​Hey! Thanks again for your patience while I paused memberships.

After much thought and discussion, I am ending Trapital's paid membership in its current form. You will receive a partial (or full) refund as of June 12, the date of the last member update. I know, you may be bummed out! I understand. I'll write a deeper post with much more context soon, but here's the high level.

First, I am going to spend more time working with clients in a higher-touch capacity. I am excited to work directly with those who are taking hip-hop to new heights.

Second, as some of you know, I plan to build a different product. The Trapital membership you signed up for has followed the freemium $10 month / $100 year​format that's quite common in today's newsletters. I've had both pros and cons in my experience with it. There's a better opportunity to take Trapital's premium offering in a new direction—specifically for the decision-makers who benefit most from these insights and resources. I'm excited about this, but I need more time, and would love to hit a few email subscriber milestones before it launches.

Instead of rolling over existing members, it makes more sense to start fresh. To process the memberships ending, you'll receive a prorated refund on your membership as of June 12, the last day I sent a Trapital member update. If you signed up for a membership after that date, you will receive a full refund.

Thanks again for your continued support! This wasn't an easy decision, but pivots are sometimes needed. I'm excited about the future for Trapital, and you should be too.
