“I had an impossible goal for me that I thought was a good ‘test’. Plus, I’m not really a ‘community’ person, so I thought the community wouldn’t really matter. I ended up achieving the goal in half the time I thought it would take, and what helped me the most was the supportive group that I was meeting with.”

How does it work?

1

COMMUNITY

Here, you don’t travel alone — when you become a Conspirator, you become part of a community of people who are all working towards being the best versions of ourselves and working towards a Worthy Goal that will leave the world a little better than when we found it.

Leslie Watts

“The Conspiracy is the best investment I’ve made in a long time. With the help of supportive members in my Chapter group and the community gatherings, I’m making more progress toward my Worthy Goal (with more fun!) than I ever imagined. I consistently uncover insights on how to solve the biggest problems I’m facing. The Conspiracy has made a huge difference in my work and life.”

STRUCTURE + SYSTEM

How do you eat a whole elephant? One bite at a time. In The Conspiracy, we show you how to break your Worthy Goal down into bite-sized pieces so that you don’t get lost or overwhelmed by the size of the task ahead. You’ll make progress on pieces of your Worthy Goal in two-month Chapters; a six-week period of momentum (doing the work) followed by a two-week period of reset (celebration, reflection, and gearing up for the next Chapter.)

Joellen Killion

“The sustained focus on one area, one Worthy Goal, one aspect of it, really helped me dig deeply and make some big discoveries and I am truly grateful for that. In the past, when I’ve come across a challenge, I’ve lost the focus.”

ACCOUNTABILITY

YOU get to choose which types of accountability you’d like to take advantage of in The Conspiracy: you can join an accountability group called a Chapter Group, share your goals and progress in the larger community events and boards, commit to attending or hosting co-working sessions, show up for coaching with Michael, and so much more.

The Conspiracy with MBS - Accountability Small Groups

“It’s incredibly powerful to be part of an international community where accountability is expected and enjoyed. The accountability and the cultural mix of peoples projects and ideas has meant the ways we’ve influenced each other have been profound.”

TOOLS + RESOURCES

You begin your journey with a one-time, two-week, onboarding program where you receive the tools (worksheets, resources, trainings, etc) that you’ll need for making progress on your Worthy Goal and being a great community member. Exclusive new trainings to support you, and the community as a whole, are added every single month!

“The Conspiracy is really allowing me to test my ideas and get different perspectives. We are a group of people that are part of the same journey. When other people talk about their goals, challenges, and situations, I learn about how I can apply that to my own.”

“I would recommend The Conspiracy to anybody who has one of these folders or a dream in their head that they’re saying once I get time to do this, I’ll do it. The Conspiracy will make you have time to do it.”

Meet Your Hosts

MBS - The Conspiracy

Hi, I'm MBS

I’m just slightly famous enough that occasionally people say, “I’d like to be like MBS”; the subtext is often “… but I can’t be.” That’s true on one level because, like all of us, I’m my own little snowflake. But the successes I’ve had (the wins you might know about, and the failures you don’t) isn’t due simply to inherent qualities I have. Success has come because I’ve built tools, created structure, and found support.

I did my first “self help” course about thirty years ago, and since then I’ve been figuring out how to create the place where you can be ambitious for yourself and ambitious for the world. 

The Conspiracy is the culmination of my thirty years of “figuring it out” — my experience of being coached and coaching, of being in a mastermind group for 15 years, and of successfully managing the slippery resistance that I, too, feel when taking on a Worthy Goal. 

It’s the best of what I know about how to find and define a Worthy Goal, to create momentum, and to find the best people with whom to travel. I’m best known for my work around coaching, but the warp and the wheft of my life is about helping people be a force for change. I’m very proud of what The Conspiracy will help create in the world.

Ainsley - The Conspiracy

And I'm Ainsley

I’ve been gathering and shaping community for most of my life, always knowing that we weren’t meant to do this alone. My professional background is in the world of nonprofits where I spent over a decade designing and leading advocacy, community building, and learning and leadership projects.

I love bringing people together for experiences that resource them and support them in resourcing each other. Iterating The Conspiracy into a learning experience and community that nourishes our connections, our bravest ideas, and our world is MY Worthy Goal. It’s all very meta and thrilling and important and daunting. I’m grateful and excited for what The Conspiracy already is and what it can continue to become.

“Everyone I’ve met is so genuine. There’s no bluster, no grandstanding, no agenda-pushing. The folks here are curious. They don’t just have space for others who are different from them: they want people to thrive in the directions that are best for them.”

FAQs

Q: Why is it called The Conspiracy?

A: 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. Ours is a community made up of Conspirators conspiring to build a better world. In other words, The Conspiracy is a conspiracy you can be excited to be a part of 😉

Q: Will you be running this again? I don’t have time right now.

A: Yes — we open The Conspiracy 2-3 times / year. After April 2024, we will next open our doors in August 2024. 
Just remember: Life is always going to be busy—YOU need to decide when you’re going to make time for your dreams, because you’ll never “have” time for them.

Q: My Worthy Goal isn’t 100% fleshed out — can I still join?

A: Yes! You’re more than welcome to enter into The Conspiracy and use your time to fine-tune your Worthy Goal. In fact, members have come in with one Worthy Goal and discovered another one that they want to focus on instead. What can I say… we’re a group of dreamers!

Q: How do I know if my Worthy Goal is… ‘worthy enough’ for The Conspiracy?

A: If there’s something in your heart that you need to share with the world, we want to support you while you figure out exactly how to do that. 

Q: How much time do I need to dedicate to The Conspiracy each week?

A: You’re encouraged to spend 1-2 hours per week inside The Conspiracy — onboarding, accountability calls (“Chapter meetings”,  if you choose to join a “Chapter group”) and community discussions and events. Some people spend less and some people spend more. The amount of time you want to spend on top of that is completely up to you and will depend on the Worthy Goal you’re working towards. We’ve had Conspirators spend 1 hour a week moving towards the finish line, and others that have gone all in at 20 hours a week. 

Q: Can I cancel my membership?

A: You can cancel at any time and no further payments will be processed. You will maintain access to the community until the end of the time you have paid for (four months or twelve).

Q: What is your refund policy?

A: Due to the digital nature of The Conspiracy onboarding course, you have 72 hours from the day you get access to request a refund. After that, your payment becomes non-refundable. If The Conspiracy is not for you, you can cancel anytime and you will not be charged at the next payment date.

Q: Do you offer scholarships or equity-based pricing?

A: We are committed to equity and accessibility and have a track for those who cannot access The Conspiracy unless payments are spread out or for whom cost is a barrier. You can access and fill out the form HERE

Q: How much access to Michael do I get?

A: Michael leads a live Zoom event once per month that is part teaching, part Q&A, and part hot seat coaching. The onboarding course contains a series of exclusive training videos from Michael and his language and philosophies are woven throughout the community content and design. The Conspiracy also contains a library of exclusive recorded trainings and coaching sessions with Michael. Michael is active on the discussion boards and working the same tools as the members. Most of your interactions will be with other Conspirators and our Director of Community, Ainsley.

From the mouths of Conspirators:

So … are you ready to take the leap, believe in yourself, and give your Worthy Goal the best chance at making it over the finish line? 

You have nothing to lose by trying … 

But you have everything to gain.
