This Sunday, Sept 6th, 6-7pm Chicago time, I'm opening up the Trip Ideas Lab again. No pressure to show up live. Drop a comment anytime this week about a trip you've been thinking about, a place you're curious about, or something you're stuck on, and I'll be checking in regularly, some Sundays live, some just catching up on replies. Whenever it crosses your mind is the right time. What's on your mind lately, a trip you've already decided on, or one you're still turning over?

Skool has a search bar at the top of every page. It searches three places at once: Discussions, Classroom, and Members. Most people never use it. Here's how to make it work for you. Watch this (3 min): [How to Search Posts in Skool — 2026 Full Guide] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdl9hQJxjJw What each tab actually gives you: - Discussion tab — every post and comment mentioning your search term. Best for finding past conversations, trip Q&A, or what someone said about a place. - Classroom tab — course content and trip pages mentioning that term. Best for finding the actual built-out trip info, not just chatter about it. - Members tab — yes, this searches members, including by city. Type a city name and you'll find members near you.
