The one-liner
A premium Circle leadership community for professionals who choose collaboration over competition.
What they actually sell
The Outlier Project, run by Scott MacGregor, lives on Circle. Its public pitch: "A leadership community fostering authentic connection, collaboration, and personal growth." Membership costs $249 a month. Scott MacGregor founded The Outlier Project for high achievers who believe in collaboration over competition. Members join curated events, virtual gatherings and thought leadership sessions that put authenticity and gratitude at the heart of leadership. There are small group discussions, live Q&As with top leaders and resources for professional and personal growth. Mentorship and service initiatives let members give back.
Who pays and why
Entrepreneurs, executives and changemakers who want meaningful relationships, not networking. They want to grow as leaders in a space built on gratitude and service. They pay for curated events, small group discussions, live Q&As with leaders and service projects.
Where the members come from
Public Circle discovery copy and Scott MacGregor's listing appear to be the front door. Linked social proof on the page is thin, so growth reads as brand-and-listing led rather than a giant media funnel. Exact audience sizes are not shown on the page.
What's holding it back
A high monthly fee for a values-led network needs visible returns, and the page names no speakers, schedule or member outcomes. Gratitude and service are hard to price.
Steal this
Build service projects into a premium network, so members bond by giving rather than only by selling.
Would this work in another niche?
Yes for founders, physicians or nonprofit leaders. Weak for early-career audiences.
