You might recognise this

You’ve got more to offer than people currently see.

You do not need to be a “creator”, and you do not need to know exactly what you’re building yet. You might simply have a skill, idea, interest or project you care enough about to take seriously - and know you’re capable of more than you’re currently putting into the world.You do not need to be a ‘creator’ or know exactly what you’re building yet. You do need something you care enough about to practise - a skill, idea, project or body of work you’re willing to make visible, test and improve.

01 / CONTENT

You know you could be making stronger content, but you overthink what to post or struggle to turn what you know and care about into something people care about.You could be making stronger content.

04 / OPPORTUNITY

Doors open for people whose work can be seen.Paid work. Clients. Collaborations. Projects.

What it leads to

You don’t have to wait to be chosen.

Your work can travel before you do. Put something real where people can see it, and it can reach rooms you haven’t been invited into yet.

That’s the opportunity I want more people to see: getting better and making it visible can open doors that waiting never will.

What you’ll get better at

Build skills that open more doors.

Practical lessons you can put to work straight away - whether you’re creating online, building something of your own or trying to open up new opportunities.

Your first six weeks

Your first six weeks are mapped out.

The Founding 25 begin together on 7 October 2026. Each week you make something, then bring it into that week’s live Workroom for feedback. Nothing here is watch-only.The Founding 25 begin together on 7 October 2026. Each week you learn something practical, use it on real work, then take that work into the live Workroom to apply, diagnose and improve it. Nothing here is watch-only.

  1. WEEK 01

    Start & ship.

    Take one thing from idea to a real first version - make it smaller, put it into the world, get feedback and learn from what happens.

  2. WEEK 02

    Create better.

    Learn how to turn what you know, make or care about into stronger public work - better ideas, openings, structure, visuals and delivery.

  3. WEEK 03

    Get known.

    Begin your First 10 - publish deliberately around what you know, make or are building and learn what people respond to.

  4. WEEK 04

    Build with AI.

    Find a real limit in your work and use AI to materially extend what you can do.

  5. WEEK 05

    Create opportunity.

    See how visible skill and trust can create opportunity, then test one route that fits what you already have.

  6. WEEK 06

    Build your next move.

    Use the evidence from the previous five weeks to decide what deserves your next 30 days.

You won’t be doing this alone

Bring real work. Leave with a next move.

Know what to do next. Get useful feedback. Bring it early.

The Live Workroom

A live session with me, weekly through the opening six weeks. We take that week’s ideas into real work, break down member submissions and solve problems together. Bring something unfinished - and leave with a clear next move.

Each week we take the lesson into real work, break down examples, solve member problems and leave with a clear next move.

Share what You ship

Post the work you actually put into the world - content you published, an offer you tested, a build you shipped or a project you moved forward.

I run the Workroom myself and I am in the room throughout the opening six weeks - answering questions and giving feedback on real work.

Only 25 People

Different fields, different work. The common thread is people trying to put more of what they’re capable of into the world - and a room small enough that I know what each person is trying to move.

Different fields, different work - and a room small enough that I know what each of them is moving.

The founding period is the opening six weeks - the stretch where I am closest to the room. Founding membership runs for twelve months. Twenty-five places; the room opens on 28 September 2026.

The opening six weeks are when I’m closest to the room. Your Founding membership continues for the full 12 months.

Why I’m building this

Most of what changed my life started online.

Photography and video pushed me to put work online. That public work built an audience and led to brands, clients, relationships and a career. I didn’t begin with a plan to become an internet entrepreneur. I got better at something I cared about, shared it and opportunities followed. Now AI is letting me build things that were outside my capability a few years ago. That’s why I think far more people could become capable of doing things they currently assume are outside their reach.

The Founding 25

Join the Founding 25.

The Founding 25 are the first members of THE916 Collective. The room is deliberately small so I can stay close to the work, see what members actually need and build the long-term Collective from real use rather than assumptions. The founding price reflects that early access.The first members of THE916 Collective, kept small so I can stay close to the work - the founding price reflects that early access.

FAQ

Before you join.

Is this only a six-week programme?

No. The six-week Guided Cycle is how you begin; your Founding 25 membership runs for 12 months from payment. The room opens 28 September 2026, and the Guided Cycle begins 7 October 2026. After the cycle, you stay in the Collective with Workrooms, community, practical material, the Living Library, challenges, tools and feedback. The weekly Workroom rhythm applies to the opening six weeks; after that, the cadence will develop around what the room needs.

How much time should I expect to give this each week?

There is no fixed weekly hour requirement. During the Guided Cycle, expect one piece of structured work to apply or ship each week, plus the live Workroom. There is no large lesson backlog or requirement to be online every day.

What if I don’t know what I’m building yet?

You don’t need to arrive with a niche or a complete plan. Week one helps you choose something worth moving, make it smaller and start. The rest of the cycle gives you reps, feedback and evidence to sharpen the direction from there.

Do I need to be a creator or already have an audience?

No. You don’t need to call yourself a creator or already have an audience. You do need to be willing to make and publish work publicly, because that is how a lot of the practice and learning happens.

Will Ged actually be involved?

Yes. I run the live Workroom myself through the opening six weeks and I am active in the room. The Founding 25 is intentionally a small first group, so I can stay close to the work and learn where people actually need help. It does not include unlimited private coaching or 24/7 direct access.

Do I need experience with AI?

No. AI has its own part of the Guided Cycle, but it isn’t the whole programme. You’ll learn how to use it to extend what you can research, make and build without outsourcing your judgement. Content, communication, audience, opportunity and better decision-making matter too.

Do I need to be a Christian to join?

No. THE916 is openly Christian in foundation, but you do not need to be a Christian to join. Christian conviction shapes the standards and worldview behind the Collective; belief is not an entry requirement.

Will I be charged again after 12 months?

No. £79 is one payment for your first 12 months from your payment date, with no automatic renewal or further card charge. Before the year ends, I’ll explain whatever continuation options exist at that point, and you can decide whether you want one.

Last thing

You already have something worth putting into the world.
