I knew this community was fun but Friday's Never Have I Ever took it to another level. The things you all confessed to... Someone walked down the street in drag for a screen audition. Someone stole a snowmobile. Someone bribed a dockworker. Someone's been awake for 51 hours straight. The list goes on. And then a few of you played really good detectives and guess way more than I thought! 🕵️‍♂️ With no further ado, we have an official winner: @Tim Stewart!!!! 🏆 Congrats Tim!!! As promised, Tim will be getting the first ever 24 hour pinned post to his Skool community. 🎯 The runner ups were🥈2-Way Tie: @Barbi Wiest & @Iris Ocariza 🥉 6-way TIE: @Khent Lj | @Elizabeth Jaworski | @Faderera Adesina | @Nick Nebelsky | @Nathaniel Parant very well played to you all!

Pause what you're doing and congratulate these people!!! This week not one, but THREE people earned their stars on Skool!!! Please congratulate @Shannon Boyer, @Lydia Wilmsen, and @Nick Nebelsky!!!! 🎉 These are the owners of: The Classifieds | Advertise Your Skool | AI Storytellers ⭐️ These aren't just emojis. They're symbols of consistency, hard work, and showing up when it matters. They're the result of showing up day after day; even when life is busy, even when you're tired, even when no one seems to notice. It's the result of brilliance, community, and leading with value. And here's the thing: a lot of you are doing this right now. You're showing up. You're contributing. You're building. Some of you are a few weeks away from your star. Some of you just earned your fire. Some of you are quietly grinding without any recognition at all; and that's real too. Give it all time. These three just hit the milestone this week. But the work you're putting in? It's seen, and it matters just as much. Keep going.

One of my written goals for 2026 is to reach 2000 members. Yesterday I hit 1000 members...... halfway to my goal on the 13th day of the year! I would like to thank a few people here that have me grow my group over the last 30 days. First my wife (not in this group) for her support and ideas for engaging posts! Second all of my amazing members who show up, comment, like, and share the group all over! @Heather Boers @Lynice Bamm @Nat J. @Ina Tenniswood these are just a few... If you are an active member and you are here in let me know! Third: @Joseph Groom Over at Skool Hub for creating a place to connect and promote! Last but not least, @David Iya for the motivation and ideas to scale my business in 2026! 🟢Here are the top 3 ways I grew my group to 1000. (507 in 30 days) 1️⃣ First was clear and easy Affiliate Program: Here’s exactly how it happened: 1. Weekly Affiliate Challenges 🎯 Every Monday I posted a simple challenge for affiliates: Top referrer each week won a 30-min 1-on-1 call with me. Result: Affiliates sent consistent traffic all month long. 2. Ready-to-Use Swipe Copy & Graphics 📌✨ I gave everyone plug-and-play text + Canva graphics to promote the free community. No one had to start from scratch — they just copied, swapped their link, and posted. Made it dead easy for affiliates to spread the word. 2️⃣ Being active in other groups! Show up and make real connections! No tips.... just do it! 3️⃣ I ran a few ads on Pinterest! ( spent $20 in the past 30 days!) - Pinterest acts like a visual search engine where people actively hunt for solutions (courses, communities, tools), so ads reach buyers with high intent instead of passive scrollers. - One well-targeted ad can keep driving traffic and new Skool members for months or even years — unlike most platforms where content dies after 24 hours. - With low competition and strong buyer mindset, Pinterest ads deliver some of the highest ROI for Skool owners looking to fill their groups without constant manual outreach.

Back in 2017, I had zero experience owning a gym, zero ninja warrior background, and zero clue how to run a business like this. I was a regular guy who loved the idea of a ninja gym – the energy, the obstacles, the community vibe – but I had no roadmap, no investors, no fancy business plan just a supportive wife and a few friends. I could have waited for the “perfect” moment: perfect location, perfect equipment, perfect marketing plan, perfect everything. Instead I did the only thing that actually moves the needle: I just started. We signed the lease on a small warehouse space, bought used equipment off Facebook Marketplace, built obstacles and remolded for a few months. Lots of looooong days and nights! Ninja Hub opened on May 1, 2018 & the official grand opening took place on June 9, 2018, where American Ninja Warrior all-star Grant McCartney (The Island Ninja) and international musician Aaron Boyd put on a meaningful, heartfelt, and action-packed evening of FUN for the community. At the end of 2019, Ninja Hub expanded by adding on 2,000 square feet of obstacle-packed gym space, taking the total size of Ninja Hub from 5,400 to 7,400 square feet. The excitement of a new year with brand new structures & obstacles came to a screeching halt in March 2020, when the world stopped & Ninja Hub was forced to close for nearly 3 months. The future of Ninja Hub was unknown, as we didn’t know if it could survive the year with the lack of activity & support. Once the gym reopened, the rest of 2020 was depressingly slow, as so many people were still afraid to visit a gym. The decision was made on January 2, 2021, that if things didn’t pick up within the next 30 days, Ninja Hub would close forever. Apparently God had other plans because January 2021 ended up being one of Ninja Hub’s busiest months to date. There was no doubt that Ninja Hub had a purpose & would go on! There have been hills & valleys, challenges & struggles, but there’s no question that Ninja Hub has made its mark on the community.
