Jam Session 002 – Talking Retirement with Jim Eagar

This second Jam Session was super informative, with Jim sharing his wisdom and findings around retirement and how to better prepare for it. Many Labs members on the call also shared their experience. That’s exactly what jam sessions are all about!… This is a post for the MacSparky Labs Pathfinder and Insider members. Care to join? If you’re already a member, you can log in here.

New Names for MacSparky Labs Membership Levels

I’ve updated the membership level names for MacSparky Labs to better reflect what the community has become over time.

The new names are:

Member (formerly Supporter) – Being part of MacSparky Labs isn’t just about supporting the work; it’s about joining a community of people passionate about productivity and technology.

Insider (formerly Backstage) – These members get behind-the-scenes access to my workflow, thinking process, and upcoming projects. “Insider” better captures what this level actually provides.

Pathfinder (formerly Early Access) – Our most engaged members who help shape the direction of MacSparky Labs. They’re not just getting early access; they’re helping determine where we go next.

The original names—Supporter, Backstage, and Early Access—served us well in the beginning, but they felt increasingly transactional as MacSparky Labs evolved into something more collaborative and community-focused.

For existing members: Nothing else has changed. All features, benefits, and pricing remain exactly the same. These are simply new names that better represent what MacSparky Labs has grown into.
