If you're new here — hi, welcome, we're so glad you're here. 🤍 HCA just opened its doors and we've got some fresh faces in the community. Whether you stumbled across this place or came here with a specific goal in mind — you're in the right spot. This community was built for social media managers and creative freelancers who are serious about building a real business. Not just winging it. Not just hoping clients show up. Actually building something sustainable with strategy, systems, and people around you who get it. And I know how this goes — when something is free, it's easy to join and quietly observe from the back row. 👀 No judgment. We've all done it. But I want to challenge you to actually show up here. The people who get the most out of HCA are the ones who ask the questions, share the wins, and engage with the community — not just consume it. So let's start right now. Drop a comment below and tell us: 👋 Who you are and what you do 🎯 One thing you're hoping to learn or walk away with from being in this community And for my OGs who have been here a while — ( @Daniel Lutu , @Lashay Broomer , @Miranda Sullivan , @Edward Hollis , @Kailyn Smith , @Coral V. ) This is your moment. Share one thing you've learned, implemented, or shifted in your business since joining HCA. You might not realize it but your answer could be exactly what a new member needs to hear today. 💙

Hi everyone!! 👋 Now that we’ve got a few more members joining, I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself! I’m Mady, the founder of Hollis Creative Academy. Over the last 3 years, I’ve grown our social media marketing company to a healthy mid six-figure business, and along the way I had to figure out a lot of the systems, structure, and strategy on my own. That’s really why I built this community. My hope for HCA is to create a space where we share the wealth — not in a gatekeepy, competitive way, but in a way where more social media managers and freelancers get the opportunity to build real, sustainable businesses. There’s room for all of us to win. Since I’m asking you to introduce yourselves, I’ll go first 😊 1️⃣ Name + where I’m from: I’m Mady, and I’m from Texas (yeehaw) 🤠 2️⃣ What I currently do: I run our content marketing company with my husband and my best friend! We’re currently transitioning the company to focus on video production only, because that’s really where my passion is and we want to spend more time doing the work we love. 3️⃣ Fun fact about me: I’m a mom of two boys and one bonus daughter, and I recently picked up crocheting and I’m honestly obsessed with it right now 😂 4️⃣ What I’m hoping to gain from this community: My biggest hope is that this becomes a space where social media managers and freelancers can gain the skills, structure, and confidence they need to help their businesses truly thrive. I’m really excited to have you all here and see what we build together 💛
