Something happened last week that damn near got a tear out of me.

I was sitting at my desk, staring at my screen, about to close my laptop for the day, when I got a text from my developer who was fixing an issue found during beta testing:

“It’s ready. I reviewed the bugs you found, and it’s good to go.”

Those words hit like a freight train after 14 months of me building, tweaking, scrapping, rebuilding, pulling my hair out, and questioning if I had completely lost my mind.

CreateOS, the system I’ve been obsessively building, was finally ready.

And in a couple of days, I’m opening it up to 100 people (more details on that in a minute).

But first, I owe you some context and a bit of honesty about where Create and Go is headed...

Big Changes (Like, Really Big)

First of all, I just wanted to say thank you for your continued support over the years. There have been a LOT of changes in the last 2-3 years, and this particular change marks our biggest pivot yet.

For a little behind-the-scenes summary, Lauren has officially “retired” from Create & Go after nearly 9 years. She just had her first baby (the cutest guy ever!) and decided that now was the best time to start a new chapter in her life, and I couldn’t be happier for her!

I, Noah, am now the sole owner at Create & Go, although Lauren remains in an advisory role, and I plan on building out my team more in the coming months as well, now that our foundation is solidified and we have our direction made clear on helping overwhelmed creators and knowledge workers turn their messy ideas, habits, and personal data into systems they can use to grow and scale a digital business, without burning out.

Which brings me to what’s been happening behind the curtain…

The Quick Summary (Before I Go Deeper)

1. A year ago, we moved from a multiple-course model to a single-course model on ​Kajabi​ and introduced Six-Figure Blog Builder with all new updated modules. While we liked this change, I wanted to do MORE to ensure student success.
2. Now, in a few days, I'll be introducing CreateOS, the complete implementation system I’ve been developing that gives you the actual TOOLS to build and manage your creator business (not just the knowledge and strategy) all in one place.
3. We’ve launched a new community called The Creator Club, focused on the C-R-E-A-T-E framework, systems, implementation, and actual results, where we can all build together.
4. We launched our new website and the entire Create and Go rebrand! (The new website is live now although we're still finalizing a few changes)

That’s a lot to take in, I know. But I promise it’s worth it.

Let me break it down for you.

Why I Burned Down Our Old Business Model

The course model has been very good to us over the years. Between ​Teachable​ and ​Kajabi​, Create and Go has made over $3 million selling online courses, and our students have made even more doing the same.

But here’s the brutal truth I’ve been wrestling with:

I kept seeing people buy courses and not implement the knowledge.

People would get excited, dive in, and then get stuck in that dreaded “content consumption” loop. Learning more, implementing less.

Feeling busy but making minimal progress.

I know this feeling all too well. I’ve bought plenty of courses that are now collecting digital dust.

The problem wasn’t the information. The problem was the system.

Courses are amazing at transferring knowledge, but terrible at forcing implementation.

And I realized: I don’t want to sell more knowledge. I want to sell more results.

I want you to actually build the damn business you want. Not just learn how it's done in theory.

What I Did Instead

I set out to build something I couldn’t find anywhere else:

A complete “operating system” for creator businesses. A digital vault that would actually organize all the chaos of running a creator business into one central, systematic place.

I wanted to take everything I’d learned and distill it into a system anyone could use.

Not just theory. Not just lessons.

An actual working system.

At first, I thought it would take a few weeks. I was so, so wrong.

It took over a year of obsessive work, testing, scrapping, and rebuilding.

Introducing CreateOS.

It’s not just another course on what to do, it’s the actual system for HOW to do it:

• 6-Folder System: A pre-built digital workspace that organizes every area of your business
• 50+ Templates: For everything from content planning to audience building to product creation
• Command Center Dashboards: Visual control panels for different parts of your business
• The CREATE Framework: Built directly into the templates and workflows
• Full Documentation: Detailed setup guides and implementation instructions
• 12+ workshops (and more to come) for implementing what you learn
• AI Integration and Compatibility: Open your favorite AI models right in your notes

And I’ve spent the last year not just building it, but USING it to run Create & Go and manage my entire life.

I'll be sending a complete walkthrough of it as we approach the launch this week, and I can't wait to show you how I use it.

But Wait, There’s More… (The New Community)

People might be struggling to finish courses at a high rate, but I don’t think courses are dead at all.

Instead, I think that community-based courses with implementation tools are the new golden standard, and while communities have always been an afterthought for Create & Go, we plan to change that DRASTICALLY for the rest of 2025 and moving into the future.

People want more real-time interaction and support, and as someone who personally thrives much better in this kind of environment than left to my own devices, I’m excited about this shift.

It's my firm belief that as AI continues to infiltrate more and more spaces on the internet that communities will become even more vital for connection.

So alongside CreateOS, we’re also launching The Creator's Club, a community and resource hub for creators building with intention.

The Creator's Club will be a low-cost option for those who have the drive but just want the accountability and resources needed to reach success faster.

• Behind-the-scenes updates of running the business and insights that my clients pay thousands for (I also have a little sneak peek coming in the next few weeks related to this as well, I think y'all will LOVE)
• AI resources, including prompts, AI agent configurations, and templates that save me hours per week
• Regular workshops on implementing the C-R-E-A-T-E Framework
• Guest expert sessions on specialized topics
• A community of creators building real, intentional businesses

This pivot hasn’t been easy, but it became very clear to me that both I and the Create & Go audience needed something totally new and fresh. A new chapter to navigate this crazy landscape of AI content and distribution, and the ever-growing and evolving creator economy.

Limited Spots for the First 100 People

So here’s the deal:

For this initial launch, I’m only opening CreateOS to 100 people.

Why?

Because I want to provide hands-on support to the first large group of creators who implement this system. I want to hear your feedback, help you customize it for your specific needs, and ensure you get results. I want this to feel like one-on-one coaching. Because the BEST a

When we open it again (likely in a few months), it will have even more features, and the price will increase.

But for now, here’s what you need to know:

• CreateOS launches in a couple of days at 12 PM EST and will run until the first 100 spots are sold
• Only 100 spots are available for now
• Special launch price: $157 (That's 60% off the official price it will be of $297)
• Includes full access to special modules and course material on personal data management as well as Creator Club membership

Keep an eye out for tomorrow’s email, where I’ll break down exactly how CreateOS works and how it compares to other systems out there.

If you have any questions, just reply to this email. I’m reading every response.

P.S. This feels like the start of something big. The creator economy is changing, and I believe the future belongs to those who build with intention, not just attention.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey!
