I've been playing video games since I got Putt Putt on the computer at two years old. I love Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Digimon, Avatar (duh), and tons of other cartoons and games. I used to spend 18 hours a day playing World of Warcraft. I read all the Harry Potter books. I like to dress up in cosplay and go to Ren Faire's and conventions (here's a photo of me dressed like a viking holding a raven at Sherwood Forest). My most anticipated game of 2026 is World of Anterra, a pixelated Skyrim-esque RPG. (I backed the Kickstarter campaign in 2020 and have been EAGERLY awaiting it's release all this time.) I like board games like Settlers of Catan. In fact, my co-founder @Rex Loyer regularly hosts board game nights for our local Focus Founders (and there will be more coming soon!) I also love learning about history and culture. Yes, I DO think about Rome at least once a week 😂 (have you SEEN the ingenuity of the Roman colosseum?! They literally built a colosseum that could be flooded with water and have boats fight each other!! How could you NOT think about that often?!) I also make weird, cute noises at my dog, and I like to go camp in the woods. Bonus points if I get to hear some wubby dubby dubstep and see lasers while I do it. (Electric Forest, I will come to you one day!) Oh, and don't even get me started on Tarot and Oracle cards. My tattoo was inspired by a hummingbird card pulled in a healing card deck. And then astrology... and personality tests... and psychology in general... Anyway... just felt inspired to share some of my nerd-ness with you all. Where my fellow nerds at?! Share your nerdy passions in the comments!

Happy Monday founders - now let's help each other grow! There are so many brilliant minds in this community, and I bet we can help each other massively with a tiny amount of effort. Inspired by @Matthew Burns, I made this post! As entrepreneurs, we juggle a LOT of hats. That means we often have a massive to-do list and are constantly "doing" things - but it's not necessarily the most effective things. So here's the game: 1. Write a one to two sentence description of your business. Who do you serve, and what do you help them do? 2. Share one spot where you're stuck OR where you're not sure what the most important task is in your business. 3. Comment on at least two other people's posts with one TACTICAL thing they can do to get past their bottleneck or prioritize their task list. Example in the comments. Let's all help each other grow!

Skoot CRM is a dream come true. Tag your members, send automated follow-ups and reminders to check in with your most important people, see when people upgrade or downgrade tiers, see your analytics at a glance, and so much more. This is about to CHANGE THE GAME, I tell you! Go check out the 7-day free trial if you run a Skool community.

I had to give a shout out to one of our newest Accelerator members, @Amber Kay. Amber is a single mom of three kids. She's been surviving on a low-wage dog training job at a soulless company for the last few years, and something AMAZING happened to her last month: She quit her job and went full-time on her own dog training business. The best part? In her FIRST MONTH on her own as a business owner, she made $1,600 more than she would have working full-time at her job. Without working any harder... While working from home. Probably in her PJs most of the time. (Just a guess 😉) Very few people have inspired me as much as Amber has. She works harder than almost anyone I know, raising three kids on her own while working full-time and planning an exit to run her own company. Most businesses take 2-5 years to start profiting. Amber did it on MONTH ONE. If she can do it, so can you. Thanks for inspiring us, Amber 🙏 Wanna learn about how the Accelerator helped Amber hit this huge success? Drop a comment and like on this post! If we hit at least 50 comments, I'll see if I can convince Amber to do an interview with me on how she pulled off this incredible feat!
