Happy Monday, I want to try something a little different this week. Instead of me dropping all the content ideas, I’m opening the floor. If you had to share 1–3 content ideas that you think would work well for someone else in this community, what would they be? Not polished prompts. Not “expert” advice. Just ideas you’ve noticed, tested, or thought, “Someone here could run with this.” If this feels weird or you’re thinking, “Isn’t this what you’re here for?” — totally fair. I’ve got ideas ready too, and I’ll add mine into the thread as the day goes on. But I’m curious what you see, what you’re picking up on, and what you’d pass along to someone else in the room. Drop 1–3 ideas below. And if one sparks something for you, jump in and build on it.

A reminder for our newer faces (and honestly, all of us): One of the fastest ways to gain clarity isn’t doing more content. It’s letting other smart humans into your thinking. Borrow the room is a simple, low-pressure way to do that. This is a collaboration prompt. Not a pitch. Not a performance. The goal is to get our community talking, asking better questions, and spotting opportunities together. Post the following: 1️⃣ What you’re working on right now (keep it short. Think context, not a backstory) 2️⃣ One question or decision you’re stuck on Something you’d actually appreciate another set of eyes on 3️⃣ How others can help you right now Feedback, ideas, connections, collaboration, clarity, encouragement — name it Then commit to being part of the room: ✔ Jump into at least 2 other posts ✔ Ask a thoughtful question or offer a practical suggestion ✔ Share honest, grounded input. No hype. No fluff. This community works best when we use it with each other, not beside each other. You don’t have to grow alone. Borrow the room💙

Just for fun who’s watching the Super Bowl? Do you watch just for the Half Time Show and the commercials or just for the Game? I’m in Canada and don’t have Sportsnet so I’ll catch the commercials and Half Time replay on YouTube 😀

(Shared this on my LinkedIn today) As a social media strategist, if I was advising Skool, this 👇 is what I’d tell them to keep doing. Skool doesn’t market the platform. They market the people building on it. Because "people buy from people" - Bob Burg I’ve been watching Skool News on YouTube lately. Partly as a community owner. But mostly because I needed to look at this through a marketing lens. They feature: • small communities • growing communities • established communities • the messy middle in between From a marketing standpoint, this matters. People don’t take action because something looks impressive. They take action when they can see where they fit. By normalizing every stage of growth, Skool removes pressure and replaces it with momentum. This is relationship-first marketing. This is progress over polish. And this is why it works. How to Use This for Your Business on Social Skool’s strategy works because it’s human. You can apply the same approach, even as a solo business. 1. Share progress, not just results Post what you’re building, testing, or learning while it’s happening. 2. Show who your work is for Share real questions, conversations, and moments you already have with clients or members. 3. Normalize the messy middle Talk about what’s slower, what changed, or what didn’t work the first time. 4. Spotlight people over offers Feature clients, members, or community moments instead of pitching constantly. 5. Let people see themselves before you sell If someone at your stage feels welcome, conversion follows. Bottom line: You don’t need better content. You need better representation.

I don’t usually get loud about numbers, but this one matters. 📊 Discovery rank: under #3000 👥 Members: 29 (- banned 1🤣) 🔥 Active members: 83% (24 of you actively showing up) That’s a very healthy signal. Small room, big participation. Exactly the kind of community I want to build. If you know someone who’s overthinking content, tired of posting into the void, or wants a calmer, smarter way to show up, feel free to invite them. You’ve got an affiliate link, so it’s a win for you too 🤍. Also worth noting 👀 Premium is $27/month until the end of February, and honestly… things are just getting good in there. Thanks for being here early and helping shape this space. Who’s one person you immediately thought of when you read this?
