Ben Franklin had a meetup club he called a junto [0] that he claimed was really helpful to him.
I tried it with some of my work colleagues and it was super helpful but it was hard to keep together. It was good to be able to work through ideas and share good approaches.
However, it’s more of a mutual benefit society and don’t think it would work for pay as the incentives would be off. With the junto, each member is trying to learn and teach. For pay, the incentive shifts to some are trying to learn and some are trying to sell memberships.
