Corporate broke the promise.
Build your own.
The Crew is where independent professionals land clients, build referral partnerships, and stop figuring it out alone — with Kirk in the room every week.
Where are you right now?
Everyone arrives here differently. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Laid off, restructured, or just done. You need a real path forward.
Still employed. Building the bridge while you have the paycheck.
Pipeline runs dry between clients. You need a system, not luck.
Curious about the independent path. No pressure, just answers.
Built for executives who refuse
to start over at the bottom.
Corporate Refugees
Executives who’ve been pushed out, laid off, or restructured. You’re not broken—the system is.
Golden Handcuffs
Still employed but planning your exit. Building the bridge while you have the paycheck.
Early Independents
You’ve landed 1–2 clients but the pipeline runs dry between. You need a system, not luck.
Stop figuring it out alone.
The Crew is the peer community for independent professionals building practices worth owning. Weekly calls with Kirk. Slack with people who get it. First Mate CRM to track your pipeline.
