Thank you to everyone who attended our first independently hosted Skool IRL event in LA. Stacy flew in from Vegas. @Michelle McMillionairess and @Louis Pendley drove up from San Diego. @Rositsa Aleksandrova and @Jay Hanan graced us with their beautiful piano playing. @Tanya Miramontes left her baby at home to join us. We gathered at my home, in front of a fire place and around a table of delicious snacks. We opened by introducing ourselves, sharing our wins and goals, and asking for support around what we need to reach our goals in 2026. As your co-mayers @Brennan Thompson and I prepared talks and exercises around focus and intention setting, and the conversation quickly moved into mindset, inspiration, and the inner work we all need to do to align ourselves with our dreams. The event was scheduled for 2-5 PM. It lasted for over 6 hours! If you were at this IRL, let us know the highlights and any suggestions you have for Brennan and myself. Here's a video summary of the event. Enjoy! Hope to see you at the next one!

Thank you @Brennan Thompson for your talk on building a business with purpose. Thank you @Ellie Shoja for leading us through the intention alignment exercise. Thank you @Jay Hanan for your creative piano playing. Thank you @Michelle McMillionairess for the delicious lentil soup (I need to get that recipe from you!). I had a great time getting to know everyone and hearing everyone’s thoughts and perspectives. It was the perfect gathering to get ready for the new year and can’t wait for the next one. (@Ellie Shoja, if you see a water bottle left behind on the floor, that was me. I’ll have to get it next time! 😉)

Our next LA IRL event is officially on the calendar! We'll be meeting on Saturday, December 13 at 2-5PM for coffee, snacks, fun, and new years intentions. @Brennan Thompson and I hope that all of you will be able to attend!

Hello LA Skoolers! I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Ellie, your co-mayor of LA (serving you alongside @Brennan Thompson). As your mayors, we're here to keep the momentum and magic of IRL going, so we can all learn from each other, feel inspired, and start the new year with some winning energy for our communities. With the holidays and the end of the year upon us, what type of in person event would you like for us to plan. Take the poll and share your thoughts.

Thanks to all of you who were so kind today. I didn’t have a chance to meet everyone, but everyone I met was impressive in individual ways and so kind. You instill hope in LA’s future. @Goose Dunlavey 🪿 @Russell Newman 🚀 @Atena Pegler 🤖 @Rositsa Aleksandrova🎹 @Erika Kulpina 💪 @MaryAlice Turletes 💄 @Stacy Oros 🍩 @Savannah Hall 🛬 @Michelle McMillionairess 🎉 @Yahya Kazi 🌭 @Ethan Simons 🧔‍♂️ I may not have caught some of your names (at least 2 of you).
