My name is Mitchell. I'm a Community Specialist who helps coaches, creators, and business owners build engaging communities on Skool and other platforms. I've been fascinated by what makes communities thrive, from onboarding and engagement to creating experiences that keep members coming back. I joined GOOSIFY to learn, connect with other builders, and contribute wherever I can. A quick question for everyone: What's the biggest challenge you're facing in your community right now? Looking forward to meeting you all and learning from the community!

My favorite color is green. Olive drab or similar to be exact. Don't have a favorite Pokémon as I never got into that! And my current Skool challenge is just starting a community tend to think too much in the future and scaling so it prevents me quite a bit! I have though narrowed it down to two ideas. Does anyone else have this issue?

Mitchell here It nice to meet you all. I’ve been building and studying online communities for a while now, and I’m honestly just excited to be in a space where people actually care about community not just sales. Skool has been super interesting to me because retention + culture seem to be the real game. I’m always trying to learn how to: - Reduce churn naturally - Improve engagement without forcing it - Create systems that feel human (not robotic) Would love to connect with other builders in here. What’s been your biggest win (or struggle) growing your Skool lately? 🌱 Happy to learn and contribute where I can.

I think it's ending tomorrow, so I'm calling it. I might not be the official winner, but my community went from 2930 to to 1265 in Discovery. (proof in the screenshots below) Nothing to write home about, I know. Most Goosify members have six stars and are in the top 5 of their category and the top 10 of everybody else's. You're beautiful, and I'm proud to fly with geese like you. But this is a big move by my standards. Especially since these aren't just numbers, but real communities run by real people. And I leaped over 1665 of them with a TON of help from people like @Benjamin Ross, @Anthony Walsh (who also helped me rediscover an old passion), @Kimberly Wright, @Jay Hanan, @Angela Chen Shui, @Ellie Hayes, @Jing Wang, @Justin Yip, @Tommy Gan, @Mark Eldridge, @Wendy Wiseman, @Addie Beall, @Christine Knight IFS, @Leeanne Hurren, @Justin Ferraraccio, @Dianna Carlton, @Artem Zakharov, @Tony Sibbald, @Taylor Richard, @Florian Rolke, @Mia Greco, @Fiona Hernandez @Anita Kozlowski, @Chad Noorman, @Jeffrey Saathoff and 69 other amazing, encouraging Goosifiers. I feel like I won. And if you did the blitz, you won, too.
