I don’t know how you guys feel about this community or Skool in general, but I can honestly say this has completely changed my life. And it’s wild to think I’ve only been here for about 3 months. Skool has changed the way I connect with people, the way I see others, the way I learn, grow, and progress. I finally found a place where we’re not judged, where people actually listen, support one another, share honestly, challenge one another with respect, and genuinely want to see one another win. A place where growth is encouraged, vulnerability is safe, and everyone understands that we’re all on our own journey, but we don’t have to walk it alone. The words below are just a few wins I’ve had from getting to know you so far, and I love this moment because this is only the beginning. There is no order of importance or preference, by the way. You also DON’T NEED TO READ IT ALL, you can skip directly to your name 😂 As we’re about to get into the topic of “communication,” I want to say this: words are extremely powerful. We’ll break that down and explain why very soon. Until then, I want to leave a note for the people who have made the biggest difference in my life here so far. @Jack Shiller - man, that IRL was only powerful because you were there. Meeting you in person was not only by coincidence, and I admire your effort to create such an amazing group and the name, I told you… The most appealing name I’ve seen. Jack, every day I wake up and show up here, I’m excited to engage with you because you’re such a positive person and a joy to be around. I admire your willpower to get out of your comfort zone and do something every day that you KNOW you don’t feel comfortable with, and that tells me where you’re going in life… success is right around the corner, brother. Moving away from your parents’ house to be here is a huge deal, and I admire you for that, too. And don’t forget, your public speaking skills are already amazing, and they’ll only get better from here.

If you had to choose an animal to be for the rest of your life, what would you choose and why? I know today is about fun, but I saw this quote this morning and it stuck with me: “If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire; if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.”— C. S. Lewis Food for thought as we head into the weekend. Alright… back to fun 😎

If this community is going to be valuable, it has to be built around what actually matters to you right now, not generic leadership theory or recycled quotes. Leadership shows up in real life. In how you manage your time, make decisions under pressure, handle conversations you would rather avoid, and follow through when motivation is low. Over the next few weeks, I want our content, discussions, and accountability to reflect the challenges we are actually facing. That starts with your input. 👉 Comment your Top 3 Leadership areas you want to work on, study, or actively apply in your life right now. Your answers will directly shape our focus over the next 2 to 4 weeks. Leadership Topics We Can Dive Into: • Self-leadership and personal responsibility • Goal setting and execution (We already covered this, and gladly to go even more in-depth) • Time management and priorities • Decision making under pressure • Accountability and follow-through • Communication and difficult conversations • Emotional intelligence and self-awareness • Leading without a title • Vision and long-term thinking • Building habits and systems that support growth • Confidence, presence, and influence • Handling conflict and tension • Coaching others vs managing tasks I’m also open to any additional suggestions you have. It's really hard to list all Leadership topics when everything in our lives revolves around leadership. Pick your Top 3 and don’t just list the topics. Add a short example of how each one shows up in your life right now and why it matters to you at this stage. For example, if you choose time management, explain where you feel stuck or what you want to improve. And as a reminder, this won’t stay theoretical. We’ll turn these topics into real actions, real reflection, and real accountability through our conversations and calls. Let’s build something useful. Let’s go 😎🔥

Let’s pretend for a second that responsibilities, bills, and expectations don’t exist. Just for 2026… What would you do and comment why 😂
