$165: How much the Creativity Workshops costs. “The event cost $165, and promised lunch, teaching sessions with Calloway, customized care packages, personal letters, and fresh orchid crowns — most of which Calloway did not deliver.

So helpful. Also so much is missing. It would be great if you could sent up a submission link for people to contribute. Examples of missing content: The grid, smolbean, adventurefam/adventurescam, Eat Your Greens kiddos, Birch, Adderall addiction, SMBFC, typos are my brand, the list goes on.
You left off SMBFC lol
Yes there is so much that could be added to this. It is a wonderful guide but please may it expand!
