The sales of this item hit over a billion dollars last year (2025) and that is the first time since 1983. What is it? @Kristi Rieke

I’m curious and doing a little market research inside of The Directory today… Other than Skool, what’s your go-to platform for visibility right now? Vote in the poll below with your #1 go to platform 👇 then drop a comment with: 1. Your social links (not your Skool community link, your actual socials) 2. The order you like to show up on them... Example: Facebook → Pinterest → TikTok 3. Why those platforms work best for you or why you enjoy showing up there If you picked Other, tell us what platform you’re using 👇 And yes… if you find people you want to connect with, absolutely use this thread for some follow-for-follow, new connections, and visibility support 💛 I’m curious where everyone is spending time outside of Skool and what platforms are actually working for this community right now.

Oops... I mean, it’s still in its infancy 😁 and that’s exactly why I think now is one of the best times to start a community on this platform. Last month alone across the Skool platform: • 10,296 new members joined • 3,686 left • Net growth: +6,610 • 57 trials converted to paid • 219 members resubscribed or rejoined That’s not “the opportunity has passed” energy. That’s still-growing, still-expanding, let's freaking GOOOOO energy! Imagine getting in early on a platform that’s actively growing, giving you room to build your name, grow your audience, and create momentum before the space really takes off! Skool still feels like we’re watching it grow up in real time. So, have you considered starting a community, a space of your own, that brings your people together in one place? I really do think this is a smart time to do it. If you want to start your own Skool community, you can use my referral link. If you stay after the 14-day free trial, you’ll automatically get access to my Community Builders Studio classroom too, so you’re not piecing it all together by yourself. It's all the thinks I wish I would have known when I started my first community! These crazy fun stats came from @Joe DeFilippo of Skooly a CRM-style tool for community owners. Skool is still little. And that’s exactly why I wouldn’t ignore it. 👀

...there has been some developments going on behind the scene and I owe it to you to keep you updated on what is going on. For the past week, your street therapist has been trying to navigate his own streets. A few pivotal moves I had to make in my personal avenues, but also with these pivotal moves came some clarity that I don't think I would've acquired any other way if I hadn't stepped away from the Skool platform the way that I have. Let me touch on a couple of aspects of my avenues... I've been focusing a lot more of my health in regards to my physicality. I guess to say this in a non-mercury retrograde kind of way, I've been focusing on keeping myself in shape more so than anything else. This past month, I recently purchased a subscription at Planet Fitness while also working on a fitness program provided through BetterMe. By doing this, I was considering developing a workout plan myself that I could possibly share with people... ...Speaking of developing things, I may have said something alongside this already previously, but I did fully take the Google AI Certification program, so now I'm fully certified to develop apps now as well. Vibe coding (which was one of the bigger interests I had when it came to app building) felt so aligned with the Daily Vibes that I do on TikTok and Instagram that I am considering it using AI a bit more with my Daily Vibes as well as possibly for developing a fitness app. In any case, I mention this because this is currently at the top of the dome and though I keep circling back and forth between posting here in Skool as well as keeping up with the other forms of online presences I have, I'm truly trying to get them to funnel towards Skool. As of current, I'm utilizing Linktree for some funneling capabilities, but otherwise, if anyone has any directions I can go to to help with funneling, that would be absolutely amazing! 💚💚💚💚 Anycase, it is July 4th, 2026... if you are in the United States and are in the culture of celebrating, this particular country is 250 years in the making... what a milestone, no?! 😅😅😅 Make it the safest and most blessed of days today! 💚💚💚

Quick question... How many of you are using Claude AI right now? And if you are, have you checked out 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯 yet? I joined yesterday because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. While I do use AI to help create content and images, I'm getting much more interested in using AI to build systems, automate repetitive tasks, organize information, and save myself time in business and in mom life (who knew a family command center and a summer schedule for kids would be so dang helpful)! I like that Claude Code Club seems focused more on the building side of AI rather than getting stuck watching tutorial after tutorial or collecting prompts that I'll probably never use. I'm still very much in the "𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀" phase and am now curious: 👉 Are you using Claude? 👉 Have you tried Claude Code? 👉 Have you joined Claude Code Club? 👉 What's the most useful thing you've actually built with AI so far? I'd love to hear what you're experimenting with (aka: what cool things are you building with it). We're collecting ideas, not links. 😉 Tell us what you're building!
