Our Behind the Build series is underway, and this time we’re going LIVE! We’ve already had a fabulous recorded conversation with @Michael Wacht and @Jen Ps has shared her story through a written Q&A. Both are coming your way soon, and you're going to love their stories! ❤️❤️ Next up: @Lisa Vanderveen ! 📅 Wednesday, August 19 ⏰ 12:00 PM Central 🔗 Zoom link is in the Skoolology calendar And just so we're clear... This is NOT an interview. 😄 No polished presentation. No perfect answers. No “give us your 5-step formula for success.” Just builders talking building. We’re pulling up a chair with Lisa and talking about what’s REALLY happening as she builds her community. What's working? What's she learning? What's she rethinking? How is she figuring out what her members truly value? And how is she working toward turning that value into revenue? We have some things we want to explore, but we're also perfectly willing to wander down a rabbit hole or two. 😂 That's often where the good stuff lives. So come hang out with us. 👂 Listen. 💬 Jump into the conversation. ❓ Bring your questions. ☕ Bring your coffee. Obviously. Know another builder who would enjoy this conversation? Invite them to come along! They don't have to be a Skoolology member. ❤️ Can't make it live? No worries. We'll record it and share the replay. Different builders. Different stages. Different approaches. Real builds. Real lessons. And a chance to learn from each other while we're still figuring it out. That's Behind the Build. 🎙️❤️

Todd and I have been doing a LOT of thinking, talking, questioning, and designing around one big question: How can Skoolology help you become not just a better community builder, but a stronger business builder, too? And we’re ready to let you in on what we’ve been working on. We just added a short new series to the Classroom: The Skoolology Journey: What We’re Building Next Inside, we’ll give you a first look at: - The new competency-based learning experience we’re designing - Why your path will be personalized to what YOU need - The Professor, Guide, and Explorer pandas and what they have to do with your journey - Our bigger vision for helping Skoolologists become Multipliers - What begins rolling out in September But there’s another reason we want you to watch. We don’t want to finish designing this without you. Throughout the lessons, we’re asking questions and inviting your feedback because your goals, challenges, and ideas will help us decide what we build first. So head over to the Classroom, watch the short series, and jump into the conversations. 👉 START HERE: What We're Building Next We have some pretty big ideas. Now we want to hear yours.

🌟 @Oddysey Campbell Founder, Exploration & Empathy "I want to help people truly accept themselves with balanced confidence and patience. My hope is to create a wave of people who know how to shine their light without being burned by it." Meet Oddysey Sometimes a name tells you a lot about the person behind it. Oddysey isn't her legal name. It's the name she chose for herself around age 13, when she decided she wanted to take ownership of her identity rather than let the world tell her who she should be. That decision feels deeply connected to the work she's doing today. Oddysey is a mom, wife, entrepreneur, and the builder behind Exploration & Empathy, where she's creating space for people to better understand and accept themselves. Her work isn't about asking people to become someone different. It's about helping them develop the confidence and patience to become more comfortable with who they already are. Why We Chose Oddysey Oddysey brings something unmistakably her own to Skoolology. She's curious. She asks questions. She shares honestly. She encourages other builders. And she isn't afraid to explore a different path when something doesn't quite fit. We've also had the privilege of watching her grow more focused and confident about what she wants to create. And she's not finished. Some big ideas are beginning to take shape for what Oddysey may build next. We're not giving those away before she's ready, but we're excited to watch this next chapter unfold. That's part of why we chose to recognize her now. Headliners isn't only about celebrating where someone has arrived. Sometimes it's about recognizing a builder in the middle of becoming. Oddysey reminds us that progress can look like greater clarity, stronger self-trust, and finally having the courage to build something that feels like you. Builder Takeaway You don't have to become someone else to become a better leader. It's easy to look around at successful community builders and begin borrowing their voices, personalities, strategies, or definitions of success.

@Varsha Mistry Welcome to Skoolology! 😊 I LOVE that the thing that caught your attention was our belief that all communities shouldn’t be built the same way. That’s pretty much the heartbeat of Skoolology.❣️ I took a peek at The Indian Cooking Club. Almost 400 members! You’ve already built something people are interested in. Now you want to get them talking, sharing, and connecting more with you and with each other. That’s a fun challenge for us to dig into. 😊 Really glad that post led you here, Varsha. Welcome! 💙
