Big win for my community today. After going through the Themes lesson and really sitting with the idea that themes are about emotion, not aesthetics, it finally clicked. I landed on The Matrix 🟢 I grew up watching it. Loved it then, still love it now. But more importantly, it represents exactly what I want this community to feel like. Waking up to how things actually work. Questioning systems instead of blindly following them. Choosing to build intentionally instead of running on autopilot. Learning skills that give you leverage and freedom. That classroom breakdown helped me stop overthinking “branding” and focus on the emotional hook instead. The theme isn’t just visuals, it’s the mindset and decisions it reinforces every time someone logs in. Feels really good to finally have a direction that fits 🟢 Curious, what themes have you all landed on for your communities?

just started chatting in the comments with @Aaron Washington & realized he just became a blueberry! Woo!!!! CONGRATS, Aaron!!!! 🫐🫐🫐

My favorite color - Red Favorite Pokemon - I don't really have a favorite since I don't follow or play Pokémon but I think Peek-achoo is one of them right?! Skool Challenge - Currently learning how to use it and researching communities.

My favorite color - Green Favorite Pokemon - Brendan Skool Challenge - building a fun engaged community

Thank you @Goose Dunlavey for the COHORT My live summit is going to be finished next week and I know from experience, after large events energy in the community tends to die after the event is done. I have plans to turn this into connection and collaboration hub, and wondering if you have ideas or what working for you in your community? I know we have so many brilliant minds here who would share ideas. PS I monetised this community right from the start but want to keep this one FREEMIUM
