Outstanding, comprehensive, highly-functional practice and growth management tool. It seems to do all the things, and then some.

I've spent the morning going through LeaderJam in detail. The interface is confusing in places, has overlapping functionality, and it can be tricky to find what you want. It's well worth the time to explore, however. It seems to be a real diamond in the rough. I'm glad to get in on the ground floor, because once it's polished, I can't imagine they'll do another lifetime deal.

This is a very comprehensive tool for running a coaching/training firm I've seen, with unique features that I haven't found anywhere else.

You can manage an entire practice here: taking 1-on-1 coaching clients, running group workshops, producing multi-presenter events, or having broadcast webinar-type events. Zoom is built-in so the quality is excellent.

The system can handle payments from clients by connecting it to a Stripe account. You can schedule events that have a set time (webinars, events, workshops) in advance. They show up on your landing page as upcoming programs. There's also a built-in calendar scheduler for things like coaching sessions that are scheduled at the behest of your clients.

You can use this as a single-user system, but you also have the capability to add instructors, so you can smoothly scale from a solo business to having "under trainers" who deliver your material. While I don't yet need this, bringing in trainers is on my own business growth path, and this is a tool will make that possible without effort.

Some of the less immediately apparent features:

- You can create "chat circles"--group chats--that are associated with a single client, a particular course, or just a general global chat. When running multiple courses, at the same time, this eliminates the need to set up facebook groups or give over my client/class list to some third party chat provider. It's all integrated directly into LeaderJam.

- There's a content library that can serve as a repository for your course materials. You can then pull those materials into any given course as you create it. It also lets you bookmark websites as student resources and integrate those into your courses as well.

- "Generate AI" (poorly named, but wait...) Being 2024, there's an obligatory AI hub that helps you design courses, create sales copy,. Yada yada yada. BUT ... buried in the "AI Hub" is a little feature called "Generate AI." It doesn't generate, however, it finds. You enter a topic and it finds articles and videos about the topic. In playing with it, it seemed to find high-quality sources, as well (e.g. Harvard Business Review).

I can use this for course creation, for gathering student materials for a course, and for quickly finding and vetting content relevant to my email list subscribers. Of all the AI tools, in the "AI Hub," it's the one that I haven't seen anywhere else.

- The financial management screens appear to break down revenue in many different ways, allowing you to understand where your revenue and profit are coming from. Since I haven't yet run any programs, I can't see the screens in action, but for practice management, they save me the hassle of paying a bookkeeper to sort out my income by type (workshop, keynote speech, coaching client) when understanding my business's profitability.

I'm giving five stars based on functionality, while assuming they'll gradually work out the UI tweaks. It really has the ability to handle many aspects of my business, and is far more comprehensive than past AppSumo practice management deals I've tried (e.g. Kyvio).

I'm looking forward to using it now, and as I expand my business from 1-on-1 coaching to full-fledged training with multiple trainers.
