It's Halloween, so we're conducting some very important research today. You're going through a haunted house with a group of friends. Which one are you? A. The Screamer. You haven't even made it through the door, and everybody knows you're there. B. The Investigator. You're too busy figuring out how they made the ghosts move to actually be scared. C. The Protector. You've got somebody by the hand, and you're determined to get everyone out alive. D. The Troublemaker. The haunted house isn't nearly as scary as YOU are to the people who came with you. E. The NOPE. You're outside holding everybody's stuff and eating their candy. And here's where it gets interesting... If someone who knows you is here, they get to challenge your answer! So, which one are you? And do we have any witnesses who might tell a different story?

Nick here. Reporting live from Skoolology. Apparently, today is the day humans dress up, knock on strangers' doors, and demand treats. I've been doing that in my own house for months, and Mom calls it BEGGING. Double standards, people. Double standards. Anyway, I hope your day is full of treats, absolutely no tricks, and plenty of naps. And remember, if something scary jumps out at you, just do what I do. Run sideways, puff up your tail, and blame the dog. We don't have a dog, but I blame one anyway. Love, Nick P.S. Mom says I look adorable in this hat. I'm currently reviewing my options for a new management team.

Happy Birthday to our very own @Kelly S. Kelly !! 🥳🎂 Oh, Kel! Where do I even begin? 😂 One of the best things about building Skoolology has been the friendships Todd and I have made along the way. And we are definitely so glad we found you along the way! I've loved our conversations, the laughs, the questions, and yes, even working through that darn messy middle together! 😂 I've watched you question things, rethink things, and keep plugging away until what you're building started to feel like YOU. And I've loved seeing your confidence grow along the way. For those who haven't met Kelly yet, she's the heart behind D-Klutter & Organize with Kel, where she helps people tackle clutter, work through the emotions behind it, and take things one small step at a time. 💜 Kel, Todd and I are so grateful this crazy Skool journey brought you into our lives. You're much more than a community member. You're our friend, and we love you dearly! ❤️ Kelly, have a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎉🎂🥳

I've had a few conversations lately that have me questioning something. How do we really know whether the people in our communities are getting what they came for? We can see who's posting, commenting, and showing up. But that doesn't necessarily tell us whether anyone is making progress. I was talking with another builder today about her quieter members. She realized that some of them might actually need a place where they can learn without feeling pressured to participate. But that raised another question for both of us. How do we tell the difference between someone who's quietly getting what they need and someone who's quietly struggling? I don't think we can answer that just by looking at activity. That's what I'd love for us to explore together this week.🔍🧭 Have you ever learned something about a member that surprised you? Maybe they were getting more from your community than you realized. Or maybe you discovered they needed something you hadn't considered. I'd love to hear what happened and how you found out. We might learn quite a bit from comparing our experiences. ❤️

Good morning, builders! ❤️🐼 Have you ever caught yourself deciding what a successful community is supposed to look like? A certain number of members. Lots of conversations. People showing up every day. And when things don't look like that picture in our heads, we start wondering what we're doing wrong. Who made those rules anyway? I wonder how often we borrow someone else's definition of success without even realizing it. And how often we're so busy looking for the things we think should be happening that we miss what's actually happening. Maybe someone joined to find an answer and found it. Maybe they needed a little encouragement to try something new. Or maybe they're quietly making progress we know nothing about. So here's my Monday morning question: What might you be overlooking in your community because you've been looking for something else? I'm going to be thinking about this myself this week. ❤️🤔
