Who’s Inside

  • Cris

    Cris vibe-coded a website for her new business and even secured her first paying customers – and she’d never written a line of code before.

  • Kyle

    Kyle wanted to launch his “Ask Your Elders” project for seven years but never found the time – until the accountability of Act Two snapped him into action. 

  • Brian

    Brian spent ten years thinking about launching the perfect YouTube channel, but never following through. In Act Two he finally started publishing videos consistently.

  • Fei-Ling

    Fei-Ling had been putting off her new website project for her service offering. Act Two sparked a work sprint that led her to hit publish and share it with the world.

  • Richard

    Richard used his newfound momentum from Act Two to launch his new AI-driven marketing business.

  • Mohammad

    Mohammad turned his passion for storytelling into a story-driven cohort-based program for engineers looking to improve their communication skills.

  • Magnus

    Magnus used Act Two to explore language study through comedy – he performed standup and even improv comedy in German, his second language, and has plans to teach others his methods.

  • Pranav

    Pranav had a breakthrough around his creative approach – he learned to anchor to the internal, to pursue projects that intrinsically motivate and excite him – which led to the launch of his new Substack and YouTube channel.

  • Jan

    Jan finally finished the book he’d been working on for years, benefitting from group accountability and feedback to get across the finish line. 

  • Karena

    Karena used Act Two to explore a new writing project–sharing her journey and back story for her children.

Take it offline. We’re in-person in 2026.

Citizens of the Internet in-person retreat takes place in July 2026. We’ll gather in a warm location in North America (exact place TBD) for a few days of discussions, exploration, and creative renewal. The retreat is designed to deepen relationships formed in our virtual walled-garden community – to bring our digital fellowship into real-life. Together we will share meals, conversations, and creative sessions that center around our core questions:

  • How is your project a reflection of your unique self?

  • How have your attention habits been lately? What are changes you can make to raise your floor and expand your ceiling?

  • What visions and creative challenges are on your horizon in the months ahead?

We’ll get to know each other in three full dimensions – far richer and more meaningful than even the best Zoom screen. We hope you’ll join us.

 FAQs

  • Citizens of the Internet runs continuously throughout the year. When you enroll, you join for 12 months. The program is primarily delivered via asynchronous support, creative challenges, and live 1:1 feedback, available for scheduling whenever fits your schedule. We’ll also get together live on Zoom for Guest Workshops and ad-hoc Creative Lab sessions.

  • The community is designed to keep you in motion through accountability, shared momentum, and creative environments that make it easier to stay inspired and consistent.

    You’ll get access to monthly, weekly, and daily creative challenges, accountability text groups, ongoing feedback in our community hub, plus options for multiple weekly 1:1 support calls to unblock you and help you expand your creative horizons (with idea sparring and brainstorming).

  • We host guest workshops twice per month, featuring world-class creators, thinkers, and builders who bring fresh insight and creative fuel to the community. We focus on bringing in practitioners working at the creative edge. No ivory tower theory here. Our guests practice what they preach.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • At minimum, you’ll share one creative piece each month, though many members choose to publish weekly or daily to build stronger habits and faster momentum.

  • A typical week includes ongoing creative challenges, accountability support in the WhatsApp group text, creative project in our community hub, and options for multiple 1:1 support calls, catered to your creative needs. 

    Co-founder Will Mannon is available for idea sparring and brainstorming support calls; licensed coach Harrison Moore is available for 1:1 sessions to uncover your creative challenge and help you smash through your psychological barriers.

  • Citizens of the Internet is an ongoing creative community that helps you follow through on your ideas, stay accountable to your goals, and consistently publish your work online.

    We’re a creative community devoted to better uses of attention in service of human flourishing. 

  • You’ll be surrounded by writers, thinkers, podcasters, coders, designers, founders, video-makers, and other creatives who are serious about turning their ideas into finished work, consistently. 

  • Act Two is a focused, time-bound accelerator that helps you start a creative project, while Citizens of the Internet is the ongoing space that helps you sustain your momentum and keep creating over the long haul. They complement each other, but they are separate programs. 

    You do not have to take Act Two in order to join Citizens of the Internet, or vice versa.

A word from the Founders

The world has changed.

Endless information. AI superpowers available at our fingertips.

We’re entering the Golden Age of Creativity.

There’s just one bottleneck left: the mind. Ancient biology holds us hostage: hesitations, doubts, self-sabotage. How many one-of-one creative visions have stayed trapped in someone’s mind thanks to these pesky psychological blocks?

Citizens of the Internet exists to help you break through.

To help you follow through on that project you’ve always been thinking about.

To get your best work into the world, so you can get in the game, and start tapping into the Internet. Endless opportunities await. Who knows what path you’ll carve? There is no ceiling to the Internet’s abundance.

But why us? Why are we building this community of creative reinvention?

First, we built Write of Passage, the gold standard of online courses: 3,100 students from 75+ countries. Thousands of students launched their work onto the Internet in the program we built. We’ve pioneered the frontiers of top-quality online learning experiences.

And we both have track records of creative follow-through. Will became a standup comedian in China (after thousands of hours of practice). Dan created a vibrant community of woodworkers (and rebuilt his house from scratch).

So what about you? What’s that creative project you’ve always wanted to complete, but keep putting off? What gives you that gnawing sense of having had, and lost, an infinite inner potential?

In Act Two, you’ll smash these barriers, alongside hundreds of other curious, driven learners from around the world. You’ll finally follow through. And your creative project, shared with the world, will start to attract new opportunities your current self can’t even imagine.

What will you create?
