“I joined for the workshops and stayed for the pod. Five people who actually remember what I said I’d do last fortnight — it’s the only reason my studio got off the ground.”

“I joined for the workshops and stayed for the pod. Five people who actually remember what I said I’d do last fortnight — it’s the only reason my studio got off the ground.”
“Going solo after fifteen years in a firm was terrifying. Kindred gave me a room full of people doing the same brave, daft thing. Two of my biggest clients came from a Saturday morning.”
“It’s the opposite of every networking event I’ve hated. Nobody’s working the room. People genuinely want to help, and somehow that’s where the work comes from anyway.”
“The mentoring matched me with someone a few years ahead, and I mentor a newer member myself. Both make me better. I’d pay the Guild fee for the dinners alone.”
