... And I burst out laughing 😂 I've been doing scattered 🧑‍💻 web work since the 90s... (Oh the fun domains I once owned) We were talking about saving money by switching some backend systems and stuff... ChatGPT said ... "Since you’ve been in domains since the OpenSRS era (which is practically Jurassic Park for internet years 🦖)" Yup, I'm a cat with more than 9 lives now loving living in the Skooliverse 😺

Ever had your merch start a conversation or turn into a client? 😎 Today my dog was barking and I went out to see what the ruckus was all about. The pool guy was coming in. He saw my Skool hat and asked, “Have you done the Games?” Next thing I know, we’re chatting about various application or ways to use skool beyond basic course or community. Alex Hormozi has talked about how it can set Realtors and plumbers apart and boost customer retention, reactivation, retention, and referrals as customer loyalty increases because of the unique experience a community offers clients. Earlier in the day I had been outlining possibilities for family chiropractic and a local swim skool. There's a Folsom Local community I've been working on getting kickstarted for businesses, organizations, and individuals here in the Folsom, California vicinity. Wondering what other local businesses might be doing I started exploring the Discovery tab... diving into Pool Pros, Pool Owners, Swim Clubs. Skool isn’t just for courses... it’s a playground for possibilities. From pool maintenance to chiropractic clinics, from local services to creative neighbors Skool can be your website, attraction vehicle, customer nurture perk, and your business visibility booster all in one. 💭 Imagine this: - A space where your clients hang out, share wins, and refer friends. - A place that builds loyalty, without paying a social media manager or web team. - A tool that turns conversations into conversions. That’s the real power of Skool... connection that compounds. 🎥 I filmed a little behind-the-scenes chat about it (and yes, it’s unfiltered and full of tabs and tangents). Check it out below, and let me know your idea for a local business skool ❓🗨️ Do you have a merch conversation moment to share?
