The questions worth asking

$125, once, paid only after you're accepted and never on this site. All of it comes back, no questions asked, if you leave before your day one, or within 14 days of paying, whichever is later. After day one it stays, whatever happens. Your money pays for the month, and it is never tied to your results: nobody here makes money if you fail.

Because a place that costs nothing gets treated like it. The first streets exist to prove the method in public, and Michael runs his own sprint alongside the first one, on his own house, on the same street. The refund means the only people who stay paid-up are the ones who chose to be here.

About 90 seconds of camera a day — a 60-second post at night and a 30-second one in the morning — plus one hour a week for the lodge call. The real commitment is the work itself: one brick a day, sized so you can actually hit it.

They are yours. Your street and Michael can see them, and nobody else. A video only ever goes public if you switch that one video public yourself. We never delete them, you can delete any or all of them whenever you like, and you can download your album at the end of a sprint. None of them is used in marketing without your separate written yes, per video.

Life happens, and the design assumes it. A missed day never leaves a hole in the house: the build carries on from where you stopped, and the strip under the house keeps the honest count of all 30 days. The roof needs 21 built days out of 30, so there are nine days of slack. Going quiet is the one thing the format is built against, so half a day still counts as showing up.

Neither. It is a structured working format: a locked goal, a daily declared step, and a street of people who expect it. It is not therapy or medical treatment, it does not diagnose anything, and if what you need right now is emotional support, this is the wrong room and we will say so at the application stage.

The work is yours. Nobody does it for you, nobody cheers, and the house only shows what happened. If you are looking for the trick, it is this: your street notices when you don’t show up, and that turns out to be the thing that was missing.

Michael Worthington. He reads every application, runs the pre-work and every weekly call, and builds his own house alongside the first street. He has been fired from more than ten jobs, went to Cambridge, and has been to over a hundred countries without being rich. The format started years ago as a Google Sheet he ran with two friends, and all three still stand on what they built in it.
