About Menus
How your Creator Kitchen Membership is Organized
What is a Menu?
We believe it’s more productive, transformational, and enjoyable to share ONE collective focus area at a time across our membership. Menus are our adorably on-brand little inventions to help us take all the various member benefits you'll find in the Kitchen and organize them around one theme, one area to push ourselves creatively.
Menus are not medium- or project-dependent. They on creative powers that are both personal and transferrable.
Personal: It comes from you. It’s not something found through a quick google search or social media post.
Transferrable: It helps you wherever you show up, not just in one piece, project, medium, or channel.
You’re NOT required to adopt our current theme, nor consume or attend all programming offered. The entire experience is customizable to you — including where you’d like to focus your efforts.
Every ~7 weeks, we set a new theme for our members, distribute the new menu, and we all explore and master that theme, each in our own, ongoing work.
Menus help you explore and improve in a given area in three ways:
Immerse yourself in ideas and content that match your aspirations, focused on that menu’s theme. Each menu kicks off with a video masterclass to rethink something powerful and receive useful tools. Each week, you can also expect new behind-the-scenes videos with Jay taking you inside his process, showcasing how he’s executing against our shared focus area.
Create better work, more confidently and consistently. Each menu comes with a set of creative prompts and templates.
Get personalized feedback. Each menu offers weekly chances to attend office hours 1:1 with Jay and Melanie or sit on small group roundtables to talk shop, swap notes, and feel inspired.
each menu can contain:
-
A live 60m presentation from (or Q&A with) a leading creator or thinker who will help us increase our impact and improve both the work we do, and the way we do it.
-
Video posts where Jay takes you behind-the-scenes of his work and dissects other members’ work, offering you insight into his creative process.
-
Intimate groups of 4-6 people discussing their craft and careers without an audience, but with recordings added to the Pantry for group benefit.
-
Open office hours session where you can drop in as needed to get 1:1 feedback from Jay and/or Mel on an idea, workshop a creative problem, or talk through a creative challenge out loud with other creators.
-
Weekly recap of what’s happened in the Kitchen and what’s coming up, to ensure you don’t miss anything.
