my name is Andrew bear and I was a member of the original cohort of unreal collective I'm on a Hetzel conversion copywriter and brand strategist my name is Helene Angeles and I'm a partner with calypso and co-founder the nonprofit lead Network my name is Brian Thomas I've been entrepreneur from Columbus Ohio my name is Jenny Cole I'm from plumbing to New Jersey and I'm a graphic designer and photographer and founder of anytime creative I'm Travis Smith from Columbus Ohio and I'm the founder and CEO of tribe West [Music] you know I have all the same as any other entrepreneur and one of those things has always been focus and knowing the right directions to go basically I wanted to come into a program that allowed me to interact with others keep myself accountable and ask myself the right questions what should I be doing I've always worked a nine-to-five job and before I started unreal I never had the confidence to quit that job and start my own adventure I was seeking a supportive community and and before unreal I had looked for that those types of resources and that type of community and it was hard to find I had set myself goals okay financially this is where I want to be by the end of the first quarter and then second quarter and then third quarter and I hit my August goal in March I think that pretty much sums it up it got me in a group where I became very comfortable with people I felt like my voice was heard and I got a lot of good responses from outside views that I would never had during the original 12 weeks I think I got three or four wedding gates which was for me a lot and since then because I got those original clients I've gotten actually so many clients that I've had to start saying no to people you know everybody's passionate about their project and like all things anything worthwhile is difficult it's hard and takes a ton of effort and because we all have that in common I think there's just an awesome respect for one another most of them were about my sons and daughters age so there was a real diversity of opinion and I think we we were able to really identify some of the unique propositions that each of us had and support each other through this I have yet to meet someone I don't like in unreal everyone is driven passionate and not just solely focus on their own project they understand that this is a collective that yes their project is awesome but all of our projects succeed and when we help each other I would say there's there's really nothing else that I've seen like it that it's it's a way to level up your project no matter what stage of your project you write if you're thinking about joining just do it honestly you won't regret it having the support of others is going to be more beneficial than any other online course you'll ever take I would say to someone Wow you are joining not just your immediate virtual group but a network of people that could help you in your endeavors if you're trying to start launch grow take your project to the next level you will get a huge amount of value from unreal and I would just say do it do it
