Our first Skool Member Masterclass was a success! If you missed it, you can listen back below👇🏽 (but honestly… being there LIVE hits different 🔥) @Richardson Dughan broke down Proxy Selling in a powerful and practical way, using examples from skincare and insurance.👇🏽 Here are the key takeaways: 💡 1. Believe in what you sell! For example: No chemicals. Real product. Real conviction. 💡 2. Socio-economic impact Tell the story beyond the product For example: supporting livelihoods in Northern Ghana and entire households. 💡 3. Education through conversation Show, don’t just tell: Create content where people talk about the product or service naturally. This builds trust. 💡 4. Narrative of authenticity. People don’t just buy products, they buy real stories, heritage, and truth 💡 5. Originality Be unique in how you present and communicate 💬 Bonus insight: Use customer stories to make everything more real and relatable. This is how you sell without “selling” That’s the power of proxy selling. Big thank you to Richardson for sharing this with the community🙏🏾

Rejection is one of the hardest parts of the journey, whether you are building a business or growing a content page. We’ve all been there—the pitch that got ignored, the partnership that fell through, or the content that didn’t get the reach we expected. ​But look at the story of Jack Ma. He was the only person rejected out of 24 applicants at KFC. He was rejected by the police. He was rejected by Harvard 10 times. If he had stopped at any of those "No’s," the Alibaba Group wouldn't exist today. ​ The Reality of the Grind: ​Rejection isn't a stop sign: It’s often just a redirection to something better. ​ Work speaks louder than luck: When things don't go your way, the only solution is to keep working, keep refining your craft, and keep showing up. ​ Build in silence: Let your progress be the answer to everyone who couldn't see your vision early on. ​ For every entrepreneur and creator in this community: Don’t let a rejection get to your head, and don’t let success get to your heart. Keep working. Your breakthrough is on the other side of "Keep Going." ​Discussion Question: What is one "rejection" you’ve faced recently that actually pushed you to work harder or change your strategy for the better? Let’s talk about it below! 👇

I’ve been working on something new behind the scenes… I started developing an AI character for my 3-year-old daughter. As many of you know, I’m a storyteller at heart. I’ve always created through books, culture and lived experiences. But now I’m exploring how AI can become part of that creative process. Meet Mysa (pronounced Maisa). She’s not just a random AI character. I’m intentionally building her with a consistent “character DNA”: • facial structure & expressions • twists with beads • a 🇬🇭Ghanaian Kente dress • 🇸🇷Surinamese-inspired earrings (ograi kraal) • cultural meaning behind her name (Mother Earth) What I’m really experimenting with is this: Can we use AI to build recognizable characters, stories and even full creative worlds? And honestly… it feels less like “prompting” and more like creative directing. I’m thinking about sharing this process step-by-step inside Gold Circle Academy. So I’m curious, would you like to learn how to: 👇🏽
