What program attendees say

Video transcript: Hey, what's up? Hey Chuck, how are you? I think let me firstly start by congratulating you on successfully executing the eighth cohort of the six person club. I was fortunate enough to be a part of it and I had such a tremendous experience, such a great learning experience. I think if I look back, I take three things out of the course very tangibly. One, a very strong system in process of how to go around this journey of building. Because I somehow had the idea of what to build, but I tend to get carried away very easily. So I needed a very strong system in process of how to go about this journey, how not to be rushed, how not to be anxious, how not to chase the vanity and likes and validation of external folks, which I realize now is very, very important if I'm playing this as a long game. I think second, which is a very related point here, is I needed very strong guard rails of what not to do in the process. And I think, I think multiple sessions, especially the one that I recall by Krishna Shok, the one by Lavanya as well, touched upon that point, like very, very deeply. And it traveled somewhere very deep inside me of what not to be doing in the journey. I think lastly, I think obviously it gave me access to a stellar bunch of very inspired folks who are almost like cheerleaders, whatever you're doing in the journey. So I feel very fortunate to be a part of this and thank you so much for agreeing to let me be a part of this. And I had a tremendous experience and I mean kudos to you. I launched, in fact, how many projects that I launch. I have a very active Instagram profile, I'm creating content on startups. I just created a very engaged community on WhatsApp, inspired by Deepak's community on AI for non techies. And I have just created my substack for the same. So like a bunch of very tangible good things have come out of it. I'm very grateful, thank you so much.

Video transcript: Before I came across Utsav and The 6% Club, it was always a challenge to think about myself as a creator or even creating something formally and then putting it out there in the world. Like, less about the fear of rejection or people judging or embarrassing me, but more about just not even having a collective thought process to develop, to develop something meaningful that, that meant something to me or that meant something to anybody who else who might, might read it or come across it. But with all the mindset hacks that The 6% Club Utsav and Chuck provided in this, this course, in this program and the other big part, the community of people who are stuck in a similar, similar place in life trying to launch their content, trying to launch their project, create a project out, out to the world. And we all collectively just came together and we all just, we're all out there now. Everybody's launched themselves, everybody's constantly producing this content. And very grateful, very, very grateful to Utsav and Chuck for having this beautiful program that helps, helps us become unfrozen, unstuck in life. And I'm using a lot of those tips to help my fuel my other creative projects as well. And very, very grateful again.

Video transcript: The best thing about The 6% Club is that Utsav and Chuck give you the explicit permission to be less than perfect, even to fail. In some cases, you slowly start internalizing this idea that in order to one day be able to come up with your best work, you first need to get comfortable with being just good enough. And I think that is the central message for content creators that Utsav and Chuck have. Then, of course, it's augmented by their wealth of wisdom on content creation. Typically, the biggest questions that people have is where they belong, if they belong, and how to get started. And The 6% Club has found some very practical methods of answering these questions. Finally, being in the midst of healthy community of artists, podcasters, writers is a reward in itself. So do check out their upcoming cohorts.

Video transcript: Hi, my name is Fairy Dharawat and I'm gonna talk a little about The 6% Club and why you should consider joining it. Okay? So before I joined, I had ideas, lots, lots of ideas. Small, small ideas. And they were not. They were, they were very fragmented. You know, I had a concept. I want to do something. I had something like a sketch and something like this. So basically this means that I wanted to do a project which brought me comfort, which gave me creative freedom, which made me. Which built a space for me to express myself in a way that's, that's more positive. You know, we are living in a world that's, so. That's chaotic, right? You need some kind of discipline in something that fuels you up, right? So I was looking to build up a project, but my struggle were struggles were that no time and I have no time. Why should I do this? This is work, right? This is work. A personal project is also work. And I really struggled with that. But I knew I wanted to do something and I struggled in giving time, space, energy, and I thought that this would help me. And it did. It helped me to translate this little thing into this little thing. So the concept was made tangible with the help of processes, with the help of structure, with the help of process, structure, accountability. I think that's really important for people like us who are creative folks or even who are not creative folks, you know, do we really need to invest so much? I would say yes. It feels that you don't want to, but I think it's important because it really fuels you up. It makes you more, more happier or more satisfied with yourself because we are doing everything for everyone, you know, But I think your cup needs to be full also. You know, how you're going to spread, how you're going to do your responsibilities more efficiently if you're not able to take care of yourself. So this project was something like that for me. And I'm so happy that I invested so much. And I would recommend to anyone who is considering it and to give it a shot. Thank you.

