It’s not transactional networking, or salesy jerks, it’s like the coworkers you used to talk shit with in the breakroom, or the people you met up with after work for happy hour.
You might meet your next collaborator, client, or best bud.
We keep the schedule super simple so there’s no decision fatigue or meeting overload - we meet on Thursdays 12–3pm ET (come when you can for as long as you want)
You get support and accountability on the hard work days
Coworking and the online community keep you focused and moving towards your business goals without the social media distractions
I actively look for ways to put you in front of my audience
I shout you out in my newsletter, on social media, and mention members as often as I can cause you’re my favorite humans
Learn when you need to, from real people who know you and your business
Member-led workshops (with replays if you miss one), so you're always learning something useful right when you need it and you get to show off your brilliance too
You can suck at follow up and still make connections
Because we’re all hanging inside so you’ll never forget who you wanna hang with
There’s no pressure to show up to everything
You get to pop in when you can and skip it when you can't, we’re a very chill group of humans.
And if you usually hate networking… perfect, so do we! 😬
Seriously, your next collab could be waiting for you inside right now!

Valeska Griffiths
Copywriter + Brand Strategist
After decades in the art world and entrepreneurial spaces, I've learned that having a crew that has your back and hypes you up is the easiest way to grow your reach, your opportunities, and your support system.
Reframing "networking" as hanging out, brainstorming, laughing and making friends - things you've probably been doing your whole life - can make it something you actually enjoy doing consistently.
I built The Playhouse so founders, freelancers, creatives, weirdos, and brilliantly quirky entrepreneurs would have a place to meet their next collaborators, referral partners, and even clients without ever feeling like some salesy jerk.
The result: a true community with no jerks allowed.
If you’re ready to grow your business through genuine connection, we saved you a seat inside our weird little scene.

Heck no! We're all busy business owners, so you choose what works for you and skip the rest. There are lots of different ways to connect so do what works for your life, schedule, personality type, and business. You'll still get value from the community.
Just reach out within your first 7 days and I'll give you a full refund! No questions asked!
There are no guarantees, but members definitely find collaborators, referral partners, and clients through the relationships they build inside The Playhouse.
The more you participate in the online community and events, the more chances of making business changing connections.
Heck yes! We have a few different ways you can do this each month - either in the online forum or some of our Thursday events. We're humans with businesses so yeah, you can totally grow your list, make money, and get your work in front of other creative entrepreneurs in this space.
But make sure you're not pitch slapping anyone or cold DMing people like some desperate LinkedIn-er. This group leans more toward real conversations, creativity, and genuine relationships
I feel strongly that we're all new and experienced at all different things in life and business. So maybe you're a beast at email marketing but your branding could be better.
This is a community, an ecosystem of sorts that thrives on diversity and people learning from each other. That being said, we do use breakout rooms and encourage small group meetups if you want to dive deep into a topic that would benefit from a more niche audience.
There's an online community in Heartbeat where you can chat and share things asynchronously and we chose the Thursday 12 - 3pm ET schedule so you'd know when things are and can try to plan around it.
Of course, there's no pressure to come to everything, if you just show up some times you'll still get value from the community!
That’s totally fine! The Playhouse is a low-pressure place to connect in whatever way feels comfortable to you. And if you're newer to business, it's a safe place to network. learn from others, and be inspired!
