Story Sunday: How I Joined the Yard… and Got Banned (Multiple Times)
This is a true story. I joined Jack’s Skoolyard full of optimism, curiosity, and just enough confidence to be dangerous. Fast forward a bit and I somehow managed to: - Get banned during sprints - Get banned on (or around) live calls - Get banned when I wasn’t entirely sure what rule I’d broken. At this point, I wasn’t even surprised anymore. It became less “Oh no, I’m banned” and more “Ah yes… this again.” But here’s the thing. Despite the bans (or maybe because of them), I stuck around. Because underneath the chaos, the intensity, and the occasional digital slap on the wrist, this place: - Forces you to show up properly - Exposes lazy thinking fast - Rewards people who keep playing the long game I didn’t just learn how Skool works. I learned how I work under pressure, feedback, and accountability. And weirdly… getting banned became part of the initiation ritual. And it makes for a good story too. So yeah. Still here. Still learning. Still occasionally toeing the line. Still grateful I didn’t quietly disappear after ban #2 😅. Or even ban #20 🤪. Maybe @Evelene Sterling encouraged me to stay. Or maybe it was just to see how many bans I could actually get. We may never know. So here's a poll for the brave: What’s your Skoolyard experience so far? Drop your vote (or your ban story) below. This feels like a safe space… mostly 😄.