Video transcript: Hello, I am Rajiv Aserkar. I am a full time academician and have absolutely no connection with the creator economy. So when I saw the website of The 6% Club which promised from idea to launch in 45 days, I was clueless about it. I thought what do I have to do with it? I have nothing in common with this type of course. But I wanted to really do something different. Explore the creative side of my personality for which I had no time. I wanted to put some dedicated efforts and I joined the course on impulse. For two months. I explored this course with an open mind. Chuck and Utsav are great mentors. They make a great team. Together they take you through the entire process from from concept to creation, step by step. They help you to formulate the idea and put that idea into the real content. They make you accountable. They help you with the technology part of content creation. The course also has excellent master classes conducted by Amit Verma and Krish Ashok among others. It was just a joy and a pleasure to spend those hours in the company of like minded content creators from different parts of the world. Each one of us thought aloud about our ideas and gave a shape to those ideas. And today I can very confidently say that my first blog which is now on the Substack, is going to see many more in future. I really wish to thank Chuck and Utsav for this fantastic course which they have designed and I wish them all the very best for future. Thank you very much.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Gowri and I write a Substack newsletter about detective fiction. I launched this about three months ago and it would never have come to life if I had not signed up for Cohort 2 of The 6% Club. So I'm a freelance writer, which means that my day job involves bringing other people's ideas to life and running their content projects. And I've done that for years. But in spite of having a number of ideas, my own project never sort of took off. I was either procrastinating, waiting for a time in the future when I would be 100% happy with the shape and form of my idea. And I think I was honestly a little afraid of judgment. I was also deprioritizing my passion project, my personal project, over all the other things that come in the way work and life. So when I saw the LinkedIn post about The 6% Club that Utsav and Chuck were launching, I thought, well, if I put down some money, perhaps that will motivate me to get this off the ground. So I came in without any expectations. However, this was very, very useful for one I realized that I'm not unique or alone in my concerns. My imposter syndrome, my procrastination. I came into contact with a number of people who all have such great ideas, but we are all stuck at different points, you know, so it was, it was great actually to see, to have company, to know that we are all struggling with the same things. What I also loved about the entire program is that Chuck and Utsav have completely different takes. They agree on many things, of course, but they also have very different approaches to how they manage their time, how they plan their content, a number of such things. So it was two different perspectives that you keep getting throughout. I also really appreciated the master classes that they kind of put together for us by bringing other, what do you say, like great creators and giving us a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes. So it motivated me to kick off my newsletter and yeah, and it's been going strong and thank you so much Chuck and UTSAV for running this. And if you have at any time thought of starting something on your own, but you're stuck for any reason, I think you should give this a try. The program is going to be very helpful. Not just what goes on, but mainly not just the frameworks or the ideas or the plans, but really the mindset change that it will bring about. So good luck.

Video transcript: The universe of social media and content creation can be a very overwhelming, daunting, almost intimidating space, especially if you're not Gen Z or not full time in the business of content creation. Yet there is an urge in all of us to express, to create, to record, to publish, to talk to an audience about things that interest us in various formats. It could be a podcast, could be a blog, could be a newsletter, could be an Instagram series. And there are various There's a whole multitude of courses offered all across the Internet by all kinds of people on various aspects of content creation. But when I came across the 6% club, I didn't know about Utsav and Deepak prior. I loved what I read about their approach to helping people create content. They weren't just selling something, they were offering assistance, they were offering support and guidance from their own experiences. And when I signed up, from day one till the end of the course, the 6% club has been the best group hug I've had in a long time. The community that these two have created of like minded, positive, uplifting individuals who constantly support you and encourage you is something that you can't put a value on, you can't put a price tag on. Their own style and approach of guiding you, of constantly nudging you forward towards your goals in a very structured, detailed manner, is something that is very rarely found across the Internet. So if you are taking your first steps into content creation, if you are continuing your journey on content creation and want a little more guidance on how to break down all the aspects that surround this universe, this is the best, absolute best course or workshop that you can sign up for. The 6% club is that community that you need to be a part of. Don't think twice. You will not regret it. UTSAV and Deepak will be your best friends in this journey and I couldn't be more grateful for this support. Thank you tspc.

