at the IRL event yesterday, we met up to talk about technology/community/business. and when I did my presentation on how to combine these all together through Skool, I had taken a little peep at the profiles of everyone who came to the event. And, even if you didn't come to the event but RSVP'd, I'll include you in this little gift too. This was part of the presentation, so remember it's just an experiment for fun and nothing to take too seriously. We talked about "spotlighting" members and this is just a possible way to integrate that with SUPERPOWERS🌟☄️🌠 Hope you enjoy you're little superpower card 🦸‍♂️😎 ⎯⎯ ୨ 🌼 ୧ ⎯⎯ @Jake Howard Superpower: Turning confusing platforms into clear, actionable roadmaps Conversation opener: “What’s the biggest mistake people make starting on Upwork?” Who he should meet @Jonathan Twombly | systems + investor mindset could unlock higher-leverage clients @Talgat Mussin | data discipline applied to freelance acquisition @Dessi Schachne Superpower: Building deep trust and resonance with an audience around relationships Conversation opener: “What do people thank you for most, even when you don’t prompt them?” Who she should meet @Bruno Militz | leadership + identity work overlap @Chanie Twersky emotional readiness across life stages @Simon Hegener Superpower: Seeing leverage early, especially how AI and systems can compound effort, even while still choosing the right vehicle Conversation opener: “What’s the most interesting way you’ve used AI recently, even if it didn’t turn into a business yet?” Who he should meet @Talgat Mussin | ad oversight + scaling discipline @Jake Howard | acquisition parallels across platforms @Chanie Twersky
