I just watched the latest Skool News #43 (yes, a day late, oops) and first up, let me say this loud because context matters, I FRICKEN LOVE SKOOL. Met epic humans, built real connections, friendships, collabs, clients, all of it. Big WOOP for Skool always n 4eva…
But something they said made my brain go hmmmm (it does that alot)
They were talking about people being “discovered through Skool” (I think as in Skool Discovery) and I instantly checked in with myself and thought… have I ever actually done that? And my answer is no I have not
I’ve never gone into Discovery, searched for something I wanted to learn or grow with, and joined a community cold.
When I HAVE clicked around Discovery, it’s been with my business brain on, being nosy, looking at structure and vibes, about pages, etc., etc. (let's be honest, we all do it), but not because I was looking for somewhere to land.
Every single community I’ve ever joined came from something happening OUTSIDE first. A post. A comment. Seeing someone a few times. A recommendation. A HUMAN moment before the join.
So when Skool says people are discovered through Skool, my gut wonders… is it actually Discovery. Or is it that they saw you somewhere else, then came to Skool to check you out, and that’s where the join happened?
Those feel like very different things to me
Which is why I think what happens OUTSIDE the community matters so much.
The conversations. The connection. The vibe. The energy. The stuff that makes someone want to step inside before they ever read an About page,
So I wanna ask with a tilting head, full of I wanna, need to know this 🤘
Have you ever actually joined a Skool community straight from Discovery? No prior connection. No seeing them elsewhere. Just searched, clicked, joined.
And if you have, what made you say yes.
I’m so so curious because my lived experience says connection comes first, platform comes second. But I’m open to being wrong.
Talk to me, Mimi x x x
WOOP.
