This time, I spotted a Trail Guide out in the wild. 🌲🥾 @Jean Day McCarthy I was scrolling Facebook when The Digital Trail Guide popped into my feed through one of Skool's Growth Boost ads. I have to admit, I'm having way too much fun playing this game. 😂 One of the things I love about Skool is that there are so many unique communities serving different people in different ways. Every time one shows up in my feed, it's a reminder that real people are out there building, teaching, guiding, and creating impact. So here's another official I Spy a Skoolologist sighting. 👀 Who else has been showing up in your feed lately? Drop a screenshot below if you spot another Skoolologist in the wild. Let's celebrate our fellow builders and community leaders. 🚀 #ISpyASkoolologist

What's a 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 that you held strongly a year ago 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁? We've put together a series of questions we plan to ask every successful Skool owner we come across, so we figured we'd go ahead and start a thread here, since this group already includes some incredible community owners. Let's hear the harsh truth. The lessons that actually move you forward usually come from the things that went wrong, not the things that went right. As Henry Ford put it, the only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. So don't hold back on the mistakes and missteps. I'll go first and put myself out there, since it's only fair that I'm vulnerable before asking the same of you. Drop your mistakes and missteps below. That's where the real value is for everyone reading.

Welcome to Skoolology, @Steve Webb. It's great to have you here. Growing your own community takes real heart, and it sounds like you bring something especially valuable to it: a genuine curiosity about what is actually working and why. A lot of people run on gut feeling alone, so it's refreshing to meet someone who wants to understand what truly moves people, what keeps them coming back, and where the real impact is happening. That instinct to look closer and turn hunches into something you can see clearly is going to serve your community well, and you will find plenty of people here who think the same way. So settle in and make yourself at home. We are so glad you found your way to us, Steve, and we are looking forward to watching what you build.

Was scrolling Facebook and look who showed up in my feed today... @Christy Keeter ! 🎉 Looks like Skool's Growth Boost ads are putting her community in front of new people. Pretty cool to see one of our own showing up "in the wild." Congratulations, Christy! Love seeing fellow community builders getting visibility and growing their reach. 💙

Welcome to Skoolology, @Jacob Luke. It's a real pleasure to have you here. You have already started a community and shown up for it day after day, and that experience gives you a strong foundation to build on as we focus on the part you came for: growth. You know your members better than anyone, so think of this place as the room you step into when you want a second set of eyes, a fresh tactic, or honest feedback on what is and isn't working. Whether you are lifting engagement, bringing in new members, or turning quiet lurkers into active regulars, there are people here who have wrestled with the same things and are glad to share what they learned. We are genuinely glad you are here, Jacob, and we are looking forward to watching your community grow. Donna & Todd
