Join the waitlist01 Where do I start?
Heroic OS+, if you want the daily practice with the coaching. Basic Training comes with it. The Leadership Accelerator, if you want eight live weeks with a cohort.
02 Is Mastery the Accelerator again?
No. Mastery is self-paced and covers the whole system in about 50 hours. The Accelerator is eight live 90-minute workshops on the one thing you chose to work on.
03 Does my organization need these?
Usually not at first. Heroic Leadership includes the monthly coach-led sessions, Heroic OS+ for your leaders, and Heroic OS for everyone. Certification comes later, when you want a person inside who can run it. See For Organizations.
04 What about Warrior & The Monk, and Rock Your Goddess Life?
Both are live cohorts. Warrior & The Monk has a waitlist at heroic.us/waitlist/warrior-and-the-monk. Rock Your Goddess Life is a women's cohort run with a partner, at rockyourgoddesslife.com.
05 How is this different from a book-summary app?
Those give you something to read. Heroic gives you something to do each day and keeps track of whether you did it.
06 How much time does it take?
About four minutes in the morning, twenty for the day's Philosopher's Note, three at night. Call it thirty. If you want more, there are 750+ Notes and 50+ classes waiting.
07 Do I need to buy a program too?
No. Leaders mostly run OS+ and never buy one. The Leadership Accelerator is there if you want eight weeks with a cohort.
08 I bought something from Heroic years ago. Where is it?
Still yours. Nothing you've bought expires or gets stripped, and legacy plans keep running as they are. If you can't find something, support will get you to it in a day.
09 Who's behind it?
Heroic is a Public Benefit Corporation founded by Brian Johnson, author of Areté and creator of Philosopher's Notes, with Michael Balchan as CEO and Head Coach. $25M+ raised, 20+ years of curation, and a stated mission to help 51% of humanity flourish by 2051.