Video transcript: Hi, my name is Anuroop and I enjoy wildlife photography which I've been doing since 2008 or so. For a while I wanted to share stories about nature and wildlife which go beyond a single image, and though I had a lot of ideas brewing, I never really got down to sharing much. The 6% Club helped me think through how I can do this consistently starting now by helping me think through the form, the type of stories and the platform I could use, which is how I started my own nature photography channel on YouTube. As of now it has only a few videos, but it has ticked the boxes that mattered to me, such as enjoying the process of creation, a frequency that I can manage, and most importantly, a deeper, vivid, longer story about a place or habitat I visited and the wildlife it contains for me the most. For me, the biggest impact of The 6% Club came from helping me get comfortable with the idea of sharing my work publicly, even if I didn't think I was the most stellar, story or video. So the approach of being okay with sharing rough work, being comfortable with being a beginner, helped me put more videos out and thanks to that I am enjoying wildlife photography a lot more now.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Anand Menon, author of the blog Fridge Magnet tales. After nearly 10 years of travel blogging, I really wanted to try out YouTube, but I was struggling with a lot of questions. How will my content stand out? What will be the ROI? How do I manage it with my family and full time job? So it never really took off. That's when I came across The 6% Club by Chuck and Utsav. So they have both mastered content creation and doing it consistently while doing the full time jobs as well. And they were also bringing on other creators who were very successful with over 20 years of experience and they were all sharing their playbooks. So this course completely changed my mindset about content creation and it's very well structured with a lot of mindsets and playbooks on how you can keep yourself accountable, different tools that can be used, and the best part is the cohort. Everyone's always cheering you on because they truly understand the struggles of content creation. So thanks to Chuck and Utsav both my projects have got renewed energy. So if you're struggling with a job and a passion project together, I'd highly recommend The 6% Club. It's an investment worth making. Thank you.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Ann Thomas and I'd love to share my experience with The 6% Club. My content project had been on the back burner for years. I was too busy creating content for work and my personal interests got sidelined and it just felt like something I might never get to. But joining the course has been a complete game changer. I got everything I was looking for motivation to stop delaying and start creating insight into what I wanted to build, how to make it impactful and connections with some incredible, incredible, passionate individuals who constantly inspire you and push you to get better and better. But the biggest lesson for me, this is my journey. I'm here to build my story and there is absolutely no comparison and that clarity has been invaluable. So if you're sitting on an idea and unsure on how to begin, The 6% Club and the absolutely wonderful team behind it gives you the right tools, the mindset and a beautiful community to make it happen, Do take that leap.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Neha and I host a podcast called Parenthoot. But before it came to my life, I was, well, a professional overthinker. Too many ideas swirling around, zero focus and a history of starting projects and then ghosting them later. Sound familiar? Well, enter The 6% Club. Utsav and Deepak didn't just help me plan to plan as I was prone to, but they helped me plan to execute. The nudged me to pick the idea that resonated with me the most. Spoiler alert. It was Parenthoot and gave me the clarity to actually make it happen. Plus, they pointed me to some fantastic resources that made the process less overwhelming for me and more sustainable for me. They gave us frameworks and they gave us. They pointed us to resources. But more than anything else. And here's the real magic, the community. It's where I found solidarity, encouragement, and honest feedback. I could bounce ideas off people who just get it. And on days I wanted to give up, they cheered me on. So if you've ever thought about creating something, anything, and putting it out in the world, join the 6% club. Trust me, it's the nudge you didn't know you needed. And thank you, Utsav and Chuck, for helping me kickstart this beautiful journey. I'm forever grateful.

Video transcript: Hi, I'm Kanchan. You know that feeling when you love working on something, but you're absolutely scared to share it with the world? Well, that was me with my writing. Now I had a zillion stories to share, but my imposter syndrome was keeping them all locked away. Luckily, I discovered The 6% Club via Chuck's newsletter, which I absolutely love. And that's when things kind of shifted. It's not about the practical frameworks that they share. It's not just about that. It's literally the safe space that Chuck and Utsav create. Now imagine sharing your most personal stories with your batchmates and receiving unexpected kindness in return. What really happened was that they made me view creativity differently. They made me see how content creation isn't just about perfection. It's about joy, authenticity, and community. So today I write my newsletter, Homebody Stories, which is about life's quiet moments. It's become a place where I get to connect with others who also find beauty in stillness and the ordinary. So I guess what makes it extra special is that even after graduation, the learning still continues. It's basically the beginning of a journey that you never even knew you needed. Yeah. Thank you.

Video transcript: I've always been wanting to write a book, and for the longest time, I just wouldn't start. And then when Chuck and Utsav decided to start The 6% Club, I said, what the hell, Let me give it a try. It helped me in three ways. Number one, just being in the company of other people who also wanted to achieve something and were being held back by things they couldn't exactly put their finger on was great. The second thing was a lot of. There was a lot of clarity that Chuck and Utsav brought as they presented what stops many of us from doing things that we really want to do. And the third thing is they've been continuously following up. So it's a little sort of push to, you know, Which tells you that, you know, hey, there is something you've. You really want to do and you have to keep at it. The bonus thing is the community that forms around it, and they keep sharing. And it's, you know, it's inspiring oftentimes because you can see people who have achieved what they've begun to, what they started off with, and that's very inspiring. So thanks a lot, Utsav and Chuck, and, you know, I'm really happy that I was part of this.
