Happy weekend! What are you up to? Working on your skool or are you taking some time off? Before I log off to spend some time celebrating my dad’s and my son’s birthdays, I wanted to share this video with you. It’s about the conversation between Sam and Alex at the last Skool Games winners event. This conversation was so valuable. I took four pages of notes, and in this video I share the top of mind takeaways from the discussion. There are some very interesting insights, especially now that Alex has his own Skool. Check it out and let me know what you think 🤗

I’ve been watching it all morning here in Bali, woke up at 5.45 am to the NEWS (I hope this is ok to share in here, my morning ponder, please remove if not) The excitement. The hype. The holy sht TIERS ARE HERE! Energy. WOOP 🤘 And I get it. I’m buzzing too. This update’s a big f*cking deal. It’s what so many of us have been waiting for: finally being able to create different levels, experiences, and offers all under one roof. But before you go tearing through Skool like it’s IKEA on payday, hear me out, because I’ve been that person. The one who jumped on every shiny new update like it was the missing piece. I’d get that rush of excitement, the dopamine hit, “This is it. THIS is the thing that’ll change everything.” Spoiler: it very rarely was. (Not saying never, btw — sometimes the shiny thing does help… just not the way we think it will.) Because tiers, tools, and tech don’t fix what clarity, traffic, and connection haven’t built. They just amplify whatever’s already there — the good, the messy, and the sh*t you’ve been ignoring. And I’m saying this with love, not to throw a wet blanket over this epic news. This is me talking to myself as much as to you. A little reminder to pause before you sprint. To plan before you pounce. Look — I believe in possibilities. This update is f*cking exciting 😀 But I’ve learnt the long way that walking with intention gets you further than leaping with chaos. One grounded step forward beats three burnt-out steps back, every time. So before you go renaming all your spaces and stacking levels like Jenga, let’s talk about what actually makes this work long-term. 👇 (MY POV b4 anyone gets their knickers in a twist) 🚦 𝟏. 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 (yup, everyone, I am sure you have seen Evelyn's epic Traffic Challenge in GWE) I know… not sexy. But if new people aren’t coming into your world, your tiers will sit there gathering dust. Traffic is oxygen. And no it doesn’t have to come from ads or fancy funnels. It comes from the unsexy stuff many people skip:
