Mitchell here It nice to meet you all. I’ve been building and studying online communities for a while now, and I’m honestly just excited to be in a space where people actually care about community not just sales. Skool has been super interesting to me because retention + culture seem to be the real game. I’m always trying to learn how to: - Reduce churn naturally - Improve engagement without forcing it - Create systems that feel human (not robotic) Would love to connect with other builders in here. What’s been your biggest win (or struggle) growing your Skool lately? 🌱 Happy to learn and contribute where I can.

I think it's ending tomorrow, so I'm calling it. I might not be the official winner, but my community went from 2930 to to 1265 in Discovery. (proof in the screenshots below) Nothing to write home about, I know. Most Goosify members have six stars and are in the top 5 of their category and the top 10 of everybody else's. You're beautiful, and I'm proud to fly with geese like you. But this is a big move by my standards. Especially since these aren't just numbers, but real communities run by real people. And I leaped over 1665 of them with a TON of help from people like @Benjamin Ross, @Anthony Walsh (who also helped me rediscover an old passion), @Kimberly Wright, @Jay Hanan, @Angela Chen Shui, @Ellie Hayes, @Jing Wang, @Justin Yip, @Tommy Gan, @Mark Eldridge, @Wendy Wiseman, @Addie Beall, @Christine Knight IFS, @Leeanne Hurren, @Justin Ferraraccio, @Dianna Carlton, @Artem Zakharov, @Tony Sibbald, @Taylor Richard, @Florian Rolke, @Mia Aurelia Greco, @Fiona Hernandez @Anita Kozlowski, @Chad Noorman, @Jeffrey Saathoff and 69 other amazing, encouraging Goosifiers. I feel like I won. And if you did the blitz, you won, too.

I had the chance to hop on a call with @Wally Shaykhoun today, just to chat and shoot the shit. No expectations, just a conversation. During our call, he guided me through what I’d call an energetic, emotional inner child clearing, and honestly, it was nothing like anything I’ve experienced before. It was super powerful. I could feel the energy moving through my body, and he helped me release some really stuck stuff I’ve clearly been holding onto for a long time. It hit deep. I felt really light afterward, but also pretty wiped for a bit. After doing some grounding, I’m starting to feel energized again. That kind of release takes a lot out of you, but in the best way. I’m incredibly grateful we connected and that I was open to the experience. Thank you so much, Wally. I really appreciate you, man. It’s moments like this that remind me how powerful connection can be. Just being open to hopping on a call with someone, saying yes, and seeing what happens can lead to something you didn’t even know you needed. The old me wouldn’t have done that. I would’ve been too nervous or self-conscious. The new me stays open, because you never know who you’re going to connect with, what doors might open, or what kind of healing or growth might come from it. My advice, take the opportunities when they show up. You never know where they’ll lead.

Just wanted to give a quickie shoutout to everyone on here who has "69ed" with me! @Jack Froehler @Brian Rushalski @Jan Danielewicz @Louis Pendley I truly appreciate you guys!! One of the things I love about Skool and Goosify is how people actually match my fuckin energy!!! ⚡️ I've def had a few people come at me with some weird desperate "I'm just talking to you so that you buy my shit" vibes but that's just life haha. As I have been learning how to build a badass community and make it rain on Skool, these people have helped me on my way by taking interest in me, liking my stuff, interacting with me, letting me learn from them and making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. THANK YOU ILY!!
