Exciting News and Information coming! I've opened our paid tiers, and we're continuing the pivot! You'll see this when you click on a course or the calendar and the benefit is with a Premium Membership. Since we're in development, I would love your feedback on the benefits and how they're communicated. Another way to say it is that on the standard tier you have access to the community chat and a few of the courses and you gather information and are learning from each other interacting with each other in the chat and a once monthly virtual meeting. And then in the premium tier is where more of the personal interaction and support from me comes in and the VIP tier includes individualized support. The Friday Coffee Hours are turning to a Mastermind event for Premium Members. This Friday, it will be a hybrid as we pivot - for everyone for the first part and then Premium Members will stay on for the mastermind portion.

One of our members, @Rumbling Thunder asked this in a chat, and I realized others would benefit from hearing the answer: How many channels/businesses are on your platform? There is an EZWay channel that has dozens of sub channels that are VOD - and also has cross-pollinated about half a dozen streaming channels and programs. Plus IVOD EZWay network that is entertainment based. In all these over 30 different entities. Then in other aspects of the community, hundreds and thousands of people and entities are involved.

This community meeting is like a garden check-up for your media ecosystem: we look at the soil (trust), seeds (content), and systems (platforms) you need so your streaming TV vision can actually grow. 🌿 Karin opens by walking through updates to this BloomingVoices Streaming TV skool community, showing a clearer path from free “exploration” content into deeper, paid support for those ready to plant a real channel, not just scatter ideas.​ You’ll hear members talk candidly about burnout🔥 with $10k programs, the need to rebuild trust in small, steady steps, and the tension between ministry, donations, and sustainable business—especially for shows rooted in faith and service. 💬​ Listen in to your fellow members' journeys. Then Dr. Eric Zuley presents the EZWay Network as a kind of irrigation and distribution system for your influence—integrating streaming TV, community, blogging, and high-level relationships so your content shows up credibly on Google and even in AI searches. Q&A rounds it out! Plan to join us next time and get personal interaction with your situation. If you’re asking, “How do I own my platform, my data, and my impact?” this replay is well worth watching. 🌐✨ Watch here
