I'm leaving for Italy tomorrow. I have never traveled to Europe before and I will be going on a solo trip. I have learned in life you can't wait around for other people to want to do what you want to do, so this is why I am going on this adventure. Traveling is a passion of mine ... and this trip I am taking would have cost me over $10k but i'm only paying a small percentage out of pocket because I've picked up some travel hacking tips over the years. I just created a brand new free community TRAVEL HACKS SKOOL ✈️ This will be a great place to share tips and upcoming trips! Let's have some fun! Comment where you're planning to travel to this year!

When I co-created the first dragon boat steering certification program in the United States, I thought we was solving a steering problem. We had nooooo idea what we were actually starting... 😱 The steers who came through the program wanted much much MUCH more! - how to become coaches - how to improve their own paddling technique - help developing training plans, running practices, or building stronger teams - navigating the challenges of starting their own clubs - how to make Team USA The sport didn't just need steering education - it needed a HUB. A place where paddlers, steers, coaches, drummers, and club leaders could learn from each other instead of reinventing the wheel every season. So that's what we're building out. A global dragon boat community focused on education, connection, and growing the sport we all love. And now we're taking the next step with an upcoming mini-summit on June 28, to REALLY get the connections and conversations going. If you DO this dragon boat thing too - I'd love to welcome you to Dragon Boat Skool!

I posted every day for two months, and the community was fine. Then I left a bit of space in the feed, and something shifted that I wasn't expecting. For the record, I still post every day. That's just how I'm wired. But what I found out is that it's got nothing to do with why the community works. When I started leaving more space in the feed, members began filling it. Not because I asked them to, just because there was room. The conversations got more interesting. It felt less like a newsletter with a comments section and more like an actual community. I've heard versions of this from other community owners since. One person posted daily for nine months straight, took five days off, and said, despite the short-term dip, they'd do it again just for what it did to their headspace. Someone else uninstalled their apps for a couple of weeks just to see what happened. The world didn't end. Surprisingly, members were really understanding. They came back feeling lighter and more present than they had in months. So, check this out. What I think is actually happening is that constant posting can mask the thing you're not dealing with. When you create space, you find out whether the community was genuinely working or whether your activity was just filling the silence. Post every day if that's your thing. Just don't assume your members need you to. If you're running a Skool community and trying to figure out what's actually driving growth versus what's just keeping you busy, that's what we work on inside the Skool Monetisation Lab. https://www.skool.com/skool-growth-lab-2540/about Des Dreckett - Skool Monetisation Lab

Why AI Storytellers? It's ALWAYS about Story. Today is Saturday and I'm writing and I love writing. Sure I'm using AI to help me with my writing but it's my world and worlds that I build, I come up with the connections, I create the characters and build out everything. So when someone says why are you talking about books and you should focus only on film. It's because of story. Story moves us to read, to smile, to imagine, to cry, to be transformed. We do love the images and the motion of the film, but it's the stories that come alive and that's why we are AI Storytellers! Every tool, every course, every guide, every speaker, and every one of you are here because of story and the free doughnuts. So stand up and take a bow. YOU ARE AI STORYTELLERS!!!
