Good morning Syndicate Family. I need to start out with some very sad news, and I will keep this week’s newsletter short. Our Syndicate member, and my friend, @Jonathan Shuffield passed away in his sleep Saturday night. I am devastated by the news. I’m sure you felt his energy here in the Syndicate and believe me outside of it, as a personal friend, his energy was just as electric. Jonny was one of the most creative people I knew and it was an extreme honor to be his friend these past 5 years. We created podcasts together, traveled together, and created new projects together. His latest project, his indie sitcom he wrote, produced and starred in, I was honored to be a Producer for and a Mentor. Jonny’s talent will certainly be missed, but his heart and friendship to his family and the chosen family around him, will be missed the most. I will keep you updated if his family and friends need anything. After such great feedback from the survey and talking to member individually, I am excited for the content we are slowly moving toward here in the Syndicate. Our CORE VALUE PILLARS are; Sharing tried and true business methods with each other, Support through referrals, messaging and communication with each other, and having fun together. This past weeks 5 day Sprint to get our businesses ready for Pride Month in June was a great success. If you haven't looked it over, it's on the "Classroom" tab and the steps you need to make sure your business is ready for Pride. Our Thursday Morning Success Chats have been a successful way for members to add true value to the conversation, sharing their passion and innovation. Coming soon we will be talking about “AI and Ethics In The Workplace” “Influencer Marketing” “Mental Health in Business” and much more. If you can be there for the LIVE chat, it’s Thursday mornings at 10am Eastern Time, right here on the Syndicate’s video page. DM me if you would like to give a presentation sometime. We are definitely upping the fun here in the Syndicate. Be sure to check out and try to participate in our Virtual Pride Parade, that we are creating floats for this month. We also recently had a Success Syndicate Bingo that helped you do things to move your business forward, while winning prizes along the way, (congrats to @art ). I also shared a fun “Success Syndicate Trading Card” template that I have used in other parts of my business over the years. I hope you are finding value in being a member here and I look forward to more participation from you all in the future………..Scott

Huge shoutout to Syndicate member @Richard Skipper for an amazing recent interview. We dove into his path from South Carolina to Broadway, explored the highlights of his career, and heard wonderful memories about his friendship with Carol Channing. Richard is a true original, and this conversation is packed with wisdom, entertainment, and behind-the-scenes stories you will not want to miss. Proud to spotlight one of our own in the LGBTQ Success Syndicate.

Happy Weekend Syndicate Fam! I hope you have a great weekend of rest and relaxation with chosen families and friends. Last week was a lot of Dr.'s and Client catch-ups and I had right eye surgery for cataracts, so was not in here as much. Things went well, I can see again, and am back with a vengeance, lol. I think I've told you before that I do a weekly Entertainment News podcast, besides my Interview podcasts. Each week my co-host, member @David Reddish and I talk about the week in Entertainment News with our own gay twist on some of the stories. This week, we were excited to have fellow Syndicate member @Jonathan Shuffield on the show to talk about his sitcom, he has been creating that starts filming in about 8 weeks. It's a fun chat, so thought you might want to listen in. Have a great weekend everyone!!

Whoaaaa! Things have been a whirlwind for me these past few weeks, but all has settled down. Nothing like a bottleneck to make you reorganize!
