Remember my post when @Sofiya Pierce threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to beat her 10K activities in a single day on Skool? Well... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED AND CRUSHED 💪 Final score: 10,540 activities 🔥 I was planning to do this Thursday, but then I saw a post about ranking and thought "let me just quickly check out these comments and engage with the community..." 3,000 activities later: "Well, I'm already this deep... might as well finish what I started" 😅 The Game: Spent hours going through posts and got completely hooked on book recommendations. Now I'm obsessed with "He Who Fights With Monsters" (currently on book 1, but I think I need the physical copy because this story deserves my full attention!). Maybe I discovered next favorite book series completely by accident?? Now, here is where challenge got REALLY interesting... I wasn't just mindlessly clicking (though Skool did tell me to slow down at one point ). I was choosing posts that caught my attention, and I discovered something about engaged communities. They don't just share niche content, they create REAL conversations about everything because they're actual communities, not just content dumps. People started DMing me saying they noticed I liked a bunch of their posts. These conversations are turning into genuine connections! Seeing what works in highly engaged communities gave me a treasure trove of ideas for my own community engagement Every challenge I do has a specific goal, but the surprise benefits are always better than what I originally aimed for. This one was supposed to be about hitting a number . Instead it became a masterclass in community engagement and genuine connection. Big shout out to @Sofiya Pierce you were right, this was tough but so worth it!

Yesterday, I met up with Goose and Evelyn and a bunch of other Skoolers at the Oktoberfest. Before we hosted a mastermind in Munich to discuss highly engaged communities. We didn’t just cover the core 3 essentials of every community, but also the 3 most important traits for every community owner. In the video below, I synthesized everything into actionable tasks and included a 7th which helps you grow your community on autopilot. Next week we are going to cover how we got the star. Huge shoutout to @Sofiya Pierce again for coming up with the strategy. Add it to your calendar here. What do you think are the top 7 secrets? Find out by watching the video below.
