Celebrating 1 week! 🥳

After watching a few of Brian's YouTube videos just a week ago, I finally took action and created my first Skool. It's a free community (in Swedish) helping people implement AI & Vibe Coding in their lives and small businesses.

I'm thrilled to say I already have 25 active members who seem genuinely happy with the contributions in the Classroom and community. It feels amazing to see it come to life so fast!

I have a strategic question for the group (and Brian) regarding the "Playbook": My initial plan was to keep it free until I reach a critical mass (maybe 100-150 members) and then switch the entire community to a paid monthly subscription model.

However, I'm now also considering the hybrid model: Keeping the community open and free to maximize growth, but having specific "Masterclass" sections in the Classroom locked behind a paywall.

For those of you with experience: Which model do you prefer? Is it better to gate the entire community eventually, or keep the flow of new members coming in and only monetize specific high-value courses inside?
