After a Year on SKOOL 👨‍🏫 I Finally Took Action 🚨

I NEED your HELP & I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I finally posted a video to my YouTube about SKOOL. This might not seem like much to all of you massively successful entrepreneurs, but to me... this is a MASSIVE step of overcoming fear, and putting myself out there.

You see, 12 years ago I did something that might sound crazy - I turned my cell phone OFF for 4 years straight. Not just silent. Not just airplane mode. Completely OFF. It was an iPhone 4, and I SHUT OFF service after watching an organization I founded disintegrate overnight. I ran to the Mountains to hide from business, from people, from everything - because the pain was just too much to bear. This wasn't just any organization - we had over 2,500 people, $2.5 million in annual revenue, and then... nothing. Just like that. I felt blindsided and blamed myself, even though deep down I know there was nothing I could have done to prevent it from happening. I hid in adventure sports, and adrenaline rushes for the next decade.

For over 10 years - a whole decade - I carried this massive weight of guilt. I convinced myself I had let down every single one of those 2,500 partners. That weight was crushing me... until something unexpected happened. I started reaching back out to them, terrified of what they might say. But what I found shook me to my core: none of them blamed me. Not one. In fact, most of them told me those years of building something together helped them grow in ways they never expected. Even though it all ended overnight, they got to keep the growth, the lessons, the transformation.

That hit me like a ton of bricks. Same story, completely different perspective.

You know what's crazy? That same fear tried to stop me from posting this video about SKOOL. That same voice saying "what if you cast a vision again, and it doesn’t work out for everyone?" But this time, instead of running to the mountains, I'm running towards the community. Towards possibility. Towards you.

I would love your honest feedback on my first video about SKOOL. The good, the bad, the "what were you thinking with that background?" - all of it. I appreciate each one of you more than you know, and honestly, I wouldn't have found the courage to do this without this community having my back.

And hey... if you're sitting there right now, holding back from taking your own leap because of past wounds or future fears - I get it. I really do. But remember: it's never too late to start again, and sometimes all you need is to look at your story through a different lens. There is another video that is my channel trailer that shows where my mind was at just a few years ago.

What's your mountain? What's the fear you're ready to face? Let's do this together. 🌄
