@Stephanie Galla is a travel agent, which makes this extra exciting because travel agents immediately understand the heart of what we’re building. Travel has always been built on trust. People don’t just want random reviews anymore. They want to know: 🌍 Who has actually been there? 🏨 Who do I trust who recommends this place? ✈️ Who can help me find the hidden gems? 🤝 Who in my network knows someone there? That is exactly where 6DegreesApp comes in. We’re building a trusted recommendation network where places, stays, experiences, restaurants, local businesses, and travel connections can be discovered through real people and real relationships. Travel agents bring destination knowledge, personal experience, trusted recommendations, and global perspective into this app from day one, and I am so excited to have Stephanie helping shape this with us. Welcome to the Founding Member family, Stephanie! 💛 Everyone give her a warm welcome! 🎉

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little absent recently, grief snuck up on me and wiped me out for a bit. It was just my mom’s birthday, and next month marks one year since she left us. I’m also remodeling her beloved lake property, so I’ve been feeling all the feelings lately. I’m giving myself some grace and taking a short break from my other social platforms—but I’m still here, working and building 6DegreesApp behind the scenes. I will not give up on this vision, and we’re still planning to launch publicly on September 17. 💛 Please comment here with any questions or concerns about the app. Thank you for your patience and for continuing to believe in me and what we’re building together.

We had such a good conversation on Monday and things are getting REAL as we move toward public launch. Quick highlights: - Content creation is a big focus right now. If you have any videos or photos that show travel, connection, community, recommendations, lifestyle, business, or the heart behind 6DegreesApp, please send them my way. - Content scripts are inside the Founding Members module if you want inspiration for what to post or share. - September 17 is our first phase public launch goal, and that is also when the Founding Membership opportunity will close. - If you know someone who wants in before the Founding Member perks close, now is the time. Payment plans are available. - I’m still collecting Founding Member testimonials. - I’m also still collecting accommodation recommendations so we can keep building out the app with real trusted places from real people. Thank you for helping build this from the ground up. This community is such a special part of the 6DegreesApp story!
