So, let me tell you guys a little bit of the story of how we got here. About one year ago I was invited to give a webinar about cybersecurity for parents at a friend's daughter school. It was a huge success, everybody loved it, stayed over 1 hour after the scheduled time to ask questions and compliment. A couple days later, 2 other schools reached out and offered to pay for me to present it in person. At the time I had a very complicated schedule and could not do it, but the importance and acceptance of this subject stuck with me. Fast forward almost 1 year and I decided to build an online course for it, and then I learned about Skool and it was perfect for this idea I had where, in the end, a community would probably bring much more value in the long term than simply one course. So here we are, we have a community and 3 planned courses, halfway done with the first of them. But I question if this is the best route, if more courses is what we all need, or maybe we should go another route and prioritize community events and rituals, like periodic calls and guests, or even something that has not been brought up yet. Which brings us to this post, I would love to hear from you, what is it that you would like the most? What do you feel is urgently lacking? What whould make you come here daily to read and participate? Please feel free to say it, there will be no judging, the goal here is to build something for the members above anything else 🙂
