UnrivaledMCG · Active, Development Ongoing

UnrivaledMCG, the Learning Platform We Built Ourselves.

UnrivaledMCG is the learning platform of Mashman Consulting Group. Self-paced programs built on the Identity Positioning™ methodology give consulting clients, and anyone building a personal brand, more to work with between sessions and beyond them. It is home to a growing body of rich material on the method, and it runs on software MCG built and owns.

  • One sign-in, no password
  • Five kinds of lesson content
  • Profiles for every member
  • Zero AI grading
Who It Is For

One Platform, Three Audiences.

Consulting moves faster when the reading, the exercises, and the reference material are ready whenever a client is. The same platform serves the public and trains the people who deliver the method.

01 · Clients

MCG Consulting Clients

Everything you work on with your consultant, available between sessions and after them. The Resource Library is included for every MCG client, programs your consultant opens are matched to where your brand is going, and discussion under every program is answered by the people doing the work.

Your way in

Open the invitation your consultant sends; it signs you in with one click.

Sign In (opens in a new tab)
02 · Anyone

Anyone Building a Personal Brand

You do not need to be a client. Public programs, some free and some paid, take the Identity Positioning™ method further than the free tools do. They are self-paced, built on Personal Branding: A Manifesto on Fame and Influence lesson by lesson, and end in a record of completion.

Your way in

Browse the public programs. Free ones open at once.

03 · The Team

The MCG Team

The same platform trains the people who deliver the method: every public program and the Resource Library, plus internal training that clients never see. Consultants invite their own clients and can see that each invitation was used. Access follows each person's role.

Your way in

Sign in with your MCG email. Your role decides what opens.

A Profile of Your Own.

Every member, and everyone on the MCG team, can keep a profile on UnrivaledMCG: a photo, a one-line marketing message, a short about, and links to everywhere else you are. It shows beside your posts in program discussions, and a consultant's profile shows on their clients' portals, so clients always know who they are working with.

  • An address of your own. learn.identitypositioning.com/u/yourname, chosen by you: three to thirty letters, numbers, or single hyphens.
  • A photo, made square. Cropped and resized on your device before it is sent, then checked on the server.
  • Links that are checked. Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and a podcast. Type @yourname and it becomes the link; a link for a platform has to point to that platform.
  • Members only, or public. Members only unless you choose public, when anyone with the address can see it. Either way it is never indexed by search engines, and your email is never shown.
  • Yours to take down. Taking a profile down, or deleting your account, frees the address and deletes the photo.

Why We Built Our Own

We Could Have Rented a Platform. We Built One Instead.

Off-the-shelf course software was the obvious route, and MCG weighed it. A rented platform would have meant another login, another place for client material to live, and someone else's rules about how the method is taught. So UnrivaledMCG was built in-house, on the same technology hub as the Brand Audit, the free tools, and the team's own software at identitypositioning.com. Owning it is what made the following possible.

One Hub

Where the Rest of the Work Lives

The platform shares its site, its functions, and its storage with the Brand Audit, the twelve free tools, and the client portals. A client's programs, profile, files, and plan sit beside the instruments that measure their progress.

One Sign-In

No Passwords to Forget

Members sign in with their email: a six-digit code or a one-time link, no password. Team roles come from the same roster the MCG team already uses, so a consultant's access follows their role automatically.

The Method's Own Words

Programs, Not Courses

The platform speaks MCG's vocabulary: programs, modules, and lessons, and a record of completion when you finish. Never a certificate: MCG sells no certifications, and the software is built not to imply one.

Scored by Rules

Quizzes Graded Against MCG's Answers

Quizzes are graded on the server against MCG's own answers. No AI grading, the same principle that keeps every Brand Audit score free of AI.

Protected Video

Video Only Members Can Play

Lesson video streams to every device through signed playback, so a program's videos play only for the members who have access to it.

Built to Grow

Nothing Waits on a Vendor

New program types, resources, and features are added as the method grows, on MCG's schedule. UnrivaledMCG is active, and development is ongoing.

Questions

Before You Sign In.

Is UnrivaledMCG self-paced?

Yes. Nothing is live and nothing is scheduled unless a program says so. Start when you like and pick up where you left off on any device.

Do I have to be an MCG client?

No. Public programs are open to anyone, some free and some paid. The Resource Library and some programs are for clients, by invitation from their consultant.

What does it cost?

Free programs cost nothing. A paid program shows its price before you buy. A program you are invited to opens with the invitation.

Do I get a certificate?

You receive a record of completion when you finish a program. MCG does not sell certifications, so it is never called a certificate.

Why did MCG build its own platform?

So the programs could live on the same technology hub as the Brand Audit, the free tools, and the client portals, with one sign-in, MCG's own vocabulary, quizzes graded against MCG's answers rather than by AI, and video only members can play. A rented course platform could not offer all of that in one place.

Can I have a profile?

Yes. Every member can keep one: a photo, a one-line marketing message, a short about, and links, at an address of your own. It shows beside your posts in discussions. Edit it under Account, or take it down at any time.

Who can see my profile?

Signed-in members, unless you make it public, when anyone with the address can see it. It is never indexed by search engines, and your email address is never shown on it.

What is the client portal?

A private page for each MCG client: the next session, the plan and milestones, consultation recordings, session summaries, files, and messages to and from your consultant, with your consultant's profile card. It opens with your engagement. See how consultations work.

Is it finished?

It is active, and development is ongoing: new programs, resources, and features are added over time.
