Hey everyone! You may have noticed we didn't have a morning show yesterday. We've been going strong every week since March, but I've decided we're going to take this week off. Just wanted to let you all know so you're not wondering where we are in the mornings! Thanks to everyone who's continued to show up and spend their mornings with us. We appreciate you!

Just because someone posts something confidently doesn’t mean it’s true. I’ve seen a few things floating around lately about Skool that people are taking as fact, getting upset about, and then repeating to other people without actually knowing if the information is accurate. And that’s how fake news spreads. Before you change something in your community, get mad about how something works, or start teaching it to someone else, make sure you actually have the right information. I was just sent the craziest rumor yet about Google taking a percentage of payments that is just completely fake news. It made me go “what the helly?” so much that I decided tomorrow on The Skool Morning Show we’re clearing up fake news. Eric won't be here tomorrow, so just me answering and clearing anything up. So what have you heard? Drop it below or ask live on the show. Growth Boost? Affiliates? Payments? Attribution? Something else about how Skool works? Ask me anything you’ve heard that you’re not sure is actually true. If I know the answer, I’ll give it to you. If I don’t, I’ll tell you I don’t know. BUT I will find out the answer! ...if you try to tell me a rumor about the secret project, I will rick roll you. LOL this is not for trying to be sneaky! Let’s see how much fake news we can clear up tomorrow! (Cuz I'm over the BS and we need to be able to focus on truth and traffic.)

I really loved this video because I think this is something a lot of us need to hear, especially when you spend so much of your time building a business and community you genuinely enjoy being part of. Stepping away can be hard. Sometimes it isn’t even because you feel like everything will fall apart without you. You just actually like what you do and the people you get to spend your days with. But I loved what he said about the difference between what you want and what you need. Sometimes getting away from your normal routine gives you the chance to realize how much you actually love the life you’ve created. You notice what you miss, what you’re thankful for, and maybe even some things you want to do differently when you get back. I think we all need moments that remind us how much we have to be grateful for currently, even when we aren’t exactly where we want to be yet. There was also something really interesting happening with his communities while he was gone. Normally they get around 3 to 5 new trial members a day while actively promoting, but while he was on the Camino and doing significantly less, there were days they got around 15 new members. That doesn’t mean stepping away magically grows your community or that will happen for everyone... But it is a pretty cool reminder that sometimes the work you’ve already done keeps working even when you aren’t sitting there actively pushing it forward every day. If you’re an entrepreneur who has a hard time taking a break from your business, I think this is worth watching. Maybe it's not a full 10 days. Maybe it starts with 1 day a week being just for you. We missed you on Skool, @Calvin Hollywood! Thank you for sharing this real video and reminding everyone that it's okay and they have permission to step away for a bit. Keeping your flame through all that walking is some commitment 😅

The new ChatGPT model came out, and apparently ChatGPT Astra can actually control your computer and take actions for you. Including opening Skool and sending DMs. My Skool Morning Show cohost @Eric Howell tested GPT Astra 6 and told me to check my Skool DMs. I opened them to a message from HIS account that said: “Hello, this is ChatGPT.” And I am not sure how I feel about this. AI agents being able to use your computer opens up some really interesting possibilities. Eric already has ideas for how he could use the new ChatGPT Astra model to automate certain tasks, and I can absolutely see where that could be useful. But having AI actually communicating with people through your Skool account feels different to me. If I get a Skool DM from someone, am I talking to that person? Or could I be talking to their AI agent controlling their computer? That is the part that freaks me out a little. I recorded my reaction right after it happened because I genuinely want to know what other people think about this. Would you use ChatGPT Astra to send messages or take actions inside Skool? And where do you think the line should be between AI helping you and AI acting as you? ...Do you think Sam will find a way to block this?

Woohoo!! It's time to celebrate the first person ever to hit $1 Million MRR On Skool!! Making Logan Sendle the very first Goated GOAT! 🐐 This is Skool history in the making! Make sure to congratulate him, because he deserves to be celebrated for this milestone 💪🥳 & keep in mind that anything is possible :) Your goals are definitely achievable 🫶
