When I first opened Founding Memberships, the plan was to keep them open until we hit 1,000 members. But the app is moving faster than expected. We now have: - A proven concept - beta app testing happening - real Founding Member profiles inside the app - trusted recommendations being added - business profiles being built - Booking.com affiliate approval underway - a public launch goal of August 29 So, I’m making a shift: Founding Memberships will now close at public launch. That means this is the final window to become one of the original Founding Members before 6DegreesApp opens publicly. Founding Members lock in: - 40% commission rate on qualifying recommendation commissions - business profile included permanently, which will be a paid monthly feature after launch - Founding Member recognition inside the app - early access to the beta/build process - voice in shaping the app - referral commissions while the Founding Member window is open - referral bonuses once app is launched if anyone downloads app from your personal referral link If you’ve been watching this come together and thinking, “I want to be part of this,” now is the time. Watch the VSL: HERE (after you enter your email) Become a Founding Member: HERE We are building this in real time, and it is getting exciting!

We’re adding something new as 6DegreesApp moves toward public launch: 🔥 Founding Members will not only earn 40% on Founding Membership referrals until the 1,000 spots are filled, THEY'LL ALSO NOW KEEP A CONTINUED REFERRAL ADVANTAGE AFTER LAUNCH‼️ That means when someone joins the app through their personal invite and later upgrades to a qualifying paid subscription, business profile, or paid feature, Founding Members will be eligible for a referral bonus tied to that upgrade. So the benefit doesn’t disappear when Founding Membership closes. It evolves. 👀 Founding Members are also locking in: ✨ Permanent 40% recommendation commission rate ✨ Business profile included permanently [this will be a monthly subscription for standard members] ✨ 40% commissions on Founding Membership sales through your referral link until the 1,000 spots are filled ✨ Early beta access + ability to help shape the app ✨ Founding Member status attached to your profile ✨ Access to this founding community while we build, test, brainstorm, and grow together And BIG DREAM moment: I would love for this to eventually include Founding Member experiences, meetups, and even an annual Founding Member trip. 🥹🌍 We’re at 24 Founding Members now, and the cap is 1,000. If you’re already a Founding Member, drop a “HEY!” below. If you’re on your way, drop “ON MY WAY!” 👇

We’re officially moving from “beta preview” into building toward a real public launch. The next goals are: ✅ Make account creation/login/profile setup smooth ✅ Make sure every user sees and edits their own profile correctly ✅ Strengthen recommendations: add, edit, save, retire, and search ✅ Keep improving messaging, blocking, privacy, and safety tools ✅ Build the standard user flow so the app works for more than just Founding Members ✅ Continue shaping the Founding Member upgrade path while spots are still open ✅ Start laying the foundation for affiliate links, payouts, subscriptions, and business profiles Also, quick shout out to @Kamal Ali for sharing a really smart support idea: as we grow, we’ll need a simple help flow inside the app, starting with FAQs, support email, and guided issue categories before ever jumping into expensive live support. That kind of feedback helps us think ahead and build this the right way. The goal is a stronger beta over the next couple of weeks, then moving toward a public launch-ready version after that. Founding Members: your feedback is still incredibly valuable. You’re helping shape what this becomes before the world sees it. 💛 We’re not just talking about the app anymore. We’re building it. 🧱

First, thank you for all the recommendations! We already have one on our list—we’ll be trying Monell’s thanks to @Ashley Welch! I’m excited to see what all the hype is about. 💙 Founding Members: The updated beta links are now available in the Founding Members module! You can also now upload and save your own recommendations inside the app. 🎉 If you have a favorite place, business, restaurant, activity, or hidden gem, go add it! One thing I’ve learned on this road trip… kids don’t just need bathroom breaks—they need wiggle breaks. 😂 Every time we stopped, I let them run. Sprint to a tree, race each other, do jumping jacks—whatever it takes to burn off some energy before getting back in the car. I’ll share a video because they crack me up. (Yes… I even made them race to my aunt and uncle’s house when we got here. 🤣) Then my oldest said something that really stuck with me: “Mom, this is the most fun I’ve had with you in a while.” ❤️ That one hit me right in the heart. It reminded me that while I’m building something I’m incredibly passionate about, these little moments matter just as much. So I’m making a conscious effort to unplug a bit this week and be fully present with my boys. Don’t worry—I won’t disappear! I’ll still be checking in, and @Zandria Pearson will be helping keep things rolling by posting on my behalf too. 😊 So please keep asking questions, sharing recommendations, and engaging with each other. I absolutely love seeing everyone help one another. Now I need your travel wisdom… 🚗 What are your favorite ways to break up a long road trip? Whether it’s something you do for your kids to help them get their wiggles out, fun games you play, favorite road trip snacks, or even something you do as an adult to make the drive more enjoyable—I want to hear it! Let’s build a thread full of great ideas for everyone.
