What People Are Saying

We’ve already had tens of thousands of Platform University students benefit from the coaching, curriculum, and community inside our self-guided Core Membership Program, and the phenomenal feedback continues to pour in:

Despite these success stories, we also heard from many Platform University students who had been paying members for months (or years) without making substantial progress.

So we Platform University Platinum, a more hands-on experience that involves coaching and accountability, along with personalized feedback.

Our initial early adopter pilot is going phenomenally well, so we have decided to open up a second coaching cohort (limited to 25 members).

Testimonial from Current Member

"My favorite part of the Platinum experience is the ability to get real-time answers to questions I have about creating my platform.

If I ask a question during a monthly call, I get an answer on the spot. If I ask a question on Slack, I get an answer either the same day or the next day.

This is very helpful for moving forward because I don’t get stuck on a problem."

— Valerie Hayes

Meet Your Guide, John Meese

John was one of the first Platform University students back in 2013, and quickly established himself as an up-and-coming platform-builder before he became the full-time Dean of Platform University.

Using everything he learned inside Platform University as a student, John launched his own blog and podcast, built a dedicated following, and leveraged his relationship with his audience to sell online courses, coaching services, and software products—quitting his “day job” in less than a year.

Now he’s committed to helping other Platform University students achieve the same level of success—by directing the focus of membership content and through group coaching with our Platinum Coaching Program.

“I may have written the book on building a platform, but John Meese is THE teacher you need to listen to if you want to build an online audience in today’s digital landscape.

John has a knack for breaking complicated subjects down into simple, easy-to-implement advice, combined with a passion for helping students succeed. You couldn’t ask for a better teacher, or coach.”

— Michael Hyatt, Founder of Platform University®

We know not everyone learns best in an independent-study, online environment.

Over the past 5 years, our self-guided membership program has helped thousands of our members launch successful platforms with thriving, engaged online audiences—but we've also heard from many members that they need a hands-on coaching experience.

Whether you find yourself overwhelmed by technology, short on time, confused about where to start, or find it difficult to make progress without accountability, group coaching will create the ideal conditions for your transformation.

If you haven’t made the progress you were hoping for yet, it’s not your fault—it's just that you need the accountability, camaraderie, and transformation that only a group coaching experience can provide.

Why Coaching Works (According to Science)

If you’ve never invested in yourself like this before, it may sound daunting. But, here’s what the research says:

According to a study commissioned by the International Coaching Federation on the benefits reported by ongoing coaching clients:

  • 47% achieve sustained health transformation
  • 60% become more effective leaders
  • 70% experience better work performance

As it turns out, coaching can produce a return of up to 7 times the original investment. Self-development is just like financial investing. The more you put in, the more you get out.

Ongoing, in-person coaching is the gold-standard of personal and professional development. Nothing helps you go further, faster. What’s your success worth to you?

Frequently Asked Questions

We're always happy to answer your questions via email, and you're also welcome to click the questions below to expand the answer to common questions we've already received.

  • Q: When and where will the 2 In-Person Group Coaching Workshops take place?
  • A: These 1-day coaching workshops with John Meese and the Platform University team will be held in Franklin, Tennessee. The first event is scheduled for November 16, 2018, and the second event is scheduled for June 2018 (date to be announced). Full details, including the event venue, hotel recommendations, meal accommodations and more, will be shared in the weeks leading up to each in-person workshop.
  • Q: How can I participate in the 12 Monthly Group Coaching Video Calls?
  • These video calls will occur, and be recorded, through Zoom. The dates will be scheduled based on best group availability as soon as registration closes, and if for whatever reason you have to miss a call you’ll have full access to the video session and that month’s curriculum coaching.
  • Q: Is this program for intermediate platform-builders, or just beginners?
  • Both! While we will be going through our core curriculum together, starting with fundamentals, the hands-on coaching and small-group nature of the program will allow beginners to grow faster than they would on their own, and intermediate students to unlock new levels of growth. If you are not satisfied with the results of your audience and platform so far, then this coaching program can help.
  • Q: Do you have a return or refund policy?
  • We sure do! Our “No-Brainer” Guarantee ensures that after you join, you have a full 30 days to experience this immersive, group coaching program as an early adopter, before you decide whether or not to commit for the complete program. In that time, if you are not 150% satisfied with your experience, please email support@platformuniversity.com and we will immediately issue a complete refund of every penny you spent.
  • Q: I’m already a current Platform University member, how is this program different?
  • The greatest difference between our Platinum Coaching Program and core self-guided membership are the in-person workshops and monthly face-to-face coaching calls. We rely on the same core curriculum content, with in-depth bonus training only available in the coaching program. Ongoing, in-person coaching is the gold-standard of personal and professional development. It’s the closest thing to a “success guarantee” you can get.
  • Q: I’m an author who’s aspiring to get published, how does this Platinum Coaching Program benefit me?
  • Without an audience, you most likely won't accomplish your publishing dreams. Audience-building might seem like a slow and daunting chore that could delay you for years, but inside Platform University (our all-in-one membership program for audience building), we’ve perfected the process of building engaged online followings. With this coaching program, we want to take that to a new level of transformation.
  • Q: What’s the benefit of access to the private Slack community?
  • Slack is a digital messaging and team collaboration tool, which members of our Platinum Coaching Program will use to get direct access to John Meese, Platform University coaches, and peers within the group. This private channel will be a vehicle for fostered growth and application of this program’s exclusive coaching.
  • Q: What does Early Adopter Benefits to Shape Your Experience include?
  • Being an Early Adopter of Platinum University's Platinum Coaching Program will yield incredible benefits, because our inaugural group of members will have a unique opportunity to provide ongoing feedback on this guided coaching experience and shape the experience itself.
