You guys are definitely doing something right 💪 I've been on Skool for ~6 months. Never found a community I really wanted to be part of. But this mission to help dads who help dads hits so close to home. So today I took the plunge: - Had a great day engaging in the posts. - Hopped on a zoom to connect with @Jon Peters. - Joined the Best Skool Dad Ever call. - And created the Charlotte Dads community. My primary community is more of a resource hub with a lot of course content and low/no engagement. Charlotte Dads will be the opposite, with a focus on daily engagement and relationship building. I love using podcasts to seed meaningful conversation, so my plan is to drop two episodes each week that we can discuss and debate in the threads. There are also a ton of local 5k/10k races here in Charlotte that would be great opportunities to meet up and connect in person. And, now that the weather is good, we can get back into paintball! 🫟 The men's group I'm part of started playing last year and it's been an unbelievably good time. There is so much accumulated wisdom in this group and I very much look forward to connecting with more of you and learning from @Brian Walsh, @James Blackburn, and @Ryan Carnohan as I go! Thanks for being here and for setting this direction! 🔥🔥🔥

📌FYI I ripped this from Evelyn's free community but she as this info in her paid community (which I joined about a week ago) This is the basis for many of the changes I've made in the last week. I decided to shit or get of the pot... I'll let ya'll know the results over next few weeks 😂 Evelyn writes: 👇 Most Skool community owners stay stuck in free forever because they're waiting for the wrong signals. Engagement, member count, a buzzing feed… None of those tell you you're ready to go paid. In this one I break down the traps that keep community owners waiting, and what replaces them. A bit of what's inside: 👉 Why engagement and marketability live in completely separate buckets 👉 What to actually sell on the front end to bring people into your community 👉The $10 to $15 ad test that tells you within 72 hours if your community is ready to go paid 👉 How to handle existing free members when you flip the switch You really are one good in-skool offer away from going paid.

What's up Skool Dads! We are 76 strong and today we had even more people on the call. Here are some highlights: - We are tracking 16 Skool Dads communities on the Skool Dads Dashboard - It shows how many members across all of these communities and reminds us all of the families we are impacting - We have a new James in the community, @James Traub who introduced himself and how he's helping men navigate the complexities of divorce and how he's thinking about creating a new community for Dad's specifically! - We talked about collaborations and speaking on other communities and how to grow monetization together (ps use your custom Skool Dads invite to bring other dads to the fire so we know and possibly gain affiliate revenue if/when we turn on monetization) - And this week's challenge is to collect your social proof: Every day post in the wins category to show you requested feedback from your community members and gathered kudos to show potential members As @Ryan Carnohan always says: LET'S GO!

@James Traub and I just way too deep on the welcome post, but that’s the magic of Skool. I read a lot and every time I don’t just read I study, implement and share. Anyone down for reading a book with me?

Excited to have you! Watch this video and introduce yourself in the comments! Be sure to share all your socials so we can support each other outside of Skool too!!! 🤜🤛
