Put yourself in a room full of people doing cool sh*t 〰️
But there’s no rulebook, or blueprint.
Going it alone, pushing against everything society told you to do, trying to work it all out by yourself. It's a pretty lonely place to be sometimes.
So we’re gathering.
A global gang coming together to rewrite the rules on our own terms. We’re here to soak up real, lived experience that will actually help us get there; and gather some sweet connections that actually mean something

FAQs
-
If you're a solo founder, freelancer, or free soul building a life on your own terms, yes. Whether you're a designer, marketer, yoga instructor, sustainable brand founder, or something that doesn't have a clean title yet, what matters isn't what you do. It's how you're wired. Creative at heart, purpose-led, and done waiting for permission to build the life you actually want. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
-
Mainly, yes. Our main hub lives on Circle, with community connections happening on WhatsApp. But we're big believers that real magic happens in person, which is why we host local IRL meets around the world, led by local hosts who know their city and their people. Think of the online community as your home base, and the local meets as where the friendships actually begin.
-
Maybe, with your help. Our local meets are powered by local hosts who are passionate about gathering their community. If you're keen to bring The New Kind to your city and think you can pull a good group together, we'll back you to help it grow. Get in touch and let's talk.
-
Real conversation, honest advice, and peer-led support from people who are actually doing it. You'll find threads on building your business, living the free life, and everything in between. Plus opportunities, resources, and connections that go way beyond a LinkedIn request. No gurus. No fluff. Just people figuring it out together.
Honestly, we rely on you. Your experience, your insights from wherever you are in your journey is what powers the community. -
It’s completely free. We keep it accessible because we want the right people in the room, not just the ones who can afford a hefty membership fee.
We have some additional resources you can purchase, but all core community features are free. -
Honestly? This might be exactly the right time. The New Kind isn't just for people who've already made it work. It's for everyone on the journey, including the early, messy, exciting part. Some of the best conversations in our community come from people who are just starting out and asking the questions everyone else was too proud to ask.
