Space to hear from others and share your thoughts.
The most important part of any Alpha – an open conversation about the week’s topic. You can share your thoughts and questions, or just see what other people made of it. There’s no pressure to say anything or come to any conclusions – just a safe space for everyone’s unique perspective.
