We're about to hit 900 members and go paid on Monday. In 2 days I'll be sharing this on LinkedIn for the first time and we may hit a growth spurt. It seemed like everyone got a lot of value last time from the 'Drop Your Skool Hot Seat' post. 🚀 I also realized a lot of you had more questions after making the edits from the first round. So, let's run one more hot seat skool review! Final chance to get reviewed before things explode. Here's how things works this time: 1. Drop your Skool profile link below + any 2 questions you have about it 2. Share one line about who you are, what you're building, and your audience 3. Review at least 3 other profiles in this thread 🎁 The person who gives the most genuine help with me will get a special gift. 🎁 I'll be reviewing every single one of these personally. This time your bio, your about page, how you're presenting yourself. P.S. Lots of additional big news dropping this week. Stay tuned & happy Saturday. 🥂

⚠️ Note: This is one of those posts where you'll want to read the entire thing. (Forgive the length) So, yesterday I finished reviewing every single Skool that was shared in the: 'Tis The Season. Drop Your Skool. Let's Sharpen Each Other post from this weekend. First off: you all showed up. The pages were strong. Real positioning. Real credibility. Real heart. Also, I'm not gonna lie, I expected it to feel like a chore. It didn't. I actually enjoyed it. A lot of you are building something real and it shows. But here's what's been running through my head since. I have a theory: Most people who find your Skool have already decided to join before they even land on your about page. Think about it. They saw you in a comment. They clicked your profile. They liked your energy. They followed a link someone shared. By the time they hit your about page, they're just looking for confirmation, not convincing. Which means we might be over-optimizing the wrong thing. I want to test this. Help me out. When you joined BBC, what actually got you here? Vote and be honest. This isn't about ego, you all can hurt my feelings if need be, I don't mind being wrong. I'm trying to figure out where conversions actually come from when all is said and done. Why this matters: I've been deep in research mode lately. Looking at who's hitting 30K MRR. Who's crossing 100K. What they're doing differently. And something keeps coming up: distribution beats decoration. The best about page in the world doesn't matter if nobody sees it. The question is how do you get seen, and what makes someone click join before they've read a single word? Here's where it gets interesting. One of the tools I'm building into the Skool Connect suite will let you A/B test your about pages. You'll be able to set up three or four different versions, and it tracks which one converts the highest over time. Then the winner will stick automatically.

The holidays have me in a giving mood. And this community has given me a lot of love & energy. So I want to give back. I was reading back through the "What Do You Actually Want?" thread, and one of the top requests was hot seat audits on our upcoming weekly calls. So, let's start practicing now! Drop your Skool link below and get honest, specific feedback. Not generic "looks good!" stuff. Real feedback. What's working. What's not. What I'd change if it were mine. I've been studying what makes Skool communities work. Quite obsessively, honestly. Things like: - About pages that convert vs ones that leak - Content structures that drive engagement vs ghost towns - Welcome sequences that retain vs ones that lose people in 48 hours - Pricing tiers that make sense vs ones that confuse (more coming soon) You've all given so much to this community so I want to take time to review your profiles before this group gets bigger. Not only your Skool community, YOU. Your bio. Your positioning. How you present yourself. You don't need accolades. You need a bio that makes the right people say "this is for me." Here's how this works: 1. Drop your Skool profile link below 2. Share a one-liner about who you are and what you're building Then, review at least 3 other communities in this thread. Be honest: - What do you like about their vision? - What's unclear or could improve? - Would you join? Why or why not? I'll be going through as many as I can and giving personalized thoughts. Let's sharpen each other heading into the new year. Drop your link. Let's grow together. 👇 P.S. There's a lot of exciting updates coming that I've been SO impatient to share. From announcing the billionaire, to going paid, and more! A few of them will be dropping next week. Stay tuned. 🥂

This time last year, we had no idea what 2025 would bring. The NICU stays. The sleepless nights. The prayers. The tears. Two months of watching our little girl fight before we could finally bring her home. And now here she is. Smiling in her grandpa's arms. Wide-eyed at the Christmas lights with grandma. Waving at the world like she owns it. Grandparents, aunties, uncles, in-laws, everyone under one roof. My real gift this year isn't under the tree. It's her. It's having our family together. It's watching the people I love most hold the person I love most. Wishing you and yours an incredible and very Merry Christmas. Whatever this year brought you, I hope today brings you peace, love, and the people who matter. To the BBC family, I didn't expect to feel this connected to a group of people I've never met in person. But here we are. 600+ deep and it already feels like something special. Next year, we're going to look back at this moment and be amazed at how far we've come. Together. Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🥂 Hold your people tight, and be as present as you can be today! 🫂 - David 🫶🏾
