This Skool community isn’t just another group. It’s a living, breathing ecosystem of entrepreneurs, creators, and dream builders united by one mission, to grow together in business and in life. I’ve had countless deep conversations with many of you, often for hours, and each has reminded me why this community exists. @Charles Altman shared how the Navy built daily battle rhythms to set the day’s objectives. @Pablo Andino showed us that technical mastery isn’t about being elite, it’s about helping others elevate their own craft. @Pratik Moitra stepped up to ensure no one is left behind, offering his technical expertise freely. @Jason Lee has been the watchful eye over our affiliate calendar, ensuring fairness and opportunity for everyone. @Len Crouse continues to dream big, reminding us that we can surpass communities of 30,000+ members charging $10K each, not through money, but through the unstoppable force of value and collaboration. That’s who we are. That’s our DNA! We’re not here to compete. We’re here to collaborate. We’re all small fish right now, but together, swimming in a Skool, we can hang with the best of them. The Road Ahead Here’s what we’re building together: - Focus Leaders & Collaboration Pods: Members step up by interest areas — hosting live sessions like “Technical Tuesdays,” “Marketing Mondays,” or “Funding Fridays.” Each session is open for idea exchange, mentorship, and JV collaborations. - Guest Speakers & Thought Leaders: Imagine TED Talk-style appearances from entrepreneurs, educators, tech pioneers, fashion icons, and political voices sharing their lessons and wisdom with our community. - Contribution as a Right of Passage: When you bring value to the community — teach a skill, host a live, share a deep-dive post, or help another member — that becomes your ticket to belonging. We all contribute. No spectators. - Skill-Building Courses: From launching a business to mastering GoHighLevel, we’ll develop a hub of practical, actionable courses that help members grow faster — professionally and personally. - Affiliate Growth Engine: Once our value is established, we’ll roll out an affiliate sharing system — where members earn 50% commissions for bringing in new, high-quality members. We’ll grow responsibly, with purpose and proof of value.

I've spent significant time diving into the new Agent Studio release from High Level, hoping it would be the game-changing automation tool we all anticipated. Unfortunately, my findings are concerning. While Agent Studio has incredible potential, it appears to have been released with significant bugs and usability issues. During my testing, I encountered: Cryptic error messages with no clear feedback. Generative nodes failing or hanging. A general lack of responsiveness from support. Overall, the user experience is far from optimal, turning us into unintended beta testers. These technical problems aren't just minor glitches; they can have a real business impact on your operations. I'm committed to helping our community navigate these challenges. I've just released a video detailing my full review and experience. Watch it to understand the current state of Agent Studio and what it means for your agency. Curious to hear your experiences with it so far? Hopefully better than mine...
