Quick behind-the-scenes for you all — because this is exactly what I teach. This morning I had an idea, a deadline, and nothing built. Today is America's 250th birthday, and I've wanted to launch my American Resilience Academy on this exact date for months. Problem: as of this morning, I had zero prepared. No community setup. No posts. No announcement. Nothing. Old me would have said "the timing isn't right, I'll do it properly next year." Builder me said: what's the minimum viable founding moment? Here's what got built and shipped in one afternoon: — Skool community set up with a "First 250 Founding Members" hook (250 founders for 250 years) — Founding Declaration post + first community challenge — Launch announcements for LinkedIn and Facebook — A full theme song written and generated with Suno — Reel captions for Instagram and YouTube Not perfect. Launched. That's the whole lesson. he Academy itself is a personal passion project — it's about faith, family, community, and being a good neighbor and steward of this country. Totally separate from what we do here. But if that speaks to you personally, you're welcome to come be one of the founding 250. Link in the comments. Either way, here's your takeaway: the perfect launch you're planning for someday loses to the real launch you ship today. Build it. Break it. Fix it. Launch it. 🇺🇸

That's right. Fable 5 is back but only for a few days until we have to start paying for usage. If you're going to go test it out, don't waste time on childish games… Do comparisons with other models and see if there's an actual difference that's worth paying for once the scale changes.

Check out the new uploads to the resources classroom.

I was checking the classroom today to assign points to members that have completed courses, and I was surprised to see NO ONE has checked out any of the resources in the classroom. I thought that was odd, because I know certain people that have asked me questions about some of the materials so I know they have been in there exploring and looking around. So why does it show me NOTHING on classroom activity? ✅I realized that it will only register classroom activity if the USER check the checkmark at the top of the class to indicate they finished that page. ✅So how many of you have gone through some of the class material and NOT checked off the finished check mark? 💡Please comment below if you have suggestions on how to ensure that members are checking the finished icon to receive their points.

Check out the video recap of today's wallet class session I did over in the I ❤️ AI Community. It was a technical difficulty kind of hour, but hopefully the members got some good ideas and information from the session. I will definitely be doing a future workshop with hands on card building, but it will be set up with a very structured workflow and objectives.
