I just dropped a new YouTube short sharing how I first talked to @Ryan Duncan… and yes, it involved me totally chickening out unless my friend agreed to join the call too. This was back when Skoolers was still called Skool Community and it wasn’t officially against the rules to drop Zoom links. Ryan posted one, and I really wanted to go. But I didn’t know him. Didn’t know the vibe. Didn’t know who else would show up. So I peer pressured my friend (and podcast co-host) to go with me right after we finished recording an episode. LOL 😂 Funny thing is, I ended up talking a bit in there and the vibe was chill. Now I’ll jump into calls without a second thought. I even remember my first Zoom with Sam. I was slightly nervous again. Why? I have no idea. But now it’s not a big deal at all. 🤷‍♀️ Confidence gets tested in all kinds of ways, even when you think you already have it. Push through. It gets easier every time. You can watch the YouTube Short here, if you want: https://youtube.com/shorts/aKWkqoa0PUM?si=rg0ZM-uiKHrwYBpw (I’ll share one of my tips for pushing past nervousness in the comments.) 👇 What’s something you were nervous about… but ended up being totally fine once you did it?

This is posted in Skoolers, but I'm sharing here for those that don't have a community and are not in Skoolers. (And you guys get a template for an email.) I submitted a formal complaint to Skool about a former member who shared private mastermind and clarity call recordings publicly on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. These videos included other Skool members, some in emotionally vulnerable moments, and were posted without their consent. (So Gross.) This person had already been removed from my community for breaking trust in a different situation. This came to light after they were gone. I chose to file the formal complaint so Skool could review it for themselves. This violates several parts of Skool’s Terms and Conditions: Section 3: Access “Members… shall be for your personal, non-commercial use only” “You will not commercially exploit any portion of the Services” Sharing private calls publicly for promotion or growth is considered commercial use and breaks this section. Section 4: Acceptable Use Policy “You will not use the Services… for any commercial purpose” “You will not violate the publicity or privacy rights of another individual” “You will not copy or distribute any content displayed through the Services” Recording and republishing any content from Skool that features others, especially in a private or emotional setting, is a clear violation. Section 7: User Submissions and Content “You represent and warrant that you are the owner of, or otherwise have the right to provide, all User Content that you submit, post and/or otherwise transmit through the Services” If someone else is in the recording and did not give permission for it to be shared, that right was not granted. It also violates Meta’s content policies, which prohibit sharing private content involving others without their consent. (YouTube & TikTok have similar policies.)

Not everyone saw the full update, so here’s the scoop from today’s Skool News plus extra info from the comments and a fast clarification from Sam himself. Four minute response time. Legend. ✅ You can now: • Duplicate entire courses • Duplicate folders in courses And the big one: You’ll soon be able to share a course between communities using a course key. Only owners can do this. Think Canva template vibes. Once it’s shared, the other group gets its own version and can make changes without touching the original. Thank you @Lara Sloan for asking the key questions that helped get clarity fast. Sam confirmed: "Once it’s imported the original has no connection to the new course." @Matthew Burns made a great post "What are some creative ways you're planning to use the Shared Course feature?" and you might go check it out/follow it/add to the convo to get ideas. Here are some of them now: • You can sell or gift course templates • You can give preview access in your free group, and house the full course in your paid one • You can run challenge-based or pop-up groups that pull content from your main community • You can create universal training for your whole team or org • You can help affiliates launch faster by giving them editable content instead of making them start from scratch It’s not out yet, but it’s expected to roll out sometime tonight or tomorrow. I will be working on some to make available for duplication.. just have to find time to add it to the to do list lol 😅 👇 How will you use it?
