I'm genuinely curious your take on using Skool. I'm in circle, Whop, Discord, Whatsapp, custom platforms and Skool groups. With this one, there's some things I like some things that grind my gears. Curious your thoughts 👇

Evening, Quick one as I took a nice family day today. After yesterday's workshop with Evergreen Ads, I've seen a clear distinction in the market: 1. People who know how to use AI to build offers, checkout pages, email sequences, reply to support emails, launch ads etc can truly Productize Themselves and thrive as a solo or lean business. 2. Agencies & high-ticket coaches are gatekeeping their Claude skills like they're sacred resources. 3. It's more important to understand how to apply AI to your business rather than knowing how to use it. I personally love this evolution because I can now get out of my own way to actually focus on the three things that matter most: - Acquisition (getting leads and buyers) - Conversion (turning leads and buyers into clients) - LTV (increasing the amount each client gives you) But most importantly, it allows me to simply train an agent that will work for you following my exact instructions instead of teaching you the ins and outs of how to do something. A great example of this was a client who came in wanting to launch offers. I handed him our Funnel Engine and, in his words, "my brain unlocked" because he could get Claude to set up the pages, pixels, checkouts and email sequences. He went from being stuck to getting an offer up to 12 buyers a day. Most software and tools were created for humans. I'm building things so you can use that Claude or Chatgpt account to the fullest. At first, I was thinking I would gatekeep this Funnel Engine just for private clients. But I realized giving more away often leads to great clients. So I decided to create a new lower-cost way to get every single one of these as I build them. Perfect for someone that wants the tools and workshops... ...a great way to get your feet wet if you want to see what it's like working together more closely. All the details to lock in the founding member rate are here. And by the way, this entire funnel was created with Claude using The Funnel Engine when I said, "build this checkout, the video is in Descript."

Hi, I currently have a Podia account, but I can't pilot it with AI (OpenClaw). I wish to build an AI-based business. 1. I get that I can publish sales pages created via Claude code & host on Netlify - so no need for a website. 2. I can use services like Resend 3. But for the course and community, I'm struggling. I've looked around for a course-hosting website to find none. Any suggestion?

A lot of folks were asking why I ripped out GHL and wanted to reply The philosophy of why I'm doing this is very simple: 1. Let humans focus on the 5% of things that actually move the needle in the business (content, voice, the fun deep work) 2. Let AI do the stuff we don't want to do (funnel building, automations, tech, transcribing videos for the learning platform, setting up ads, running CRO & Split tests, replying to "pressing" DM's etc). This is why I told my team that our goal every year is to drop 70% of what they're doing and hand it off to AI. The core reason GHL or any platform didn't work anymore is because it was built for humans, not AI. The future vision I see as AI models getting better and better is I simply record content and AI self optimizes rolling out new sales pages, split tests, ads and content based on performance and what I'm creating. Think big AI brain doing the work. Now to be clear in the current state of where we are... I'm not saying AI can just do "everything" at a level that it works. Some of the ads it wrote me were absolutely horrific. When I said "build an offer" with zero direction, it sucked! But I would rather spend an hour in Claude Design building our offer out that can scale to 6 figures a month vs working with a funnel designer going back and forth for weeks. Easy peasy. It also changes the work from "exhaustion" to play. Which is why I decided I'm going to open up a few 1-on-1 spots next week. To personally work with you to install my agents in your biz so you can bolt on an extra 30K/month in a few hours per week without taking calls. If you want the details when the offer is live, reply back with "1-on-1" and I'll send them your way next week. Zac P.S Only for folks with established offers who want to scale to 100K/month in profit with a very lean team.

​Hi guys, ​I'm currently streamlining my tech and marketing infrastructure across my two core brands (mariogiglio and strategos). ​My goal is to completely replace GoHighLevel (GHL) by switching to a modern, decoupled, and MCP-native stack that I can build and orchestrate directly via AI coding agents (Claude Code / Cursor), while moving 100% to annual billing to eliminate recurring monthly friction and reduce software overhead by roughly $1,800/year. ​Here is the exact architectural blueprint I'm implementing: 1. ​Frontend & CMS: Framer (Pro Annual per site) - ​Delivers superior UI/UX, top-tier page speed performance (Core Web Vitals), full design flexibility, and dynamic CMS for landing pages, resources, and articles. - ​Email Delivery & Audience CRM: Beehiiv (Scale Annual) - ​Native multi-publication setup allowing me to manage two separate brands/lists (Mario and Strategos) with isolated sending domains, automations, and audience tagging under a single account. - ​Checkout & Upsells: GoCushy - ​MCP-native checkout layer handling digital products, courses, order bumps, and 1-click upsell/downsell funnels, connected to Stripe/PayPal. - ​Integration & Data Routing Layer: Cloudflare Workers (Serverless) - ​Lightweight worker receiving GoCushy webhooks upon successful checkout \rightarrow routes events to Beehiiv API (tagging customers & triggering onboarding workflows) and sends real-time Purchase events to Meta Conversions API (CAPI). ​The Question Regarding CRM & Lead Tracking: ​Since I don't run a high-volume cold-calling sales team, an enterprise CRM isn't strictly necessary. However, I still want a clean pipeline to track lead stages, identify high-intent prospects, and separate active customers from non-buyers. ​I’m currently deciding between: - ​Option 1 (Custom Headless): Building a lightweight custom pipeline using Supabase + Next.js, integrated directly with Claude Code via the Supabase MCP Server (allowing me to query, segment, and update leads in natural language). - ​Option 2 (Open Source / Low-Cost Tool): Deploying a self-hosted or modern lightweight CRM like Twenty CRM or Attio. -
