I just spent two hours listening to Sam Ovens — the guy who actually built Skool — talk about how it really works. It's less about growth hacks. It's more about why engagement is the whole game, why urgency backfires, and why passion is quietly winning right now. If you've got the two hours, watch the whole thing. It's worth it. If you don't, I pulled 11 of the pieces that mattered most into a little tool you can click through — what he said, what's worth paying attention to, where people usually trip up, and one thing you can actually go try in your own community. It's in the All-Access Speaker Pass for $9 (goes up to $29 on July 27). If you have already purchased the All-Access Speaker Pass, you can find the new Field Guide App here Start wherever you want, there's no order to finish in. You can even write your answers right in the tool and download them to keep. I'm curious which one lands hardest for you. Drop the chapter number in the comments — I want to see if we're all noticing the same thing.

So, friends, I'm going to start an off-topic post here. I'm posting a "prompt" for Chat GPT right away if you want to try it out. 😃 Then feel free to upload your results here. If you don't want to use Chat GPT, you can simply upload a few real pictures. Pictures that show your life right now. I'm curious. Here's the Chat GPT prompt: "Please create a portrait image of me based on all the information you already have about me. So a kind of vision board, or rather a live board. Include everything you've already noticed from our conversation so far in this image. Create this image in the cartoon Pixar style."

Can you spot the difference? 👀
