Congratulations @Phil Clark on reaching Level 3 in The Skoolyard! You obviously enjoy traveling, what are your favorite places you have traveled?

Can we normalize talking about burnout? Not the dramatic kind. The quiet kind. The kind where you’re still showing up… but everything feels heavier than it should. If you’ve felt that lately, you’re not broken. You’re human. What helps you recharge when you feel drained?

One thing I’ve realized after being on Skool for 60 days is that you can see straight into a person’s psyche by how they run their community. Not through what they say they value but through how they actually move. What they respond to. What they ignore. How present they are. How they handle feedback. How they treat people when there’s nothing to gain. Every post, every comment, every silence is information. A community is an extension of the leader’s mind, priorities, standards, and self-awareness. The tone, the culture, the pace, the care (or lack of it) all mirror the person at the center. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: If you’re not intentionally responding to your community’s needs, concerns, and feedback, trust erodes. Slowly at first. Then all at once. People can feel when a leader is checked out, distracted, or more invested in optics than outcomes. At that point, no amount of branding can cover the gap. Strong communities aren’t built on content alone. They’re built on conscious, intentional leadership. Presence. Follow-through. A genuine investment in the people who chose to be there. What’s fascinating is that as a member, you start to recognize patterns. You begin to gravitate toward leaders whose operating principles you actually resonate with not just their tactics or the hype. Building (and observing) communities becomes a window into human nuance: values, ego, generosity, integrity, discipline. Skool isn’t just a platform. It's a window into your passion. It’s a mirror. Look at leaders like @Jack Robinson @David Iya @Phil Clark @John Pogue @Brandon Decremer @Emmanuel Nelson these guys are building INSANE communities, you can learn A LOT from them! Curious to know if anyone else has noticed how clearly leadership psychology shows up once you know what (not) to look for.

@Tony Robbins just joined Skoolyard! I thought it was cool he joined Skool, but it's even cooler he is here.

Okay this has to be acknowledged 10k+. Go @Evelene Sterling !
