Planning out an 8-week Accelerator for 2026... And it got me thinking. What an interesting time we live in... AI, market uncertainty, founder pivots, overwhelm, and more opportunity in the business landscape than ever. But that's not my main "focus" for 26. This is the year I'm finding more of "my people". The ADHD-vibe creating "too much to handle" kinda people who prefer building a business that's fun (and impactful to others) over bro-scaling to 10M while burning out. Lots of respect to real CEO's who manage 100's of people, I could never. Some of you know, if you know... Here's the game-plan: AI is here. It's taking jobs, and creating new ones. We can either complain about it, or adapt. I've chosen to do LEARN. Spent most of 2025 learning more than I felt comfortable, and now implementing more than ever. And it FUELS me, doesn't drain me. Cause I finally found out how to CO-CREATE with AI, not over-analyse (and over-pay 37 different "latest" AI tool". I only use the ones I need. Btw here's the 8 Week Accelerator outline: 🔹 Week 1: Solopreneur + AI Business model 🔹 Week 2: Offers & Copywriting w AI 🔹 Week 3: Minimum Viable Digital Product w AI 🔹 Week 4: Launch Your Funnels w AI 🔹 Week 5: Written + Video Content w AI 🔹 Week 6: Vibe Design + Vibe Coding w AI 🔹 Week 7: Create Your Clone w AI 🔹 Week 8: Scaling Traffic w AI Plus my new FreedomOS™ for building a freedom-led business, without hiring a huge team (cause yes, we have AI) What else do you want included? What would make this a no-brainer deal for you? What are you currently either struggling with or thinking "if I could just learn this ONE thing, I know 2026 will be my best year ever"? I'm all ears. Would love to know 👇🏻 DM's are open too. Much love, G

...so I found this exercise "What's Cool About YOU" that's going to make you WAY more interesting to talk to here in our Skool Communities. Seriously. I got this from Sean Stephenson (the three-foot-tall giant, may he rest in peace)... ....and, again, it's called "What's Cool About You?" Here's the deal... ...when we meet people in Skool communities, we do the boring stuff: "I'm a course creator" or "I run a marketing agency" or whatever. YAWN. 🥱 But what if you could share the WEIRD, COOL, RANDOM stuff about yourself that actually makes people go "Wait, WHAT? Tell me more about that!" That's what this exercise does. It helps you remember (and share) the stuff you've done or experienced that you normally wouldn't mention... but which opens the door to WAY deeper, more fun, and more intellectual conversations. ...because let's be honest... nobody remembers the person who said "I do Facebook ads." But they DEFINITELY remember the person who said "I once trained myself to become #3 in the world at footbag" or "I have a street dog in India named Scooby who's in charge of 12th Road." 😂 HERE'S THE EXERCISE: Write down everything that's COOL, WEIRD, INTERESTING, or UNIQUE about YOU. Not your business accomplishments (boring). YOUR life accomplishments. YOUR quirks. YOUR stories. Some examples to get you started: - "I was a vegetarian for 25 years" (then went back to eating meat like a savage) - "At twelve years old, I won a silver medal in sailing in the Norwegian championship" - "I became one of the biggest party promoters in San Francisco" - "I pet or talk to ALL dogs I meet on the street... because I know they need love" - "I was in the Army and became the second-best dog handler... with a BRAND NEW dog that had never been trained" (the winner had a dog that had been there for 6 years... just saying 😏) Or maybe you've got stuff like: - "I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes" (okay, that's not impressive, but if it's under 30 seconds, NOW we're talking) - "I once ate 47 tacos in one sitting" (don't judge me) - "I taught myself to play ukulele during lockdown and now I annoy everyone at parties" - "I lived in a van for 6 months and loved every second of it" - "I can name every country in the world in under 5 minutes" (nerd alert)

I've been deep in studying what makes some communities thrive while others die a slow, painful death. And I discovered something controversial: The most successful groups aren't the ones with the strictest rules. ..... They're the ones where people feel safe being weird. Let me explain... Everyone talks about "staying focused" and "keeping things on topic" in online communities. But here's what I've noticed: The groups where everyone puts on their "professional mask" and only shares the "right" stuff? ....they become boring. Sterile. Transactional. ...People show up less. Engagement drops. The magic dies. But the groups where people feel free to share their quirks? Their random thoughts? Their authentic selves? Those groups become magnetic. Because here's the truth most people miss: We're not just looking for information or advice. We're looking to BELONG. To be seen. To be accepted. To drop the performance. When someone shares a "weird" hobby, admits they're struggling, or cracks a joke that has nothing to do with "the topic" ...That's when real connection happens. So here's my controversial take: Maybe we've been building communities wrong. Maybe the goal isn't to eliminate the "off-topic" stuff. Maybe the goal is to CREATE SPACE for people to be fully human first. And then the valuable business stuff follows naturally. When people feel like they truly belong, they contribute more. They engage deeper. They stay longer. Question for you: In the groups you're part of (or the ones you run) ...Do you encourage people to show their full personality? Their quirks? Their "off-brand" moments? ....Or are you trying to keep everything "professional and focused"? ...I'm genuinely curious what others think about this. Drop a comment below - especially if you think I'm completely wrong about this.
