I am honored to be speaking at the Simplify to Scale Summit this week, along with some incredible members of this community! The lineup of speakers is incredible, and the strategies being shared are going to be world-class. To help you capture every ounce of value from the event, @Ayoub Kallel and I are hosting Daily Insight Calls inside my free community, Unlock The Collective.

Don't just listen to the strategy, let's build the plan to implement it. Join the community and don't forget to register for the event!

The time has come to pull back the curtains and share a peek inside the CLASSIFIEDS. If you are new here, this is a weekly feature that I share on the request of the members. You may have also noticed that the CLASSIFIEDS got a bit of a glow up and a name change. We are now the skool CLASSIFIEDS, although still just affectionately referred to as the CLASSIFIEDS. Why? Well, this was the name I originally wanted for the group, but someone I consulted with told me that Skool was cracking down on people using the term/logo in their communities and to leave it out, so I did. I've decided to change, though, for a couple of reasons: first, that is obviously not true, second it is better for SEO and Discovery, and third because if our thumbnail shows up in someone's sidebar, they need more context to click and learn more. I'd love to know what you think! The Data: Number of Members: 1164 (+107) Number of Premium Members: 198 (+11) Percentage of members who are Premium : 17% (- 0.8%) About Page Conversion: 27.8% (+1.8%) Discovery Ranking in Money: #28 (+5) Discovery Ranking Overall: #96 (+5) Highest Activity Day: 2276 (+122) Lowest Activity Day: 1048 (+15) Percentage of members at level one: 32% The Context: We had a strong week, and we got the 🌟 back!!! I have to admit that while I don't seek it out actively, I did miss it when it was gone! I'm curious to see how this week's posting party affects (or doesn't affect) our ranking... While the number of premium members went up, the percentage of members has gone down from an all time high of 20%, so that's on me to better educate people on the benefits of being a premium member. Thanks to @Christina Ryan for sharing her experience being a premium member here. You will also notice a new statistic that I'm tracking, which is the percentage of members at level one. Thanks to @Albert Reyna for pointing out that this is a statistic we should all be proud of. Let's see what we can do to get more people engaged. If you are curious about his thoughts on the matter, you can find them here!

We just wrapped up the inaugural Deep Dives & Dialogues. The consensus? This wasn't a normal Zoom call. 😎 We didn't talk about "hacks." We audited the psychological and genetic DNA of founders who actually scale. 🛑 Why you need to watch this: If you are working hard but staying stuck, you might be fighting against your own operating system. We revealed the data (Gallup & Cass Business School) that explains why some founders grow 5x faster than others. Inside this Deep Dive: - 🧬 The Genetic Split: How much of your success is pre-wired? (The data suggests 48%—we discuss how to hack the rest). - 🚀 Promoter vs. Salesperson: The subtle shift that makes marketing feel effortless. - 🛡 The Risk Matrix: How to handle "Unknown Unknowns" without panicking. This is the blueprint for the rest of 2026. 👇 Watch the full breakdown below. Want to experience the room? Join Unlock the Collective today!

When you join a group, it’s always a good idea to make note of whether the group is public or private. Public means anyone in the world can see everything inside the community (unless there are locks on courses). Everything inside is also indexed by search engines like Google. Private means only the people inside the group can see what’s posted. So while most people will choose rightly to have a private group, the whole point of the CLASSIFIEDS is to enhance your visibility and get you more members. I don’t want you wasting your time posting about your group and having it only seen by the people inside this community (as wonderful as they are!). On the flip side, make sure groups you are in where you are posting sensitive information are private. Check out the groups you are in. Any surprises???

If you are new to the group, Friend Friday is where we get the chance to showcase someone we know who has a community that is doing amazing things. It is also the only time that you are allowed to share affiliate links! So, if you know of someone who has helped you or is helping others with their community, please give them a shoutout in the comments below and then tag them or send them a DM to let them know you shared about them here. I promise, you will make their day! DO NOT START A NEW POST, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW. 😊 I can't wait to see what you share! Have a great weekend. 🎉
