I wasn't planning on making another post about this today, but after today's live demo, I'd actually feel bad if I didn't remind you about today's deadline. (I included some screenshots of their wins page, because people are WINNING with this!) I know I've talked about Skoot recently and even had Garrett come hang out with us. But today they did a live demo on Tier 2 that I had time to attend, and it made one thing very clear... I don't think most of us have even scratched the surface of what's possible with it. What made this demo different was they didn't just show features. They kept asking: "How would you use this?" Then owners started throwing out real situations from their businesses. Someone wanted to automatically identify members who were most likely to upgrade and have personalized messages ready to send. Someone wanted AI to know their voice well enough that it could handle the beginning of conversations while they were away from their desk. Someone wanted reminders before member calls with context from previous conversations instead of trying to remember who someone was. Someone wanted to know which classroom lessons actually led to upgrades so they could reorganize their entire onboarding. I wanted to know if the Skoot MCP could be checking every morning for those who needed a follow up instead of trying to remember everyone myself. Because I know I want to remember it all, but sometimes that's not possible. Another one we all kind of pieced together was after a sales call, having the sales rep do the follow up based on what we talked about in the call. Garrett said with the Skoot AI Notetaker coming out that he could work on that. I also found it very cool that 12 Skool Games winners from this quarter used Skoot and they had 4 of the top in the categories using it. (3 of the 4 them using Tier 2 already). So now that's 57 Skool Games winners, and that still matters because even if Games are going away as we know it... that's some serious wins and will be useful when the new secret games replacement comes out! 🏆

The Online Community Show Episode 2 Is Out Now! 🎙️ In this episode, we sit down with @Matthew Burns, community builder and creator of ProveWorth, to talk about one of the biggest challenges on the internet today. Trust. As AI generated content, fake testimonials, and endless marketing claims flood the internet, it is getting harder for people to know what is actually real. That is where honest reviews and real communities start to matter more than ever. In this conversation, Matt shares his journey building communities, working with monday.com, discovering Skool early, and why he believes independent reviews will become one of the most important trust signals for communities going forward. Here are a few of the things we get into: • Why trust is becoming one of the biggest problems on the internet • Why testimonials alone are not enough anymore • How third party reviews can help communities build credibility • Why many community builders are sitting on powerful proof they are not using • The role honest feedback plays in retention, engagement, and growth • How systems help community builders scale what is working • Why launching before things are perfect often leads to better results One of the most interesting ideas from this episode is that communities are not just places to learn anymore. They are places where trust is built. People join communities because they want real connection, real feedback, and real results. But for someone on the outside looking in, it can still be difficult to know which communities are actually delivering value. That is where reviews and proof begin to play a much bigger role. Matt also shares how ProveWorth was created to help solve this problem by giving communities a place where their reputation can live outside their own platform. In other words, a place where people can see real experiences from real members before they decide to join.

I can't help it... I'll make a more in-depth post on this later... BUT I am so excited! 🥳 Christmas in February!
