Welcome to the Path of the Dragon warriors. Upon coming across this community, and seeing the energy and inspiration it brings, it is clear that the Path of the Dragon resonates with all of us deeply. People can share their vulnerable stories and reflections, and collaborate with fellow skoolers to create big internal transformations in themselves. This had me thinking what Path of the Dragon means to @Mark X, the founder of this community. So I asked him and attached his answer here 😉🤺🛡️🍰 So I am curious, what does Path of the Dragon mean to you? You can respond with a quote too if you'd like, no wrong answers.

Yesterday I saw a video of Lukas talking about his Network Challenge for his community The Game. I am also in a Blitz challenge with @Nathaniel Parant in Goosify and would love to create a shared community challenge for us! The key is to find the sweet spot between boredom and overwhelm! This is where feel our best and perform our best. We don't want complicated plans. We just want to support each other on our fitness and health journey in a fun way. So let's find a shared goal to which we can all contribute. A few ideas popped into my head while I LIVE streamed a combined 32 hours over the weekend, but I want to hear from you! If we crowdsource this challenge, we can make it the best on Skool. A challenge where everyone in the community can contribute and where we can help each other grow. What challenge would you like to do?

Time to decide! After a myriad of wonderful suggestions, we now have the following options. Don't worry about difficulty. We will have three tiers so no matter where you are in the journey, you will enjoy the challenge. 🟢Easy 🟡Medium 🔴Hard Let’s vote!

I discovered this community 1 day ago and joined immediately. I'm a serial Skooler specializing in helping non-native speakers speak fluent English. And I found myself in this situation: I enjoy skool, healthy food & helping people. Now I want to start enjoying exercising more. I wanna get ripped like our handsome host @Mark X. And for this post I cooked my favourite meal of the day – the one that I look forward to daily... 🐣 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞. Eggs, butter and salt. Simple, yet powerful fuel. Nice to meet you all! So pumped for stepping on the Path of the Dragon.

LIVE streaming has been wonderful. I optimized the time-to-first-video-connection metric to the absolute maximum. But I also opened myself and the community to attack. Just when I was wrapping up my day and was going to bed, with my eyelids heavy and legs sore, one person had prepared to use LIVE as a way to directly sell to me. It was clear from the very start that he wasn't here for the community. Despite fatigue, I did my smoking nunchucks show for him, and gave him a warm welcome. He made his first move. He questioned immediately, asking me the purpose and meaning behind what I do. He started to frame my identity as somebody who needed to monetize my members right now. I am fine with monetization and I'm absolutely a believer of beautiful money. But he never talked anything about Path of the Dragon. That pissed me off. I would not criticize him on LIVE call, because any negative emotion I showed could have been video-taped by him and used out-of-conext. I thought I could kill him with kindness, symbolically of course When he said that I was gathering a bunch of people and trying to be a master for them, I replied that I learned from everybody, including him. After failing at framing me in a sales call interaction, he talked about his childhood dream for Shaolin monks who can do handstands with their fingers. He was trying to search for common-ground connections. I redirected the conversation back to what he had done and planned to accomplish that goal. He then moved on to talking about chess, migrating to Mars, and about owning a planet. He tried to probe information by suggesting that I looked like I was very well off. At the same time he talked about how hard it was to make money as immigrants despite US being a gold mine. Finally he asked me to join his community. I asked him how he got his members. He told me he paid for members. He paused for my reaction. He then said it was ads. But I suspect that he really meant bots and was trying to see if I was interested. And when I showed disinterest, he then tried to play it cool and lied about real human beings in the group.
