Surround yourself with edu-preneurs who understand your ambitions and empathize with your struggles.

EIN’s Brain Trust 🧠 meets monthly to go over professional challenges or areas you’re looking to develop in your work. You bring your challenge, we all come together to brainstorm, share feedback, exchange resources, and explore solutions. (Based on expertise and experience, not opinions). 

EIN facilitates this event with the aim of creating a casual, constructive, and confidential environment.

To participate:

  • You can either bring a challenge to share with the group and/or come with your desire to learn, support, and brainstorm with other members. 
  • If you’d like to share a challenge and get the group’s input, let us know when you RSVP so we can plan our time together.

Examples of what you could bring as a professional challenge:

  • A tricky work situation you’re trying to navigate
  • Something you’re working on for feedback (i.e messaging, copy, website, etc.) 
  • A question you’re trying to answer or decision you’re trying to make
