Q&A

- Who decides who these people are? Me/Brandon
- How do you decide who is a fellow? Looking for passion, soul alignment, practical skills and leadership.

- Who is your ideal fellow? A coach / guide with clarity on their avatar, success working in teams, an eagerness to learn, collaborate and contribute. For the cohort, I want a high diversity (geography, age, life stage, presenting purpose crisis, etc.) of avatars represented, so that the fellows can go off and launch unique offerings.
