Living photo carousels are getting serious traction right now. The concept is simple: mix short video clips with your still images instead of posting all photos. But here's what makes them work: the video needs to be lazy. Camera still. Just a little movement in the frame. Think a candle flickering, steam rising, leaves moving. Enough to feel alive, not enough to steal focus from what you're actually saying. Too much motion = your audience watches the clip and skips the copy. The sweet spot: one or two low-movement clips mixed with stills. Motion as a hook, not the main event. Worth testing on your next carousel. Are you already using video in your carousels, or is this new territory? ⚡

Happy Saturday! Today is a beautiful and sunny day in Alberta so I'm heading outside to a patio for snacks and a drink or two. Let's celebrate the almost beginning of summer and share your Skool community and 1 to 2 affiliate links for other Skools. For ease please make each a separate comment and include a sentence or two for what they are about. Cheers 🍻 🍹

I want to get something straight before I keep sharing resources in here. Where are you actually showing up online? List your platforms 1 to however many. Starting with the one you're most active on, ending with the one you check once a month and feel vaguely guilty about. 😄 I'm pulling this together so what I bring into this community lands where it's actually relevant for you. No point in me going deep on Instagram strategies if most of you are building on LinkedIn or vice versa. List yours below!

We are featured in Skool ad on Meta (Facebook)!!!!🎊. The other day I spotted @Melissa Boster Menopause Skool on an ad. I'll keep watching for more! What is your small brag/win for this Friday morning?

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💙
