In episode 22 of the Rave Results podcast, I’m digging into the pros, cons, and strategies around capping enrollments for group programs. If you’ve ever wondered whether keeping your cohort sizes small—like around 10 students—is the right move, I’ve got you covered. I’ll be sharing insights from my group offers survey, where I gathered feedback on average enrollment sizes, plus my own experiences running both capped and uncapped programs.


We’ll explore the benefits and drawbacks of smaller cohorts, tackle common fears about larger groups, and I’ll share how to structure live calls and offer high-touch support without burning out. You’ll also learn how to scale your program while still providing a high-quality experience for every participant.
