The Community for Ambitious Creators Taking Bold Action
Ever felt lonely, uncertain, or held back by fear on your creator journey?
Get the strategies, insight, and support you need to succeed.
Ready to transform your business, your life, and yourself?
No One is Helping You Navigate the Psychological Side of How to Succeed as a Creator
Things like:
- Dealing with burnout when you work for yourself and are always "on"
- Navigating the fear, self-doubt, or insecurity that comes with this path
- Defining what "enough" is so you stop endlessly chasing "more"
- How to avoid building a business that becomes a gilded cage you hate
- Diving into how to unlock innovation and unleash your deepest creativity
- What it means to fully show up and embrace your most authentic self
That's what we do in the Creator Alchemy Lab.
Yes, we talk about business because our members are business owners (or professionals pivoting into entrepreneurship).
Yes, we talk about creativity because our members create content to share their insights, experiences, and expertise with the world.
But most of what we do is dive into the psychological, philosophical, and existential aspects of what it means to be a creator.
So you can unlock your full potential and succeed on your terms (in life and in business).
The Creator Alchemy Lab is For You If You Want to...
- Scale your income and impact in a values-aligned way
- Build an authentic personal brand reputation
- Navigate fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty
- Learn to avoid or recover from burnout
- Unlock your unique creativity
- Do the work only you can do
"It's like 80% personal development and 20% business strategy."
Because most of the time, you don't need to learn more about business—you need to learn more about yourself, what you want, how to make it a reality, what's holding you back, and what it takes to unlock your full potential.
That's what we do in the Creator Alchemy Lab, because we're a community for ambitious creators taking bold action to transform our businesses, our lives, and ourselves.
And we'd love to have you.
If you know you've got too much potential to let yourself and your impact stay small.
Â
If you believe more people need your insights, your ideas, and your inspiration.

The Creator Alchemy Lab is designed for creators like you.

Hey, I'm Dr. Corey Wilks
I'm a psychologist by training, but transitioned to helping the Creator Economy through coaching in 2020.
I've coached VC-backed founders, CEOs, 7-figure creators, and bootstrapped entrepreneurs across industries (AI, CPG, tech, media, etc.).
You may have seen me on Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn, Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson, or The Pathless Path with Paul Millerd.Â
I believe too many people die regretting not having done more with their lives.
Time is our most precious resource—it’s the one thing we can never get more of once it’s gone.
Everything I do is about helping creators like you reach their potential and make the most of the time they have left.
And I've worked with companies and communities like:
- Write of Passage
- Mighty Networks
- Brand Deal Wizard
- Creator Science Lab
- Copyblogger Academy
- Kit (formerly ConvertKit)
- $100K YouTuber Academy
- UVA Darden's Venture Velocity Program
- The Building a Second Brain Community
- Ali Abdaal's Part-Time YouTuber Academy
I'm also a contributor for Psychology Today, where hundreds of thousands of people around the world have read my content exploring the psychology of human flourishing, fulfillment, and what gets in our way.
I also write a free newsletter where I explore the psychology of how to succeed in life and business.
I’ve spent the last 16+ years studying psychology and helping people overcome obstacles, reach their potential, and build a fulfilling life and thriving business.
I'd love to help you do the same.Â
What Thought Leaders in the Creator Space Have to Say About Me and My Work
"I really appreciate your work. I really appreciate the input that you’ve got. I appreciate the insight that you bring as well. I like the fact that you’re bridging the clinical with the coaching side, too."
- Chris Williamson
Entrepreneur
"... A masterclass on your mindset."
- Pat Flynn
Entrepreneur
"I think you’re one of the most thoughtful people in helping people navigate the metagame of what we’re doing. I can only imagine where you’re headed ... I’m so pumped to see where you go with all this stuff. I want people to check out your stuff and definitely support you."
- Paul Millerd
Entrepreneur
"...Incredibly insightful. What sets Corey apart is his ability to connect the psychological roots of fear to everyday challenges in content creation...He doesn’t just address surface-level productivity tips; he goes deeper into understanding the fears that prevent us from publishing and iterating."
Â
- Julia Saxena
Director of Marketing at Forte Labs
 "Your knowledge of psychology really shows and has given me a lot of insight. The way you talk is super conversational and makes me feel like I’m talking to a human, not being lectured to. Thank you for the thoughtfulness you put into your answers. I endorse what you do 100%."
- Dakota Robertson
Entrepreneur, Growth Ghost
"I've had the privilege of following Corey's journey and taking a few of his workshops. Corey is the real deal. His Four Horsemen of Fear framework (specifically fear of success) completely transformed the way I operate in my life and business. If you get a chance to work with Corey, take it."
