Last week I lost my Skool flame for the first time in 365 days, and it happened in the middle of the best three to four weeks I've ever had. I made nine interactions that day. You need ten to keep the flame. It happened because I've cut right back. I used to post and comment across a lot of communities every day. Now I post far less, and I only put something up if I think you'd bookmark it. The other change is the order. In every post and every video, the person reading or watching comes first. Whatever I've got to promote goes at the bottom. The title is what these feeds look like to me a lot of days. I've got this, I've got that, join this, join that. It's promotion with nothing to learn from and no story behind it, and people scroll past because nobody opens a feed hoping to be sold to. We're all here to promote what we do and make money. I am too. I've just found it works better when the reader gets something first. I'm not telling you to do the same. These are small tweaks that worked for me, and they mean you'll see me around less. Agree or disagree? Tell me below. And the bottom of the post, as promised: if you run a Skool community and want YouTube to bring members into it, that's what we work on in The Content Revenue Lab. It's free to join.

Something I've been thinking about for a long time, and one of the reasons I created The Skool Trauma Hub. Trauma support communities are incredibly important. We need spaces where we can talk openly about our struggles, vent our frustrations, express our anger and share the lasting impact of trauma. Places where we can say, "I'm struggling today," without being told to move on, forgive, think positively or just let go. But I believe we also need to make space for something else. Hope. Possibility. Growth. Change. As someone who has lived with CPTSD, I know how overwhelming and exhausting life in survival mode can be. I've experienced what it's like to struggle to feel safe, to feel stuck, and to wonder whether things could ever really be different. But gradually, over time, I found ways to heal, grow and build a different life. Not because the past disappeared. Not because everything became easy. And certainly not because I simply decided to think positively! It took time, support, understanding, setbacks and lots of small steps. Eventually, I was able to turn my most difficult experiences into a sense of purpose, supporting others. And I know I'm not the only one. There are people who have experienced trauma and gone on to build healthier relationships, rediscover themselves, find joy, feel safer and create lives they once struggled to imagine. These stories deserve to be heard too. Not to minimise anyone's pain or create pressure to heal, but because sometimes hearing that change has been possible for someone else helps us imagine that it might be possible for us. 💚 That's the kind of community I'm building in The Skool Trauma Hub. A place where we can acknowledge the pain of trauma while also making room for connection, learning, hope and growth.

Today is the LAST DAY! 🍉 And before Watermelon Crush disappears, I want you to understand why I'm so excited about this one! What if your daily energy drink could do more than just give you caffeine? Most people are already spending $3–$7 a day on coffee, sodas, or energy drinks. But are you paying attention to what you're actually putting into your body? Let's talk about Rush Extreme! ⚡ Natural caffeine for energy 🧠 Nootropic ingredients for focus and cognitive support 💕 Ingredients that may support mood and well-being 🔥 Metabolism and appetite support 🌿 Moringa, white tea extract, and more 💊 A blend of essential vitamins and minerals And here's something I really want you to understand about B12! Rush Extreme contains methylcobalamin, an active form of vitamin B12. B12 plays an important role in: - Converting food into usable energy - Supporting healthy nerve function - Red blood cell production - Normal brain and nervous system function Unlike some forms of B12, methylcobalamin is already in a form the body can use in certain biological processes. That doesn't mean everyone needs extra B12, but getting enough is important for your overall health! And Rush Extreme includes other important nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, B6, zinc, chromium, and more! This is why I love looking at what we're getting for our money instead of just grabbing another energy drink out of habit. 🍉 AND YOU HAVE OPTIONS! You can grab Watermelon Crush individually OR choose a bundle that fits your goals! Here's what's available: 🍉 Accelerate Duo — Rush Extreme + Ignite 🍉 Accelerate Trio — Rush Extreme + Ignite + Gold 🍉 Double Threat Extreme — Rush Extreme + Burn 🍉 Metabolic Bundle — Rush Extreme + Ignite + Hydrate 🍉 Triple Threat Extreme — Rush Extreme + Burn + Gold 🍉 The Fab 5 — Rush Extreme + Gold + Balance + Ignite + Burn Whether you're looking for energy, focus, daily nutrition, or a more complete wellness routine, there's an option to explore! ⏰ TONIGHT AT 11:59 PM EASTERN, IT ENDS!
