Skool Stories is back on the Skool Stories YouTube channel and this return episode sets the tone for what is coming next. @Matthew Thompson and Evelyn Weiss sit down with Andrew Kirby and Claire Quinn to walk through how Skool started for them, what happened before Skool even existed, and how they ended up working at Skool today. Andrew talks about starting as a customer in Sam Ovens’ previous company and mastermind, watching Sam pivot to Skool, and investing when nobody really knew what Skool was yet. He explains how he ended up as one of the first investors, launched the first free Skool community for “synthesizers” who love to learn and teach, and later helped big creators bring their people into Skool. He walks through the full Hamza story from the original “why self improvement YouTubers are lying to you” video, to Hamza using his dopamine detox Reddit to get early subscribers, to the Loom plan that helped Hamza go from about twenty thousand a month to two hundred thousand a month in roughly thirty days with a Skool launch. Claire talks about starting as a nurse in a major trauma unit during covid, getting pushed into full responsibility early, and eventually hitting a point where she could not keep going at that pace. She explains how she moved into online work, took a Twitter job with Tiago Forte, helped launch Building a Second Brain, and then over time found her place at Skool as executive assistant, quietly running a lot of the details behind events and day to day operations. What makes this episode special is how candid it is. You get to see the messy middle. The unexpected turns. The exact moments where their lives and Skool crossed paths in a way neither of them planned. If you want a true inside look at Skool’s rise and what is coming next for creators, members, and the platform itself, you will want to watch this entire episode from start to finish.

I have a free community where moms can join and get advice and support for their newborn babies. I've been a nurse for 30 years, and I spent over 10 years in the neonatal ICU. My goal with my community is to share what I've learnt in a way that's simple, clear and easy to implement. So if you're a newborn mom, who would appreciate some support and guidance for their baby, then join my community for free here: https://www.skool.com/new-born-baby-sleep-9071/about?ref=8437fc3360a447fcbf9f6b1a8e854987 PS: If you aren't a newborn mom but you know one who'd benefit from the community, feel free to send them over too :)

I've seen a lot of people in Skoolers mention they've come from either the Hormozi launch or from seeing the Meta ads.. I want to know where you guys first heard about Skool?? Was it a creator/community owner? Hormozi?? Ads???

Part of the magic of creating on Skool is that you can get some members from Discovery! They talked about it on the Skool News that became lesson 6 for Skool 101. And if you're not getting members yet, then it's important you optimize these things: - Your Group Cover Photo. (People are very visual buyers) - Catchy Group Description. (Should make them go hmm I want this and need to know more.) Then your About Page comes into play. Skool is GROWING and not just the amount of community owners, but also in how many users. Which means more on Discovery.. and you know what that means.. more chances for your community to be seen! I thought it'd be fun for everyone to guess how many users are on the platform right now, so vote below and then you can use this comment from Sam as the answer key. If you feel like sharing what you're doing below to optimize for more views, then drop it below! It might help someone else change their game. 🫶
