The Second Shift

Apply to The Second Shift

Eight questions about you, your week, and what you're building on top of it. Your answers go straight to Jay.

Four things before you start

No surprises later. Read these, then decide if you want to sit down and answer the questions.

What the room costs: The founding rate is $600 for year one. The standard rate is $1,200 a year. It's annual, and there's no monthly option. The whole price, who the founding rate is for, and why it is lower, is on the room page.
Applying is not paying: This form takes no money and never asks for a card. Sending it doesn't put you in the room, and it doesn't commit you to anything.
What happens after you send it: You land on a short thank you page. One email comes back to say your answers arrived. Then the answers sit in Jay's inbox until he goes through them.
How long this takes: It takes about ten minutes, and it's real questions, not a form with your name and your title on it.

The application

One question is optional: how you found this. Everything else is required. The required ones say so next to the label, and the box at the end has to be ticked before the form will send.

Write the way you talk. Nobody is grading the writing.

Who you are

Your name (required)

Your email address (required) This is where the answer comes back, so use one you actually read.

Your week right now

What already owns most of your week (required) The job or the business. A sentence or two is plenty.

What you are building on top of it (required) The thing you put money and evenings into. Stocks, property, a side company, a book, a skill. Where it stands today is the useful part.

Hours a week you can honestly give it (required) Under two is a real answer, and it is not the wrong one. This room is built for people whose calendar is already full.

The room

What you want from a room like this (required) Say the specific thing. "Someone who will tell me the truth about my numbers" is more useful than "networking."

What you would bring to it (required) What do you know, or have already done, that another member could use? Answer it straight.

Last two things

How you found this Optional. A name, a site, a search, or "I do not remember." It tells Jay what is working.

Yes, Jay can email me about this application.

Your answers go to Jay. They are not sold, traded, or handed to anyone else.

Read the letter first

Not ready to send the form? The letter is free and open to anyone. One a week, for people who already have a full plate and are building something anyway.

You will get one email asking you to confirm. That is it. No spam, and every letter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.
