After a lot of thought, we’ve decided to officially shut down this Skool community on Tuesday, May 12th. But I want to make one thing very clear… This is NOT the end of our community. Not even close. This community was never just about a platform. It was about ambitious people coming together to grow. Entrepreneurs chasing big dreams. Creators putting themselves out there. People leveling up their lives, careers, businesses, health, and mindset together. And that doesn’t disappear. Platforms change Business evolves. But the YAP family is here to stay ❤️ So while this Skool chapter is coming to an end, I’d love for you guys to stay connected with us through the places where we’ll continue showing up every single week: 🎙️ Young and Profiting Podcast 📲 Instagram That’s where I’ll continue sharing new interviews, business lessons, behind-the-scenes moments, mindset shifts, and everything we’re building next. Some of you have been here since the beginning. Some of you just joined recently. Either way, I genuinely appreciate you for being part of this community and this journey with me. And trust me…We’re just getting started 🚀

We’re so excited to have you here from the very beginning. This is the start of something special, and we can’t wait to roll out everything we have planned for the year ahead. In the meantime, let’s get to know each other a little better: 1️⃣ What inspired you to become an entrepreneur? 2️⃣ What kind of creator-led business are you building (or hoping to build)? 3️⃣ What’s your biggest challenge right now as a creator or entrepreneur? Drop your answers below—we can’t wait to learn more about you and your journey 💛

I’m hosting a private gathering for podcasters and YouTube creators in Austin this Sunday during SXSW ...and I’d love to meet some of you there. I’m teaming up with Seth Silvers, founder of Story On, one of the top podcast production and strategy agencies for brands. Between Seth running Story On and me leading YAP Media and hosting Young and Profiting, we spend a lot of time thinking about what’s actually working in the podcast industry right now. So instead of another loud networking event, we decided to create something different. This is a curated, invite-only evening for established creators to connect, share ideas, and talk honestly about what’s working, what’s shifting, and where podcasting and YouTube are headed next. No awkward business card exchanges. No sales pitches. Just a great room of creators having real conversations. If you're a podcaster or YouTube creator heading to Austin for SXSW, you can request an invite here: 👉 Request an invite And if you know a creator who should be in this room, tag them below. 🎙️

First — I’m really grateful for this group. Seeing over 100 creators in here already tells me we’re onto something valuable. I want to be very intentional about what we build next. There are a few different ways I can deliver value here — and instead of guessing, I want to hear directly from you. So I’d love your honest take: • When it comes to learning, do you personally prefer in-depth, structured courses or shorter standalone live sessions — and why? • What kind of learning format realistically fits into your life right now? • When it comes to learning how to grow and monetize your creator-led business, what level of investment feels reasonable to you? • If you had to choose, would you prefer: – a monthly membership with live, topical webinars throughout the month (with replays), or – a structured masterclass that takes you through everything A–Z? Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be sharing more live value in here and testing a few formats. Your feedback will directly shape what this turns into. Appreciate you being early and helping me build this the right way 🤍
