“We go from ‘I’m gonna do’ to ‘I just did.’”
Create by Chapter is a small, intentional community of people who are building something and want to be around others doing the same. We meet, we hold each other accountable, we celebrate wins, and we show up for the process — not just the outcome. Chicago in-person and online — same club, same activity menu, same accountability.
Small by design. Chicago in-person, 25 members max. Online, 150 members max. Small enough that everyone knows everyone.
Welcome video coming soon.
I started this club because I missed being a best friend. Not just having one — being one. Choosing to show up for someone’s life on purpose, knowing their goals, celebrating their wins, being the person in the trench next to them. That kind of investment is mutual. It fills you up as much as it fills them up — and I think that part gets forgotten sometimes. I didn’t think I was the only one missing it.

If you have just been invited to Create by Chapter, this is where you start. Fill this out so we know who you are and what you are building.
This is not an application. It is an introduction.
"What chapter of your life do you feel like you are currently in?"
Goes directly to [email protected]. We follow up personally.
Head to #what-im-building on Discord and paste this intro so members know you're here and what you're working on:
Loading your intro...
Your personal workbook for the current cycle. Everything saves automatically to your profile.
3–5 specific actions you will complete this week. Check them off as you go.
Write your summary. This gets archived to your profile permanently — your record of what you built.
Your accountability circle is a small group of members working on things adjacent to yours. Check in with each other between gatherings — share your weekly score, your wins, your stuck points. Not a mentorship, not a coaching relationship. Just people in the trench next to you.
Type a member’s name to find them. Circles work best at 2–4 people.
Read the guidelines first — they tell you what the room expects. Then sign the pledge when you’re ready.
Be respectful, kind, and genuinely invested in the people in this room. Healthy disagreement is welcome. Disrespect is not. What is shared within the club stays within the club — if you want to share something outside the group, get permission from everyone involved first. This space only works if everyone protects it.
This is a doing community. Show up, engage, and contribute to the energy of the room. You don’t have to have it all figured out but you should be moving forward in some way. Not everyone who connects with Create by Chapter needs to be a member. Membership gives you fuller access to the community, the check-ins, and everything in the member hub. There is no pressure either way.
A valid passport is a requirement for membership — Chicago and Online chapters. If you do not currently have one, you have six months from your join date to obtain it. This is not a suggestion. The world should always be an option.
Members are welcome to bring guests to the monthly hangout gathering. Check-in meetings are members only — no exceptions. This protects the trust and intimacy of those conversations.
By signing the pledge below you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the guidelines above.
I believe in myself — not because everything is figured out, but because I am still here, still trying, and that means something.
I will pursue the life I said I wanted. Not one day. Now. In the chapters I am in, with what I have, from where I am.
I will show up — for my own goals and for the people in this room. Not perfectly. But honestly.
I will celebrate myself when I win and give myself grace when I don’t. Both are part of the process.
I will pour into the people around me the way I want them to pour into me — with genuine investment, real attention, and the kind of care that doesn’t need anything back.
I will not shrink to make progress feel more comfortable. I will not perform growth I haven’t done. I will be real about where I am and brave about where I’m going.
I am not waiting to be ready. I am building while I figure it out.
This is my chapter. I am writing it on purpose.

Projects are saved permanently via Netlify Blobs. They persist across sessions for all members.
This club is shaped by the people in it. Suggest an activity, a media pick, or a topic you want to dig into. Everything gets read — nothing goes into a void.
Suggestions go directly to the founder. Not every suggestion makes it into the programming but every one gets read. The club is what we make it together.
A record of every month we’ve had together. The books, films, albums, activities — and what actually happened at the gatherings.
