I’m putting the Second Life Leader Skool community on pause. Not because the mission is fading — but because the next chapter needs to be built with cleaner lines, tighter execution, and zero distraction. Right now, all of my energy is going into the systems, proof, and content engine that will make Second Life Leader undeniable. Here’s the move: All new insights, frameworks, and personal 90-day transformation updates will now flow through my Substack: 👉 https://dougutberg.com If you want the sharpest thinking, the behind-the-scenes of the transformation work, and the foundations of what will become the full Second Life Forge ecosystem… that’s where it’s happening. Skool will return when the infrastructure is worthy of the community I intend to lead — tighter cohorts, cleaner ascension paths, and real leverage for the people inside. For now, follow along on Substack, stay in the work, and keep sharpening. — Doug

In the US, this is Thanksgiving week. Tell me one thing you are thankful for.

The average man spends his life maintaining someone else’s system. Clock in. Comply. Collapse. Repeat. But every so often, a man wakes up and realizes: The system doesn’t remember its keepers. It only remembers its builders. This week, I want you to name the one thing you’re building that outlives you. It could be: - A brand - A ritual - A system - A child who carries your discipline - A philosophy that will echo long after you’re gone Drop your answer in the comments. Then go deeper — what’s the next step that moves it from idea to artifact this week? We’re not here to “find balance.” We’re here to forge legacy. Post your legacy project below 👇Bonus points if you share a screenshot, sketch, or photo that makes it real.

Hey everyone — It’s been a little quiet here for a while, but that’s about to change. This space was created to help all of us move forward with clarity, discipline, and purpose — even when life gets messy. Over the next few weeks, I’m rebuilding this community around disciplined action and accountability. Not hustle for hustle’s sake — focused progress on what actually matters. Here’s the rhythm we’ll start today 👇 1. Monday Focus Post – Each Monday, I’ll drop a short post like this. Youshare one clear goal or intention for the week — something that would make Friday feel like a win. 2. Friday Reflection – We’ll check back in at the end of the week. Wins, lessons, stuck points — all welcome. The point is to see progress again. 3. New Direction – I’ll also be sharing updates on how this community is evolving — more systems, more structure, more conversations that help you build a second life with purpose. Let’s keep it simple this week: What’s one thing you’re committed to completing or improving by Friday? Drop it in the comments below. Let’s start rebuilding momentum together.

What have you found is the best way to handle when you feel massively overwhelmed? I recently started an INTENSE consulting gig and have been struggling to keep up with all my other rituals + commitments.
