Join a Course Bootcamp!
Prefer not to go it alone? Join one of our Build Bootcamps and work through a course alongside a small group of GMA members over a few weeks.
Each week, your “homework” is to watch a few lessons that prepare you for the next steps. Then, you can join a weekly live group session with Mike to ask questions, get feedback, and share your progress—before heading to your workshop to let the sawdust fly.
