PICTURE THIS...
You fly to LA/Vegas for one week.
Away from your wife.
Away from your kids.
With the sole purpose of recording podcasts with Skool Games Winners and Community Champions.
You have 6 podcasts scheduled.
You've paid for the studios.
And everyone being interviewed is super excited.
But on the way over you lose your voice.
LIKE COMPLETELEY.
You can't speak.
You can't whisper.
You can't do your job.
What do you do?

CHAPTER 1: THE POWER OF COMMUNITY
One of the things Skool has taught me is the power of crowdsourcing solutions via the community.
So, we grabbed a whiteboard at Skool HQ and brainstormed solutions with , and . "What if you cancelled and did them remotely?"
"What if you whispered into the microphone?"
"What if you held up your questions to people on a piece of paper?"
And then it hits us...
"What if you didn't do it alone?"

CHAPTER 2: BETTER TOGETHER
In hindsight, the solution was simple:
"Let's grab some of the amazing Skool Legends who just so happen to be in town for the Hormozi 1-Day to co-host interviews with you."
The result is some of the coolest podcasts we've ever recorded. One's that are way better than if I did them myself, including combinations like:
- with
- with
- with
- with
- with
- And an inspired last-minute* inspired episode with the full Captivate team all about retention with a special appearance from (this episode was 🔥)
*We booked a studio and showed up 20 mins later... Plus we ended up having to call an Uber mid-episode for Buon so he wouldn't miss his flight!

CHAPTER 3: THE OBSTACLE IS THE WAY
Combining these unbelievable people together has created something that is so much more interesting and beautiful than if it was just a "normal podcast."
AND it has lead to some super interesting partnerships, collaborations and post-podcast burrito eating.
Sometimes it just takes the community of people around us to help us see it.

Thanks so much to everyone for all the help and support over the last few days. Looking forward to sharing these gems with you!
