Just had an incredible Day 1 call with @Brian Walsh today and highly encourage anyone thinking about creating or rebooting their community to take him up on this offer! 🔥

Just told a buddy from my book club about this community and the preskool program. He briefly mentioned helping men in their 50s figure out online dating and how to re-engage women after divorce. I believe there’s quite a market for that. Will see if I can get him in here to check it out this week.

@James Blackburn I appreciate that. Any words that come to mind as an alternative? Successful? Driven? Entrepreneurial? Family-focused?

Love seeing you with your family. Quick question - since you mention 'drifting' in your bio, have you read Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill? (If not, the book specifically explores the concept of 'drifting')

@Nat Carey It’s been a while so I don’t remember it all, but the concept of drifting and hypnotic rhythm really stuck with me. Drifting is the antithesis of masculine energy, which is why I think lack of purpose weighs so heavily on men. Hypnotic rhythm points to something I’ve heard hypnotists say, which is that we’re hypnotized all day long by what’s in our unconscious. Hypnosis is less about getting hypnotized than it is about simply examining what’s already running in the background and making it more productive and helpful. The book is written as a conversation between a man and the devil, who is explaining how he entraps men. I thought it was a great vehicle for the teachings.

For me it depends. If I need quick solutions to specific problems, give me something short and specific. If I'm trying to understand new concepts or new processes, I need something longer. If you're going to help me set up Zapier to move emails from Skool to Kit, I'd like it to be under 5 minutes. Whereas last night I started watching a 3.5 hour Live Q&A with Evelyn Weiss to better understand Meta Ads, and I'd be happy to do it again. I've been really impressed with the real-time walkthrough videos in Free Skool Course by Max Perzon. The videos range from 30 mins to 90 mins and there are 11 of them in the course, but it's not too much.

I think the video you shared is great and that the music was a great addition to help capture the vibe of what you were sharing. My immediate thought was that the use of music could be a good emotional hook for your messaging - that people get a moment of 'ahh' when they stop on your videos.

@Matthew Bagge For me, it could be a tad quieter, but it wasn't overwhelming. There's a guy, James Smith, who reviews people's instagram pages a lot and one of his beefs is music that's too loud. I think volume is just another variable you can play with--turn it down, turn it up, see if there's any noticeable shift in engagement. 🙏
