I'd rather build a network than a sales funnel on this platform.

We don't brag about ourselves nearly enough. It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily grind and the endless to-do lists that we forget to stop, take a breath, and actually recognize our own hard work. So today, I’m turning the spotlight entirely on you. This is an open stage. In the comments below, tell me one thing you’ve accomplished recently that you are genuinely proud of . Did you finally land that difficult client? Did you solve a problem that’s been bugging you for months? Did you just manage to keep the doors open during a tough week? Or maybe you finally hit a personal milestone? I want to hear about your wins so we can celebrate them together. The floor is yours—brag away! 👇

Welcome - I’m glad you’re here. This community is built for local business owners, but marketers bring valuable perspective and I’m genuinely happy to have you. Here’s how this works best for everyone: This is a collaboration space, not a sales floor. Business owners come here to learn and connect, not to get pitched in the comments. I’m protective of that environment. So here’s what I ask: Before you start engaging in discussions, let’s have a quick one-on-one conversation. I want to understand what you’re working on, share what I’m building, and see if there’s a way we can help each other grow. I’m actively looking for collaboration opportunities - partnerships, referrals, joint ventures, whatever makes sense. If that’s why you’re here, we’ll probably get along great. If you’re just here to find clients to DM, this isn’t the right fit. Reach out and let’s chat. I’m easy to talk to and genuinely curious about what other marketers are building in this space.

In this episode he was on one of the top podcasts in the world, Diary of a CEO is a top 10 podcast globally. What hit me is 80% of what he's talking about I know how to do and he's a multi-millionaire. So I'm just saying

I've had Chase Hughes' Six-Minute X-Ray and The Ellipsis Manual sitting on my shelf way too long. These aren't light reads—Hughes is a behavior expert who trained intelligence operatives, and these books break down how to rapidly read people, detect deception, and understand what's really going on beneath the surface of any conversation. I'm applying to attend one of his retreats, so this would be a great way to go deeper on the material before learning from him directly. Figured it's time to stop letting them collect dust and actually work through them together. Mastermind style—read, discuss, apply. Who's in?
