This one is experimental. If you don't end up joining, and the community lifts off, I'll try to keep you up to date with how I run things, what Skool community model I ended up using etc. TL;DR: I couldn't find the type of AI community I wanted, so I'm building my own. If this resonates with you join here

Hey friends, @Patrice Simoneau invited me, @Sarah Hankins, and Matt to chat a couple of days ago. I think it was a good one. You can fast forward past the food talk if you only want the Skool stuff 😉 Here's what we actually talked about: - Is Skoolers even a real community? (Spoiler: we have thoughts) - The cost of convenience - why being in a community requires actual effort - How the hobby plan changed everything (100k+ new members is... a lot) - Why we don't spend as much time in Skoolers anymore (and it's not what you think) - The search bar being a literal money printer that nobody uses - Engagement farming vs real value - Alex Hormozi's "no questions allowed" rule and whether that would kill most communities Real talk moments: Marcin basically said he got bored with answering the same questions over and over. Not in a mean way - just honest. When you're trying to help people but it feels like moderating instead of adding value, that hits different. Sarah (second person to hit level 9, btw) pointed out something cool - they're finally pinning newbie posts and highlighting communities that aren't making six figures a month. That's the kind of culture shift we're here for. Matt brought up something that made me think - every community has a cost of convenience. You can't just scroll and consume. You have to put in effort. And yeah, that's harder than Instagram, but that's also why the relationships here actually matter. The sandwich debate: - Matt says ice cream sandwiches are the objective best (hard to argue) - Ketchup chips are apparently a Canadian thing and we need them at Skool events - BLTs are underrated - This took up way more time than it should have and we're not sorry Bottom line - if you're struggling with engagement or wondering why your community feels quiet, this conversation might help. We're not claiming to have all the answers. We're just people who've been doing this for a while and are still figuring it out.

I wish you a wonderful new year!

Here's another inspirational tune I just found. And no, that's not me 😂

After 10 years of nothin on their YouTube channel, they came out with this... Have a wonderful Sunday (night?) 😂
