Here is the replay of today's Success Chat with one of our Founding Members @Mike Bennion-Rowe, who Founded and works full-time in his video production company "Torn Box" It was great to have fellow members available to listen in, @Aidan McClain & @Danielle Morris and myself, and we each got something valuable out of it. Mike led this chat from the UK, so there were a few technical snafu's from the platform, but we appreciate this great chat. Thanks Mike for some great information and a nice chat If you missed last week's chat about SEO be sure to check the "Discussion Forums" Tab above for a great lesson on CEO from @Aidan McClain Next week I am excited to have @Andrew Edwards (Ace) leading the Success Chat, and he will be talking about how to optimize and best use of LinkedIn as a business tool.

Good Morning Syndicate Fam! I was pretty much knocked out all day yesterday with eye surgery and was so bummed to have to miss Aidan's LIVE seminar on SEO. Looks like we all had a busy day, but HUGE THANKS to @Aidan McClain for powering on with his presentation for us in an empty room. I had a chance to watch it this morning and Kudo's my friend!! Do yourself a favor and watch this great program Aidan put toether.

Thanks for a lively discussion in our Thursday LIVE group chat today. We had @Danielle Morris @Aidan McClain and @Stephan Galdau able to attend and we talked about decision making. Some great discussion on how decisions affect both short term and long term thinking and business options. Why some decisions are well met and some not so much. Enjoy the replay, there is the outline and worksheet attached if you want to look over the topic on your own and how you can apply it to your own decision making. Aiden will be leading next Thursday's chat on SEO, so tune in if you can. Have a great day!

Business lesson of the week: Your breakout star might not be what you planned. Apparently, one of the biggest buzz moments around the new film Project Hail Mary (2026) is Ryan Gosling’s cardigan sweater, not just the movie itself. https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/film/project-hail-mary-sweater-ryan-gosling-pattern-knitting-2aeb062a?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqeX7fH4ax2IaureYr0YwmATm4UthvurV0Zq0wm6jsg1woWOEuooBi3LMaTSWzY%3D&gaa_ts=69d0f0a1&gaa_sig=0lzzhbqNbZoadTf5jkUld8ZCq8fpPt8vbbhpoNV_zYLsKWNZdbxjl74-NFLsD4Gmyq2Yd2cxzjiYCJ-QjDg8Zw%3D%3D Movie fans fell in love with it. It wasn’t some mass-produced brand deal. It was a rare find by the costume coordinator in a UK clothing fair, and when fans (including out Olympic diver Tom Daley, who created his own pattern) tracked down a $90 pattern to make it, that sold out overnight. That is such a business lesson. Sometimes your audience tells you what the real “product” is. Not the polished pitch. Not the expensive campaign. The unexpected thing they connect with emotionally. Pay attention to what people are obsessing over. That’s where the demand is. That’s where the conversation is. And sometimes, that’s where the money is. Question for the Syndicate: What’s the “cardigan sweater” in your business right now... the unexpected thing people keep responding to?
