Tonight's Mastermind was a blast, and the replay is now up: https://www.skool.com/gold/classroom/a51c84c0?md=3ccb11d8c46147eea31043dbb1376d74 The real highlight? Todd Wynne-Parry crashing our party. Todd is one of the strongest voices in the glamping world — thoughtful, experienced, plugged into the industry in ways most of us only hope to be. Having him in our midst was a gift. And it continues: I’ll be duck hunting with him in the morning (pics incoming), then spending the afternoon with him at the Pikes Peak operation Aramark runs here in Colorado Springs. Aramark is a massive publicly traded company, and Todd has been open about his interest in acquiring operations like Monument Glamping. I’m grateful for the time with him and I’ll share what comes of our conversations. Before I signed off, I gave a small reminder about posting here in the community — and it’s worth repeating. Your content doesn’t need to be polished, perfect, or strategic. It can be whatever is happening right now. Anything that crosses your desk… post it. That’s the magic of this group. We’re looking over each other’s shoulders as we figure out how to turn our land into gold. The day-by-day trials, wins, questions, or weird little discoveries — those are the things that help all of us. So keep sharing. We’re better for it.

Hey everyone, quick reminder that we’re meeting tonight at 7pm MT, and we’ve got a full plate of updates to run through. On the agenda: • My SBA application drama. It’s a great story — equal parts absurd and entertaining — and there are some takeaways in it for all of us. • Todd Wynne Parry’s visit. His flight was delayed, so he may arrive during our meeting. Wouldn't that be fun? • Updates from everyone. Especially you, @Anja Wynne — we’re all eager to hear where things stand on your end. Looking forward to seeing you all tonight. This community keeps getting better, and I love hearing what each of you is building.

Looks like our group have GROWN. See you all on the call tonight.

December is just around the corner. It has a funny energy to it, doesn’t it? Part reflection, part planning, part “okay… what now?” As we all push toward the end of the year in Your Land Is Gold, I want to get a quick sense of what you’re focusing on during this last stretch. This isn’t a test — it’s just a pulse check so I know how to support you best as we head into 2026. Take a moment and choose the option that fits where your head is at right now:

So I was pretty jazzed about my first SBA loan meeting today. I submitted my paperwork and was moving to the next level: interview from a loan officer, a specialist in SBA lending. That's the next step before moving into application. The MS Teams meeting fires up. My SBA preparer, Bernardo pops up. And my loan officer fires up. Becky Fuller. Anyone recognize her? She's the lovely planning commissioner who steals the stage in several of the public hearings streamed into our Classroom Folder. My special use public hearing. The Colorado Pumpkin patch hearing. And our very own @Jason Schott ADU application. She voted all of our projects down...along with scrutinizing ridicule. She's a crazy person. Hates development. Despises glamping. I'll let you know how it went in tomorrow's meeting. (It wasn't pretty)
