lifelong ‘someday’ projects. I’m inspired daily by the collective wisdom of the group.”
Join our online community of generous, brave humans
on the journey to their work that matters – and ready to support you on yours
Maybe you’ve already named where you want to put your energy next. Maybe you’re still trying to. Either way, you don’t need certainty to begin.
The Conspiracy is an online community of generous, brave humans who are doing work that matters—and helping each other do the same.
You bring your project, your best guess, or simply the feeling that there is something more, and we provide the rhythm, practical tools, and encouragement to help you keep finding forward.
How does THE CONSPIRACY HELP?
1 | Find Your Rhythm
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.
“Every week I am present to my project and I am going in leaps and bounds!”
Rennea,
Filmmaker & Community Designer
“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,

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. We’ll send you a bunch of free resources to get going, and you’ll be the first to know when we’re welcoming 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.
What if I don’t know exactly what I want to work on?
No problem. Bring your best guess. Lots of members arrive with curiosity rather than certainty. You’ll have the space, tools, and people to help you figure it out.
What if my project changes?
Good. We expect that. Progress isn’t about picking the perfect destination. It’s about learning, adjusting, and continuing to find your way forward.
How do I know if what I want to work on 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 each week?
That’s entirely up to you. 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, hosts co-working sessions, and organizes occasional in-person meet-ups. If you join our Go Deeper tier, there are regular opportunities to put your name forward to be coached by him.
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.
There is no perfect moment.
There is only the next step.
The Conspiracy isn’t built on having everything figured out. It’s built on showing up, staying curious, finding what matters most to you, and making moves towards it.
If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to welcome you.
