For My Canadian Skoolers here!
Should you take CPP at 60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70? It's may seem like a simple answer because it is not. It depends! It depends on how it will fit into your current and/or future financial plan. If you want to find your answer I have a skool community for you to join! Until then here is a lyrical version to help you with your decision-making process!

My sister and I were talking about CPP yesterday as it relates to the best time to take it, and while the choice is ultimately up to the recipient, the numbers seem to indicate that taking it early can significantly reduce the amount you'd qualify for, but contributing until aged 70 doesn't really help qualify for max disbursement. The problem with CPP is that it was implemented in 1966, at a time when people weren't living as long. Average lifespan after retirement then was 13-15 years. We now have people living well past that, sometimes reaching centenarian status, and it was never designed to support the extended lifespans we have now...
Feedback needed for Market Research
I need a little help, please and thanks! I need to get a baseline for a demographic of who uses what. Simply selecting an answer from the Poll below would be greatly appreciated... For those who use a computer for Skool, what Operating system are you using? Thanks much in advance. P.S. if you've answered in another community, you can skip answering.

Are you posting and ghosting??? 👻
Just a friendly reminder that in order to make the most of this community, you need to be BOTH posting and commenting on the posts of others. Not only are authentic connections the true backbone of business, but they are also what improves our engagement and overall visibility as a group. So, if you've been copy and pasting the same post into every promotion-friendly community out there and then bouncing a nanosecond later, well, you might just be wasting your time. Instead, I'd like to encourage and invite you to look at this as a place where you can connect with people on a human level while not being afraid of saying the wrong thing or talking about your business in a way that might come across as self-promotion. HINT: the people that are posting and ghosting are not getting the same returns as the ones who are engaging with other. 😉

@Shannon Boyer it's bad enough that i'm going to have to downgrade from the pro plan back to hobby, pivot to a different community topic entirely and turf my two existing communities if I want to stay on the platform.

@Shannon Boyer well I am hoping that with the pivot that will happen, maybe the new topic will have more people engage.
Skooly is no joke!
Today, April 1 the incredible @Joe DeFilippo will be doing a presentation in the CLASSIFIEDS about his amazing Chrome extension Skooly. If you haven't already jumped on the bandwagon, you'll definitely want to tune in and find out what you've been missing. Not only does the tool allow you to be so much more effective and efficient as a Skool group owner, but it also makes the process more fun as well. And to top it off, Joe's dedication to customer service is unparalleled. Last week, Skooly became the CLASSIFIEDS first ever official partner, and I'm so excited to be able to offer everyone this opportunity. If you'd like to check it out now, here is my affiliate link. Otherwise, Joe will be live on April 1 (no joke). Check the calendar for the exact time in your time zone.

I'm not at the point where it makes financial sense to have tools like this. Truth be told, I'm still trying to figure out how I am going to manage to stay on the Skool platform as a whole.
🎙️ We Built a Podcast Host from Scratch — Here’s How It Works
Something a little different is happening inside the Academy, and I wanted to share it with you. Check out all three below. A few months ago, I started building a show called Breaking Bread with Rachel Parker — a podcast dedicated to the history, folklore, and mythology of bread. Not technique. Not recipes. Just the stories. The rituals. The weird stuff that’s been happening around loaves of bread for thousands of years. The thing is, Rachel Parker isn’t a real person. She’s a persona I created specifically for this show. I built her image in ChatGPT, animated her in Gemini, gave her a voice in ElevenLabs, and edited the final episodes in CapCut. She has a consistent face, a consistent voice, and a consistent presence across every episode — and most people who watch don’t think twice about it. Here’s our process, start to finish: Research first. We dig into real historical and folkloric sources — bread in burial rituals, bread as protection against witches, the superstitions around dropping a loaf, healing bread from Good Friday. If bread shows up in a story, we want it. Script second. Each episode gets a tight script around a single theme. “Did Bread Cause the Salem Witch Trials?” “The Executioner’s Loaf.” “Bread for the Dead.” Clear title, clear arc, built for listening. Voice through ElevenLabs. Rachel’s voice is consistent episode to episode. Same tone, same pacing, same presence. Visuals through AI. Image in ChatGPT, animation in Gemini. She moves. She introduces the show. She feels like a real host. Released on a schedule. Every episode drops on the same day, same time, so members know when to come back. We’ve got four episodes live in the classroom right now and a 30-episode arc mapped out. If you’ve been curious about using AI to build content at this level, the classroom is a good place to watch how it comes together in real time. 👉 Check it out: https://skoo.ly/crust-crumb-academy — Henry ⭐🔥

@Nick Nebelsky what most know now as a podcast is a carryover from when Apple started allowing people to do prerecorded and then live audio-only shows on iTunes. It was apparently called a podcast because originally you could only download or stream it to an iPod...
