Tomorrow, I'll be sending an email to 5,400+ Pinterest Skool members. The main subject of that email could be YOUR Skool Community. 👀 But first... You need to convince me. Imagine you're sitting across from me and I ask one simple question: Why should I tell 5,400+ entrepreneurs, creators, coaches, and business owners about YOUR community? Sell me. Not with a link. Not with hype. Not with "join my Skool." Tell me: ✅ Who your community is for ✅ What transformation members get ✅ What makes your community different ✅ Why someone should join YOUR community instead of the thousands of others on Skool If your answer stands out, I may feature your community in tomorrow's email. 🚫The Rules ✅ Comment below and SELL ME YOUR SKOOL (no links here) ✅ You MUST participate in the Small Business Weekend inside Pinterest Skool (links allowed) The best communities don't just promote themselves... They show up. They engage. They support other business owners. I'm looking for community owners who do exactly that. Tomorrow morning, I'll be reviewing every submission and choosing one (or more) communities that deserve attention. One comment could put your community in front of 5,400+ members. 👇 Sell Me Your Skool.

Only the coolest sport I never knew existed until I turned the ripe old age of 37. Tried it on a lark, and instantly fell in love with it. The fun, the rush, the searing pain as you think you can't last a second longer—all of it. 6 years later, my team of 40-somethings won the world championships. 🏆 The next I year I made Team USA and brought gold home again 🥇. Two years after that, I coached Team USA and brought home 8 silver medals🥈. To this day I can't believe I did that. The most I'd done before that... was ride my bike and hike up a few hills 🤣 Usually, I talk about funnels, and the million ways they can leak without us knowing it. But today, as I'm getting ready to head to the boat yard to do a bit of prep for the start of racing season, I wanted to share something else. Because none of us are just one thing. We're human - we're DEEEEEEP. 🤪 This weird sport has changed my life. Grounded me during a nasty divorce and custody battle. Exhausted my mind so that my body could sleep at night. Took me across borders, grew my family, even gave me a second stream of income! I now run a club in my home state of Vermont, co-created a certification program for our national dragon boat federation, and launched a Dragon Boat Skool to share all the things I've learned over the past 20 years with the world. If you're a dragon boater (or want to be) come join us! If you know someone who is, please share this with them! We're the ONLY dragon boat community on this platform (for now) and I want ALL the dragon boaters of the world in it 🤣 If you've never heard of this sport, what questions do you have? If you've ever wanted to try it and haven't yet, what's stopping you?

It’s an oldie but a goodie. For today’s bonus post, share a tip you wish you had known earlier in your journey. After doing so, explain how your community helps and invite readers to learn more inside!

OOOFFF… right… I’ve just sat and PROPERLY gone through the SKOOL GAMES Q1 results, and I’m not even gonna pretend this was a quick skim… this was one of those “there is A LOT here and I need to actually slow down and LOOK” kind of moments… because when you start clicking through communities, founders, links, activity, pricing, you realise very quickly… this is not as simple as it looks on the surface… AND before I even get into this… let me say this clearly so there’s no weird energy around it… this is NOT me saying anything is right or wrong, this is NOT me calling anyone out, this is me looking from the OUTSIDE IN with curiosity and asking… what patterns can I actually SEE when I remove assumption and just observe what’s in front of me… Because when you do that… things start to reveal themselves… 𝗦𝗢 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧… 𝗟𝗘𝗧’𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜𝗦 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦… One of the first things that hit me was the amount of 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 that are not being run day-to-day by just the founder… I’m seeing multiple admins across the board… 3 admins, 5 admins, 15 admins, … and that immediately shifts the narrative because what you might THINK is “this one person built this” actually looks a lot more like a 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠, 𝗮 𝗦𝗬𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗠, 𝗮 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 that is keeping things moving… Now again… not good, not bad… but important… because if you’re sat there comparing your solo energy to what is essentially a machine with multiple moving parts, then you’re not actually comparing like for like… and that matters when you’re looking at growth, activity, and results… 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗜 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚… 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗧 𝗚𝗢𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚… Because when you actually go into these communities… The Photo Project, Pro Gig Academy, F The Gurus, Eternal Life Tribe, AI Video Bootcamp… different niches, different energies, different messaging… but there was a VERY consistent thread running through a lot of them… These are NOT brand new… We’re talking testimonials from 2025… existing proof… established messaging… audiences that have clearly been building over time… so this idea that these are just fresh communities that popped up and won… doesn’t really hold when you look closer…
