It's official. And I'm genuinely fired up about this one. We're going back to where it all started. This community was originally called Social Media AI Launchpad. That name is back. And so is the focus it always represented. Teaching business owners how to use AI to create social media content that actually gets them noticed online. Posts, scripts, captions, images. Real strategies for any platform you're already on. Practical enough to use the same day you learn them. Now, I know some of you are still focused on building your own community on Skool, and that path isn't going anywhere. Our premium tier is built for exactly that. You get two live calls a week plus the extra training to help you stay consistent and keep growing your audience. That work still lives here. It just has its own lane now. Two clear directions. One community. If you've been quiet in here, now is the time to come back. Things are about to get a lot more useful. Drop a comment and tell me what your biggest content struggle is right now.

One of our members, @Max Krenke was featured on Skool News today! 🎉 The 90s Nostalgia Club is the perfect place to escape for any and all 80s, 90s, and early 2000s pop culture fans. Gaming, movies, music, collectibles, anime, and all things nerd 🤓 Definitely check it out! Max is building something awesome there 🔥

If you're seeing this, it's because you are an active Skooler. I just spent the last 45 minutes removing members that haven't been active on Skool in 90 days or more, or accounts that I looked into and seemed fishy. Not really sure what this will do, other than getting bots out of this community 😅 Anyways, Happy Friday! Let's make it count 😎

Building your own app with AI is possible. But nobody's telling you the full story. And I'm not going to pretend it was easy. My coding background before building Twinly? C++ in high school. I made a program that balanced a checkbook. That's it. That was the entire resume. So when I decided to build a full-stack Chrome extension, I had no idea what I was walking into. Frontend UI. Client-side logic. API integration. Browser-level permissions. All of it working together. I didn't know what half of those things even meant. But I was determined to figure it out, so I got a solid game plan together and handed it off to Claude Code. It still took 50+ hours of back and forth. Building, correcting errors, tweaking things, starting over on pieces that didn't work. There's a version of this story where I tell you it was easy and AI did everything. That would be a lie. What AI actually did was make it possible for someone with zero real development experience to build something real. Something that works. Something I'm proud of. If you're thinking about building your own app or tool, here's what I'd want you to know going in: expect the work. Plan for the learning curve. And use AI to close the gap between where your skills are and where the project needs you to be. That gap is closeable. I'm proof. Drop a comment if you're in the early stages of building something. I want to hear what you're working on 👇🏻

Talking about building something and actually building it are two completely different things. Someone gets fired up, they're all in, they have the vision, they're telling people about their idea. Then the work shows up, and suddenly there's a shinier thing over there that looks easier. I know this is true because I did it for close to two years straight. I'm speaking from experience here, not judging... I genuinely believed the next course was gonna be the one. The next strategy was gonna unlock everything, but guess what? It didn't. What actually changed things was realizing I was using learning as a way to avoid doing. It felt productive, but it was far from that. Sitting on the sidelines is not a knowledge problem. You've got more than enough to start. Nobody is coming to make it easier, and there is no perfect moment. But there is a version of you that builds something real because you decided to stop waiting. That version exists, you just have to choose it. What's one thing you've been putting off that you could start this week? This community is yours as much as it is mine and @Jessica Clark's If you have a question, post it. If you figured something out, share it. If you had a win, even if it's small, share it in the wins category. AI, content creation, community building, anything in that world is fair game. You don't have to wait for "Release the Floodgates" to show up. The floor is always open. The best communities don't run on one person. They run on everyone showing up. So show up 🙏🏻
