What Is The Difference Between The Free Level Of Membership And The Academy Membership?

 

What exactly will be delivered to me when I become an Academy Member?

On the 1st Wednesday of each month, you'll receive a special "Did You See This?" email from us; We send links to resources available to Academy members only (new eCourses, Resources, eBooks, etc.)

You’ll know it is from the Grow Network’s Academy as the subject line will read “[Lab] Your name, ….”

Here is what mine looks like:

3 Things The Academy Is NOT

We are focused on real solutions, and we avoid some topics as other organizations better serve them.

We are:

Non-Political (actually, most of us think politics is a completely rigged game, and at best, it’s a form of distracting entertainment. We have folks from every political stripe, and we all agree not to waste much time arguing over that. We do love to laugh at politicians from time to time, though). ;)

Non-Dietary (vegan, paleo, south beach, fruitarians, Adkins, Weston-Price, OMAD. . . everyone is welcome here.)

Non-Denominational (almost all of us have a deep spiritual connection, we are open to all. We come from almost every religion possible Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Pagan, Muslim, Atheists, and everything in between.)

What Our Alumni Have To Say

Sandra Richardson

"I am engrossed by the volumes of rich content that you supply on the Grow Network. I call myself a perpetual student. So, being a member of the Academy, I love all the certifications that you have out there. I am currently trying to work my way through every single one of them! And I love the currency of the information that you post. There’s more of it than I can actually go through. Which I find gratifying because I never get bored with it."

Chris Devinenzi

"A lot of times, people just get paralyzed, and they don’t know what to do. They have so much information but no knowledge of what to do about it. But you make it simple. And that’s what’s so good about the Academy. You should say, “The Grow Network - we make it simple!"

Rose Donovan

"The Grow Network is really a breath of fresh air. The videos and courses give in-depth information, but yet they’re easy to understand and follow. There’s a wealth of information here. I love being able to find the resources I need quickly."

Theophilus W.

"As a near middle-aged individual living in the heart of a large city, who doesn’t own or possess the typical resources and skills needed to survive comfortably [finances, vehicle, skilled trades/education], this Network truly is inspiring - especially now under current events. It’s reignited a sense of purpose to devote my energy towards, as opposed to striving and maintaining a “pawn” lifestyle. Here’s to another forty years - full of “actual nourishment” to soothe and refine the soul, and hopefully those closest to me as well. It is greatly appreciated Grow Network!"
