We absolutely have to shout out Mr @Houston Bernard! This man has been on a tear. 🔥 - won not one but TWO big awards in the country music space in the last month (try watching this without getting emotional) - posts every video he makes, welcoming brutally honest feedback, then actually uses that feedback - has stayed consistent in his posting despite a hectic schedule - increased his view count by 21% and watch time by 38% since joining Grindstone - won the last TWO Grindstone Games (will anyone dethrone this man??) BIG congrats man. Super glad you're part of this community. 😊 ••• PS—every month we're going to have a new theme, question, challenge, or prompt. This month is a two-part question: 1. What are you doing that you know doesn't work? 2. What are you NOT doing that you know works?

Hello hello all you Grindstone Creators! As some of you may have seen, at the end of each month the top person from the 30-day leaderboard wins a prize! 🎁 If you need a quick crash course on earning points: • Create quality posts that spark conversation. • Drop helpful replies that get people talking. • Get likes and comments on your content to rack up those points. To put it in Colby's famous one liner: the more you contribute, the higher you climb. Now, without further ado, our October Winner is...... 🥁 @Houston Bernard! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 This is his 2nd month in a row topping the charts. Congratulations! I'll be reaching out sometime this week so you can give the prize wheel a spin. I know you have been killing it with the content. Keep up the good work! That's all for this month on the Grindstone Games! Will we see Houston for a 3rd month in a row or will you usurp the crown in November 🦃?
