Weekly peer accountability for builders and changemakers.
metis.
Metis (μῆτις): Ancient Greek for practical wisdom; the intelligence of craftspeople, gained through action, not theory.
A facilitated peer community where founders, creators, and professionals support each other's momentum through structured accountability and collective wisdom.
What Metis Is
A facilitated peer community, not a coaching program
The Key Distinction
I don't teach or coach you. I provide the structure, facilitate the weekly sessions, and guide a protocol for nervous system regulation.
The wisdom comes from the collective, not from me. This is a peer-to-peer environment where participants support, challenge, and hold each other accountable.
Metis = practical wisdom gained through action. You learn by doing, shipping, and receiving feedback from peers navigating similar challenges.
Think: Executive peer forum + accountability group + weekly structure + nervous system regulation.
What This IS:
- Facilitated peer community
- Weekly structured sessions
- Group accountability & feedback
- Nervous system regulation protocol
- Platform for consistent progress
- Curated mix of high-performers
What This Is NOT:
- 1:1 coaching program
- Masterclass or course
- Me providing the answers
- Passive learning environment
- Open enrollment (application required)
- Drop-in casual community
Who This Is For
Actively building something and need weekly structure + peer support
🚀 Founders & Entrepreneurs
You're in early build—prototype phase, first customers, MVP iteration. The work is lonely and full of friction. You need weekly accountability and peers who understand the chaos.
🎨 Creators & Builders
You're launching a project, side business, or creative work. Vision is clear but execution is stuck. You need structure, public commitments, and witnesses to ship consistently.
💼 Professionals in Transition
You're mid-pivot—changing careers, roles, or industries. The path isn't linear and stakes feel high. You need support navigating the discomfort of becoming.
🎯 Disciplined Practitioners
You're training for something—health protocol, certification, major life change. You're committed but need external structure that converts intentions into action.
Common thread: You're in motion. You're building something real. You need consistent structure, peer accountability, and a community that gets it.
How It Works
90-minute weekly sessions with structured format
State Regulation (15 min)
Breathwork protocol: CO₂ tolerance breathing, voice resonance, somatic regulation. Get into a neuroplastic state before working. Same sequence every week.
Accountability Check-In (15 min)
Round-robin: What did you commit to last week? What did you ship? Celebrate wins publicly. Name obstacles for pattern recognition. Progress tracking visible to all.
Hot Seat / Case Study (45 min)
1-2 participants present their current challenge, blockage, or decision. Group provides feedback, perspective, resources, and connections. Rotating basis—everyone gets their turn over time.
Commitments & Close (15 min)
Public commitments for the week ahead. Specificity matters: what, when, how you'll know it's done. Closing breath practice to seal the container.
Total: 90 minutes weekly | Plus optional async support in dedicated Slack/Discord channel

Your Facilitator
I hold the container, you bring the content
Joshua Beneventi
I'm not here to teach, coach, or provide answers. My role is to facilitate the weekly structure, guide the breathwork protocol, and hold the container for peer exchange.
The real value comes from the collective wisdom in the room—diverse perspectives, honest feedback, and mutual accountability. I design the environment. You do the work.
