What has been on my mind given that Jake posted that we’re now past the milestone of 40,000 members - what I really love about this community is how people lift each other up and support each other in here. To channel @Bas Rosario ”we grow, learn and win together”. So - do me a favour - come share in the comments about how someone in here has helped you, big or small, and give them the credit for it. (Only one rule, it can’t be me, because I’m posting this and that would just be weird). Everyone already knows I’m only posting in here because @Curtis Hays pushed me to. So I now have to tag him everywhere I go and say so. It’s like an anti-thank you. So I want to shout out some other, less obvious people: @Aaron Klein - I want to thank you for helping @Ruben Aguirre out with his post about making a baseball game with his son. I read the post and I felt awful that it was so far outside my wheelhouse, because I wanted to help and couldn’t, and then I saw what you had done. It was already handled. I was so grateful for you showing up and helping someone with what they were stuck with, especially because I was feeling out of my depth. Thank you. @Gabriel Azoulay - thank you for sharing ideas, provoking real thought and sharing publicly your understanding that my keeping the human in the loop was a judgement choice, not an oversight. Hearing what you thought meant a great deal. I see it and I appreciate it.

Everyone gets something wrong the first time. Vote below, then drop your mistake in the comments so others can learn from it.

We just broke 40k Members, in less then 4 months... To say I am honored and blown away is an understatement. I feel like yesterday @Matthew Creamer quit his job to sleep on my floor and bust out 15 hour days to build out content, structure and anything else I thought you all would need to make this community worth it. But at the end of the day there is only one thing for me to say. THANKYOU None of this, and I mean NONE of this would be remotely worth it if it wasn't for you all. To list and tag everyone that have contributed so much valuable not just to this community but to me would be nearly impossible. Thank you to every single one of you. Thank you for commenting and helping out on posts Thank you for sharing the wins you have gotten both at home and professionally. Thank you for believing in me and what I am building septically those of you who have been around since the beginning (you know who you are). I cannot tell you how happy my heart is to get in front of you all and teach, talk, ask questions and even learn a lot myself. It is a dream come true to become someone that people can learn from; to share my thoughts and have those very thoughts change the way people live their lives and do their work. It's only the beginning too, I can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store, and I promise to keep building, working and recording for you all. From the very very very bottom of my heart.....Thankyou! Thankyou to every single one of you reading this and for being part of such an amazing community.
