"If you want to embrace some bravery and think about things in a different way, then go for it! I'm so grateful for the wisdom, the stories and the advice I gained from doing this course. It helped me to think differently about the direction I want to take my business and how we can grow."
Anna Thompson Ford
"The Periodic Table of Innovation was so awesome. I literally had no idea the steps to go through in order to make your business and setting it up in the first place. It was so valuable having Catherine and Hutch going through the whole process with us. I know so much more about building my business now!"
Carrick Graham
"I wanted to try this for myself after seeing other people using it already to build businesses and to do their entrepreneurship journeys. It was so valuable having the support from people who had built businesses before."

“Taking Mike and Catherine’s course completely changed the way we went about building our business. It helped us put together all of the pieces of the puzzle at a time when we needed it the most. Working through the 12 Modules with the group allowed us to get the support and advice we needed - we then went on to win $15K in the AUT X-Challenge!”

“Really excited to have had a chance to formulate my business idea and learn how to take it to market. It was awesome having the focus each week to develop my idea. I have a plan and a strategy and I’m ready to go!”
Karla Wright
“It was a really practical, really focused and well-presented course and it seemed like a no-brainer when I saw it. I’m so glad I did! After going through the Course, I actually chose not to launch my business - but that was more valuable than anything to me. Rather than spending a fortune on setting up something that I discovered wasn’t viable, I came out of it with my dignity intact and my eyes wide open - and probably saved myself $150K in the process!”

As a result of doing the Course with Hutch and Catherine, my business knowledge was drastically improved. I really appreciated having the support each week and being held accountable to getting my idea into action, then presenting it at the end. My big idea changed considerably during the process, and I was able to get input from my mentors that gave me more confidence in my business. We're 2 years old and going strong!
