Chris Voss is a master negotiator. And until now, his fans had the usual ways to learn from him — through books, online courses, and social media.

But now Voss — a former FBI hostage negotiator and author of the best-selling book — has added a new, more interactive way to teach his skills: He’s launching a streaming ““. It’s a live, interactive video channel, where subscribers can join group coaching sessions, prepare for upcoming negotiations, and win one-on-one sessions with Voss himself.

In doing so, Voss is adding a new spin on a movement being embraced by experts, influencers, creators: launching their own the private, online communities.

“It doesn’t disrupt anything on social or in terms of traditional media,” says Voss, in explaining why a streaming network made sense in his ecosystem. “It is instead acting as our central hub for our audience to be able to engage in a two-way fashion and take our learnings from our books, masterclass, and social posts to the next level.”

Personalities are launching interactive spaces on a wide variety of platforms, like and , as they look to engage and monetize the audiences they’ve built. Voss’s network is being hosted on , a platform founded by serial entrepreneur Falon Fatemi and Mark Cuban, which also hosts interactive streaming services with personalities including clairvoyant and reality TV star .

Voss’s network is called the , and it costs $999 a year. It’s an outgrowth of his negotiation consulting firm, , and the network’s video sessions will heavily feature the coaches from his company — though Voss and his V.I.P. guests will also appear monthly, and members can win one-on-one coaching with Voss and his team.

Voss says he expects the network to reach a wide range of people who need to negotiate every day — including executives, salespeople, real estate agents, recruiters, entrepreneurs, investors, and more. “It specifically targets those who wish to enhance their workplace negotiation skills,” he says.
