I just wanted to apologise for being a little absent recently. I've been dealing with some ill health and have needed to step back and focus on getting myself right. Things may be a little quieter from me for the foreseeable future, but don't worry... not too quiet. Geeks is still here, the community is still moving forward, and I'll continue showing up as much as I can. One thing this community has always been about is supporting each other through the highs and the lows, and right now, I'm taking my own advice and giving myself a bit of grace. I appreciate every single one of you for being here, thanks to everyone who has checked in with me and for your patience, and for continuing to make this such an incredible place to build, learn, and grow together. Keep showing up. Keep supporting one another. Keep being Geeks. ❤️

Let’s make today mean something. Not just another post. Not just another “I’ve been working on this.” Today, let’s look at the part of your community that needs your attention. Because sometimes growth doesn’t need more noise. It needs you to notice what’s actually happening. Are people joining but not talking? Are they talking but not moving? Are they watching but not buying? Are you posting but not leading? Are you building but not giving people a clear next step? That’s not failure. That’s feedback. And feedback is where the next breakthrough usually hides. So today, drop this below: What is one part of your community that needs more leadership from you right now? Could be your welcome flow. Could be your About page. Could be your offer. Could be your classroom. Could be your DMs. Could be your weekly rhythm. Could be simply showing up with more confidence. No shame. No pretending. No overthinking. Just name the thing. Then tell us one move you’re making today to strengthen it. Because communities don’t grow by accident. They grow when the owner keeps showing up, keeps adjusting, and keeps leading the room forward.

Right Geeks, this one needs a proper conversation because it affects a lot of us building communities on Skool. Skool has rolled out something called Growth Boost. Some people are happy about it. Some people are not. And to be honest, I can see both sides. You can check it here: Community Settings → Discovery → Growth Boost From what I’m seeing, it’s turned on by default. The simple version is this: Skool can now promote communities through offsite ads, including Facebook and Instagram. So your community could be shown to people outside Skool, which could mean more visibility, more clicks, and more potential members. But here’s the bit everyone needs to understand. If Skool brings a paying customer into your community through Growth Boost, they take a 30% commission. If you bring someone in yourself through your own links, content, DMs, email list, audience, or promotion, that should still just be the normal payment processing fee. So on one side, you could say: 70% of a customer you didn’t pay to acquire is better than 100% of nobody. And that is a fair point. Ads are expensive. Traffic is hard. Most people do not have a huge audience. So if Skool is willing to pay to put communities in front of more people, that could be a big opportunity. But here’s where it gets messy. The big question is attribution. If someone joins because Skool ran an ad and sent them straight to your community, fair enough. But what if someone finds you because you were active in another Skool community? What if they clicked your profile because you commented, helped, networked, or built trust? What if they followed you from Skoolers or another group and joined later? Is that Skool bringing the customer? Or is that you doing the work inside the ecosystem? That’s the part that needs proper clarification. You can turn Growth Boost off, but the concern is that communities with it switched off may get far less discovery and network traffic. So for many people, turning it off might not feel like a real choice.
