I was inspired by

We hit trending on all of YouTube again! Let’s go! 🙏🏼

Circle started the year as a 40 person team and we're ending it as a 100 person team spread across 30+ countries, serving thousands of thriving communities and millions of members. Thinking about what the Internet enables never ceases to blow my mind.

Today is a good day!

For podcast audience growth, one guest podcasting spot is worth more than 1000 social posts.

Pokemon Violet gameplay is basically pressing the A button repeatedly through superfluous dialogue until I can move around again. It's kind of a drag. Is it always like this?

Thanks to your courses and advice, my Turn Autism Around podcast just surpassed 1 million audio podcast downloads (plus millions of video views of my shows on my site and on Youtube). I've done weekly shows starting January 2019! Thanks again and Happy Holidays!!

10%!? That’s insane. Especially for the larger creators selling on the platform. To compare,

@ConvertKit

has commerce, but also email and segmentation, etc for 3.5% all in. And you can sell a newsletter like Substack too.

PSA: @Gumroad will increase their fees to 10% on January 31, 2023. The math: If you make $100K, Gumroad makes $10K. They're using the Substack model.

Then, in the upper right hand corner, you can click this icon so that you can still get the window to move slides and see notes and stuff. The PLAY window just shows the slides, and I can see the rest of my computer, live chat, etc. WOOHOO!

Just found out how to make a keynote presentation play in a WINDOW, and not full screen, so that I can share that window only when presenting, and OH MAN that realization was a game changer! Was this always here?!

If you’re not building a real community outside of a content or social media platform, you’re not future-proofing your business.

It's 1:11am now. Why did I have to get a huge burst of energy at 10pm this evening?! LOL I rode it though, and I got way ahead on some stuff I wasn't planning on getting to until later. I'm good with that though. Ready for bed. Nighty night.

From a consumer’s POV, the only algo/feed that serves me stuff that I want to see that’s also useful is YouTube. IG feed: “who are you and why?” Twitter: “Elon this and Elon that.” TikTok: “WOW that’s cool!” (3 hours later) “Where am I?” (That’s just me though how about you?)

When you build a community on your own platform and worry about the user experience, you shield yourself from algorithm changes, AI and competition, and ultimately worry less.

Random shout-out to all the creators who are PARENTS out there. It's a whole other level of difficulty! 🥲

SPI's All-Access Pass brings you community-powered courses

Build your skills through coursework with ongoing expert and community support.

Having and packaging the information alone isn't what is valuable anymore, it's the guidance, accountability and pathways through that material that reduces overwhelm and encourages action – that's what's necessary. Thanks to all the new founding members of our All-Access Pass!

A lot of time & money has been spent to figure this out & solve a really tough problem: how do we best educate our students when traditional DIY courses aren't cutting it for most students anymore. It's our responsibility to go this direction now: community-powered courses.

Most of the confusion is around those who have other offerings and how the All-Access Pass overlaps or compliments that. For many, however, this is seemingly EXACTLY the right kind of offer at the right time for the right things. We're so happy to hear that!

The response to our SPI All-Access Pass has been WILDLY positive. I also appreciate the people who have reached out because they are "confused", too, because that helps us better define the messaging. JUST AS IMPORTANT!

The next

art contest is going to be very interesting.
