I know some of you have been wondering when the Morning Show will be back, so I wanted to give you guys an update! What originally started as taking a week off has turned into a longer break. After some conversations about the future of the show, it looks like we won't be continuing for the foreseeable future. There's always a possibility it could return in some form someday, but we don't have a date or know what that would look like right now. As things were being figured out, I gave a lot of thought to possibly continuing a morning show on my own. But something I didn't expect during this time away was realizing just how much I actually needed that time back. Then last week, I received some really heartbreaking news about a friend whose fiancé is like a brother to me. Between that and having this time away, I've been reminded just how short life really is and how unexpectedly everything can change. I think sometimes we get so caught up in everything we have going on that we forget how quickly time passes. There will always be more work to do, more things that need our attention, and more goals we want to accomplish. But we don't get that time back with the people we love, and I don't want to look back wishing I'd been more present for the moments that mattered. As much as I absolutely loved spending my mornings with you guys, I've realized that right now I want to give more of that time and energy to being present with my family and friends. So I've decided not to continue a morning show on my own at this point. I'm genuinely going to miss our mornings together. We've been doing this since March, and the laughs, conversations, and familiar faces have made it such a special part of my day. I know so many of you made it part of your routines too, and I can't tell you how much that has meant to me. I'll still be here on Skool and continuing with both of my communities! Right now, I'm figuring out what I want the routine to look like for this community moving forward, but the goal will still be the same: helping you guys learn more about Skool, understand how things work, and get more out of the platform.

I've been talking to quite a few Skool owners lately and keep hearing things like "I wish I didn't have to create content" or "I wish I could just..." and it got me curious about what everyone else wishes they had when it comes to running their own Skool or helping other Skool owners. If you could fix one area of your community or business, have one thing happen automatically, or have Skool create one feature that would make your life easier, what would it be? It can be something big or small. I'm curious what would make the biggest difference for you!

Hey everyone! You may have noticed we didn't have a morning show yesterday. We've been going strong every week since March, but I've decided we're going to take this week off. Just wanted to let you all know so you're not wondering where we are in the mornings! Thanks to everyone who's continued to show up and spend their mornings with us. We appreciate you!

Just because someone posts something confidently doesn’t mean it’s true. I’ve seen a few things floating around lately about Skool that people are taking as fact, getting upset about, and then repeating to other people without actually knowing if the information is accurate. And that’s how fake news spreads. Before you change something in your community, get mad about how something works, or start teaching it to someone else, make sure you actually have the right information. I was just sent the craziest rumor yet about Google taking a percentage of payments that is just completely fake news. It made me go “what the helly?” so much that I decided tomorrow on The Skool Morning Show we’re clearing up fake news. Eric won't be here tomorrow, so just me answering and clearing anything up. So what have you heard? Drop it below or ask live on the show. Growth Boost? Affiliates? Payments? Attribution? Something else about how Skool works? Ask me anything you’ve heard that you’re not sure is actually true. If I know the answer, I’ll give it to you. If I don’t, I’ll tell you I don’t know. BUT I will find out the answer! ...if you try to tell me a rumor about the secret project, I will rick roll you. LOL this is not for trying to be sneaky! Let’s see how much fake news we can clear up tomorrow! (Cuz I'm over the BS and we need to be able to focus on truth and traffic.)

I really loved this video because I think this is something a lot of us need to hear, especially when you spend so much of your time building a business and community you genuinely enjoy being part of. Stepping away can be hard. Sometimes it isn’t even because you feel like everything will fall apart without you. You just actually like what you do and the people you get to spend your days with. But I loved what he said about the difference between what you want and what you need. Sometimes getting away from your normal routine gives you the chance to realize how much you actually love the life you’ve created. You notice what you miss, what you’re thankful for, and maybe even some things you want to do differently when you get back. I think we all need moments that remind us how much we have to be grateful for currently, even when we aren’t exactly where we want to be yet. There was also something really interesting happening with his communities while he was gone. Normally they get around 3 to 5 new trial members a day while actively promoting, but while he was on the Camino and doing significantly less, there were days they got around 15 new members. That doesn’t mean stepping away magically grows your community or that will happen for everyone... But it is a pretty cool reminder that sometimes the work you’ve already done keeps working even when you aren’t sitting there actively pushing it forward every day. If you’re an entrepreneur who has a hard time taking a break from your business, I think this is worth watching. Maybe it's not a full 10 days. Maybe it starts with 1 day a week being just for you. We missed you on Skool, @Calvin Hollywood! Thank you for sharing this real video and reminding everyone that it's okay and they have permission to step away for a bit. Keeping your flame through all that walking is some commitment 😅
