"You don't need to be a coach to be a Source."What makes a Source
Sources
Sources are people worth sitting down with.
A Source brings knowledge, craft, perspective, taste, access, or lived experience worth learning from in real life.
You know something the city would make time for. A subject you can teach, a skill you can sharpen, or a story that opens someone's thinking. SEYA is curating its first NYC Sources now.
Trusted places
Purposeful encounters in the city's most vibrant spaces.
We've curated coffee shops, public places, and creative corners as your meeting ground. Familiar, public, designed for conversation.
For venue owners: SEYA brings thoughtful guests a new reason to choose your space.

Sources complete identity checks before any listing goes live.
