Booking OSOff rented platforms, onto its own.
Rise Above the Herd is the flagship program from Here for the Truth, created by Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos Stilianessis. It had lived on Kajabi and on Xperiencify. Atlas rebuilt it as a platform it owns, and the same code now runs a live cohort academy and a self-guided edition.
The first cohort, in numbers.
From the Academy's own database, 31 August to 4 October 2026, the first five weeks of a 26-week cohort, 26 members, with internal and test accounts excluded.
Built on someone else's rules.
The program grew up on two hosted platforms in turn. Each worked until the teaching needed something the platform didn't do.
Kajabi and Xperiencify
Two hosted platforms, with every student's login and progress living inside a product HFTT didn't own.
The program outgrew the templates
Live calls, cohorts moving together, Human Design readings and nervous-system practices don't fit a standard course player.
A bill for every month the course exists
A program meant to run for years carried platform rent for every one of them.
A platform shaped around the teaching.
A live cohort academy and a self-guided edition run on the same code, with separate data, so improvements reach both.
Modules open on a release schedule, so the group is always on the same week.
Email reminders go out 24 hours and 1 hour before each call. Replays post automatically afterwards, and attendance is scored from the Zoom report.
Members ask questions in their own words and get answers drawn from the course itself, with a spending cap built in.
A private reflections journal, daily practice logs, nervous-system check-ins and a Living Values exercise sit alongside the lessons.
XP, streaks and a leaderboard. The longest streak in the first cohort ran 26 days.
The free 7-Day Self-Esteem Reset runs on the same platform, and it feeds the program: 10 of Rise Above the Herd's 27 members started with the free Reset.
Rise Above the Herd, answered.
Why move a course off Kajabi?
Kajabi rents you the platform, so the student logins, progress and course player stop when the subscription does, and the features are whatever Kajabi offers. Rise Above the Herd needed live cohorts, an AI companion and practices no template had, so it moved to a platform it owns.
What replaced Xperiencify?
A custom course platform built by Atlas, on Here for the Truth's own hosting and domain. It keeps Xperiencify's strength, momentum through XP and streaks, and adds cohorts, live-call automation, reflections and an AI companion.
Can one platform run a live cohort and a self-paced course?
Yes. Rise Above the Herd runs both from one codebase. The live academy adds a release schedule and live calls through its data; without them, the same code runs self-paced.
How do members log in?
With their email. They get a login link and a short code, so there are no passwords to forget.
Has your course outgrown its platform?
