In the past 30 days, we got over 100 new members in this community. If you joined in the middle of this, you probably missed the challenge that kicked off everything. We ran a networking challenge to grow faster together and share our networks. If we share our notes from our networking calls, we all benefit as one big organism. That is how we win together as ONE community. During today's call, I will share my challenge playbook with you so you don't have to start from scratch. This works if you have 20K+ members or a few hundred. You are just one challenge away from getting the ⭐ Star, the 🚀 Rocket, or even winning the Skool Games. Today, we will also celebrate the winners of the September Networking Challenge. Since we got the star, the top #10 on the 30-day leaderboard will receive a mystery prize and the first merch drop of this community. 🎁 Any guesses what this could be? Congratulations to: 1. @Lukas Kulbis 2. @Sam Rathling 3. @Mariam Kipiani 4. @Justin Yip 5. @Paula Soito 6. @Michael Owen 7. @Rich Guy 8. @Demareon Jones 9. @Melvin Zhang 10. @Mirtha Pena I am also announcing the new theme of this community and what you can expect in the future. Add it to your calendar here. See you there?

Today is the final day of the challenge. We set out to make September a month of networking. This month brought new wins, new friendships, and new opportunities. As a result, The Game now sits at rank #15, a massive leap from where we began at #104. Grateful to every single one of you who showed up and made this challenge what it is. 🙏 The winners will be announced tomorrow on the Weekly Game Call. As we wrap up the challenge, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the wins, the connections, and the moments that made this time special. At the end, it's all about the friends we made along the way. 😉 Give a shoutout to the players you connected with during this challenge. 👇

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!
