From an outsider perspective, is your life healthier now that you are always on Skool? Or less healthy?

This is a true story. I joined Jack’s Skoolyard full of optimism, curiosity, and just enough confidence to be dangerous. Fast forward a bit and I somehow managed to: - Get banned during sprints - Get banned on (or around) live calls - Get banned when I wasn’t entirely sure what rule I’d broken. At this point, I wasn’t even surprised anymore. It became less “Oh no, I’m banned” and more “Ah yes… this again.” But here’s the thing. Despite the bans (or maybe because of them), I stuck around. Because underneath the chaos, the intensity, and the occasional digital slap on the wrist, this place: - Forces you to show up properly - Exposes lazy thinking fast - Rewards people who keep playing the long game I didn’t just learn how Skool works. I learned how I work under pressure, feedback, and accountability. And weirdly… getting banned became part of the initiation ritual. And it makes for a good story too. So yeah. Still here. Still learning. Still occasionally toeing the line. Still grateful I didn’t quietly disappear after ban #2 😅. Or even ban #20 🤪. Maybe @Evelene Sterling encouraged me to stay. Or maybe it was just to see how many bans I could actually get. We may never know. So here's a poll for the brave: What’s your Skoolyard experience so far? Drop your vote (or your ban story) below. This feels like a safe space… mostly 😄.

@Evelene Sterling has hit level 8 in the yard. She is in our community EF as well and the moment I met her I could see not only her value but genuine sweet soul. You’re the best Evelene! Didn’t take long to figure that out. Level 8! Let’s go! Every comment along the way to that 8 has been priceless for this yard culture. Thanks for all you do for so many of us! https://www.skool.com/yard/level-8-yahoo?p=27284b04
