This week inside Crust & Crumb Academy we're baking baguettes as a community. Yeasted, poolish, and sourdough. Same shape, three paths. Last bake-along we had over 2,400 comments in a single thread in one day. This Saturday will be bigger. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁.

It's amazing how you can go for prolonged periods without any sort of emotional intimacy or connection with your partner. I know, I know, you're busy. There's a reason for it. A reason... but not an excuse. The truth is that entrepreneurs / creators get focused and driven to create their dream business. That's natural. If you ask them why they do it, most of them would say for my partner, for my kids, for my family, et cetera. There may be some who would say they want ultimate power and riches, but I suspect those people are few and far between. The irony is that in this maniacal charge to create a successful, sustainable business, sometimes the why gets lost. So I ask you... if you grabbed your partner and kissed them, would they ask you what's wrong? When we have a happy and fulfilled relationship, we are better parents, we are better business owners, we are more successful entrepreneurs. That's the simple reasoning behind The Relationship Chef. A few minutes of connection here and there doesn't have to take a long time, it definitely doesn't cost anything, but the risk of losing that connection, damaging the relationship long term, can be very costly emotionally, financially, physically. Think of your relationship as one of your best business assets. Think of it as the support you need to scale and succeed. Think of it as something that you want to be thriving now and in the future because it's intrinsically tied to your success. If you can't succeed with someone who loves you, then what's the value in succeeding with strangers? We all have to eat, right? Let's combine the beauty of food, and the power of connection. This is a secret sauce for your success! Come join me in The Relationship Chef and let's get cooking!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas (if you celebrate)! For some of us, today is Boxing Day and a welcome day of rest and relaxation with the family. My 6 yo asked this morning why it's called Boxing Day, which resulted in a huge debate about the origins of the holiday. In a day and age when answers are so easily found online, it was kind of nice to sit and argue about all of our personal preconceived notions about the holiday... For those of you who are new (and there are a lot of you!) we are so glad that you are joining us! Since the main community is for promoting your own personal groups and services, we like to take Friday to look outward and share about the communities of others that we think are particularly beneficial and that others would like to know about. This is the only place/time where it's okay to share affiliate links (please disclose in your comment if your link is an affiliate link). IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, please share the name of a community that you think others would like to know about. Provide some context about who it's for and how they will benefit. Include the link, and then also mention or DM the person who owns the group to let them know you promoted them in the Classifieds. i guarantee you will make their day! #FriendFriday recommendations made in new posts will be deleted.

Exactly a week ago, I was more than a little freaking out because our sweet little group managed to win the Skool Games. This was a DREAM come true!!!! One of the ways it happened was from being able to share our community. In fact, posts in here were a huge help in the mix!!! Separate from having a lovely group + offer, the three things that helped the most (by far) were: 1. Shares in this group 2. Shares in another group that also allows advertising 3. Members sharing privately + in spaces like this that allow advertising THANK YOU @Shannon Boyer! THANK YOU to friends who shared and joined and have made the group one that brings me joy every single day! If you're not in there just yet, you're warmly invited to join in the fun, especially if you're a Skool Group Owner who wants to improve the experience and increase connection inside your group. CONNECT & COLLAB here! P.S. FIVE MORE DAYS until the end of the year, I'm still hoping to see this group land at 1,000 members by then. It would be a very fitting way to end 2025!!
