## FAQ

### Who is this for?
Working professionals (finance, software, fitness, plants, watches — any niche) who already have expertise people ask them about, but have never started posting.

### Do I need an existing audience?
No. Most cohort members start from scratch. The cohort begins with niche-finding.

### What does "first paid brand deal guaranteed" mean?
Every session and template is built around landing your first paid brand deal. The structure is designed for that single outcome from week one.

### Is the $20 founding deposit refundable?
No. It locks your founding seat and is deducted from the $495 enrollment price. If you choose not to enroll when the cohort opens, the $20 is not refunded.

### What if I miss a live session?
All live calls are recorded and available to enrolled members.

### When does it start?
Founding Cohort 01 — exact start date is announced to founding members first. Public launch expected July–August 2026.

### How is this different from a typical online course?
It's live, not pre-recorded. You'll have Arshman in the room twice a week. Most online courses sit unwatched in a login — the cohort format makes that harder by design.
