Good Morrow my fellow classmates. My name is Jeff Padgett although most people just call me Padgett. You can call me whatever just don't call me late for supper. I've practiced law for the last 25 years mainly criminal defense but I have done things in the music world and at one time was an NFL agent. But now I want to get into book publishing and teaching in addition to some crafty POD. I anticipate starting a community in the future. It'll be a mash-up of law and how law affects EVERY industry and aspect of our lives. Until then, I'm just going to hang out and soak up some new skills knowledge. Good to meet Y'all. Have a blessed one.

Skool can feel really noisy at first, especially if you are in multiple communities and your new. Let me reassure you, you will quickly get used to the flow, but for sure it helps to turn the volume down a bit! The good news is you can control notifications in two main ways: 1. Change notifications per community (group by group) 2. Turn off “like” notifications (the biggest overwhelm trigger for most people) 3. Unfollowing people (stop receiving notifications each time someone posts) 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 (𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽) On desktop (laptop or computer) 1.
