In the UK, May Day, the fist Monday in May is always a public bank holiday. It's usually celebrated with street fetes of which we've just come back from cold and saturated (it was sunny when we left then poured down, so we dived under cover into the nearest record shop), but I did manage to find some rare 1980's vinyl for my collection. So normally weekends for me are non-negotiable family, friends and me time. I'm telling you this so you know I haven't just abandoned you all... it's 2 days (3 in this case) where I enjoy scheduled evergreen time with my family and more local friends, and things that give me joy. Even if that's just watching TV with my kids like I did this morning. So, I'll be a bit quieter at weekends . Just letting you know why. Hope you're all enjoying a lovely one. What are you all up to this weekend? I hope whatever it is it's giving you peace and joy.

Drop a selfie and say Hi with one quick line about yourself, and tag two people. 😍

Little PSA for your sanity 👇 One of the first things I do with every new Skool I join is go in and switch the notifications off. Not because I don’t care, because I do … but just because the default Skool setting is to have pretty much 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻, and honestly, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴! Your inbox fills up every time someone posts, comments or likes something, and if you’re in a few communities, it gets ridiculous fast. You absolutely do not have to turn them off.But if you want room to focus and get on with what actually matters, you probably don’t want your email dinging every five minutes just because this place is active. Skool didn’t really account for a community like ours; a bunch of people who genuinely want to chat, get to know each other, and help in a more old‑fashioned, authentic way… not the new “numbers game” approach where you are just a number on a spreadsheet. ("I am not a number, I am a free man!", or should that be "person" now?) So, here’s how to reclaim your attention a bit: 𝗢𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗽 1. Go to Skool and click your profile picture in the top‑right corner. 2. Click Settings. 3. In the left sidebar, click Notifications. 4. Under Group notifications, find this community and click Change. 5. Toggle email notifications off for things you don’t want (likes, new posts, comments, etc.), or turn them all off if you prefer to only see updates when you log into Skool. 𝗢𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 (𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲𝗿) 1. Tap your profile icon (usually top‑right). 2. Tap Settings → Notifications. 3. Turn off any email/push notifications you don’t want (likes, new posts, comments, etc.). 4. If your phone is still buzzing, also check your device’s notification settings for the Skool app and switch those off or to “deliver quietly”. You can always turn things back on later or keep just the important stuff (like event reminders) if that works better for you. I’d much rather you choose when you come in here, on your own terms, than feel dragged around by your inbox.

Jack builds Skools for corporates and solopreneurs, and at the moment his “problem” is the kind of problem a lot of us secretly want… too many projects on his plate. Many of you will already know him, but for those that don't, he runs Skoolyard 🧃 (1k+ members), teaching people how to make money on Skool without social media, paid ads or cold DMs... all built around freemium, leveraging with A,I and his Yard Party Method. In other words: he already 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 this whole world. More importantly though, Jack is very much “ONE OF US”. He understands the ethos here: - give real value - build genuine relationships - help people, not just harvest them for lead @Jack Robinson you’re going to fit in perfectly here! Everyone else: if you’re curious about Skool as a platform, how to set things up properly, or how to turn a community into something that actually pays you back, this is 100% the guy to learn from. Lets give him a warm welcome! It's also a great moment to ask a question while we've got this busy man's attention! 👇 Show his community some ❤️

Come say hi!! 👋
