There is no free lunch Austen. Are you seriously saying that as Lambda scales the cost of this “service” will not be passed on to the students?

Literally all our costs will eventually be passed on to the students, but this is something we're adding without changing pricing at all

Why are therapy and coaching treated differenly? Any good therapist can coach (and should be the only ones coaching), so it’s redundant.

Coaches and therapists are licensed differently

This is fantastic @Austen. Bravo for your continued leadership. Has this been in the works for Lambda? Or are you responding to the recent study from Mind Share Partners identifying that 75% of Gen Z employees have left their jobs due to mental health complications?

I applaud you for experimenting. If it doesn’t work out, here’s an idea: offer payment forgiveness (or a discount) to students who realize they’re not cut out for the skill they’re learning. If you’re worried about mental health, that’s a huge relief for the student.

Our entire model is based on that. If you are in the US and you don’t get a job in the field you’re studying in you never pay anything. And if you leave the school there’s a pro-rated refund policy even on the income share agreement that only applies if you get that job.

This tweet reads a bit dishonest for me. It is providing 6 life coach visits and potentially 6 therapist visits for students who qualify. The students will have to pay out of pocket after those visits.

With unlimited chat communication and a deeply discounted rate for those out of pocket costs. If you’re going to call it out, play fair.
