@Sam Ovens was kind enough to let me test the new audio-chat thingy. So Yesterday, I made a post in my free group letting people know we'd be going live at 10:30AM today. I also emailed my members at like 10:23AM today or something and told them about it. (Classic.) It. Was. Awesome. We had around 30 people on. Nobody got confused about how to use it. I was able to see who was talking. You have the ability to mute people if you need to. (There was no need). Our members loved it. THANK YOU to the team at Skool who made this. Zero complexity. Pure simplicity. And we didn't break it. Oh! And it works from the mobile app too!

Last week, we recorded our FIRST EVER LIVE PODCAST at a private mastermind in Belfast with 50+ Skoolers who travelled from all over the world to be there. During the recording, @Calvin Hollywood & @Ted Carr dropped so many insane gems that we felt it would be EXTREMELY unfair not to share it with everyone who wasn’t in the room. So… we’re dropping the full 90 minutes in all of its glory to help take your community to the next level. A word of warning though: you might not be ready for the MADNESS that's inside👇🏼

Welcome @Sarah Hankins to Level 9.

I'm in this cool group called "free" and one of the members was asking how to sustain the work of having a 9-5 job AND trying to run a business at the same time. I'm going to give a better version of my original answer below: If I was in [member name]'s situation, I would be so motivated by FEAR that I would find a way to hit my targets. Fear has always been my primary motivator. Fear of not being a good provider ... Fear of being stuck in a life where I have to do stuff I hate just so I can pay bills ... Probably not the healthiest thing but its a hell of a motivator. Before I started selling things online, I was a door to door salesman. Fear of rejection was what led me to do a search for "How to sell things on the Internet" in October of 1999. If I hadn't made that one search, we wouldn't be having this conversation. FEAR is still my primary motivator. I'm not driven by money or things. I drive a truck, wear t-shirts, shorts, and allbirds, and work from an Ikea desk in an empty room. I'm driven by freedom ... Which means I'm driven by FEAR of not having options ... Fear of not having autonomy ... My daughter broke her wrist last weekend. We were able to get her treated on a Sunday night on very short notice because I pay an ungodly amount for health insurance. I literally asked to buy the most comprehensive health insurance that exists ...regardless of price. Why? FEAR. I am grateful for my fears. They are my allies. Fear doesn't mean you're weak. Being weak means you're weak. Not acknowledging your fears and doing something about them ...that can make you week. Fear is normal. Turn it into fuel. And combine it with faith. Lock and load. It's Friday. Get some. Frank P.S. Special thanks to all the Homies who took the Sacred Vow. (IYKYK) P.P.S. The lady in this gif looks like she took her adderall in the morning, then got distracted ...forgot she took it ...and took it again.

Do you know what I consider the ultimate level in community building? It's when online connections turn into real-life interactions. ✅ Who knows at least one of the three people in person? Make sure to join as many offline and live events as possible. The impact will be completely different! lg Calvin 🫡
