Since our Booking.com/CJ accommodation connection is now in review, I’m collecting your favorite stay recommendations so we’re ready to match them as soon as approval comes through. Please send me any accommodations you genuinely recommend: - Hotels - Resorts - Cabins - Retreat stays - Vacation rentals - Unique stays - RV parks - Send the name, location, website/link, and one quick sentence about why you recommend it to [email protected]. The more real recommendations we have ready, the stronger 6DegreesApp becomes for launch.

The newest build is moving us closer to the real public launch version. The app is now testing: - Trusted nearby + regional connections - Destination search for connected recommendations - Member profiles, business profiles, photos, and recs - Basic messaging between members - Booking.com matching for accommodation recommendations. - - Founding Members: if you haven’t logged in and filled out your profile yet, please jump in and plug in your info so your profile can be part of what we’re building for launch. We’re getting closer. Keep going with me!

We are officially welcoming The Linguists Society as the Official Language Partner of 6DegreesApp. This partnership makes so much sense for what we’re building: a trusted global network where people can discover places, businesses, experiences, and connections through real relationships. As 6DegreesApp grows worldwide, language becomes part of the connection. The Linguists Society helps people learn and practice languages through real conversation, which fits beautifully with the heart of this app: people helping people feel more connected wherever they go. And for our Founding Members, Carlo is offering a special early perk: - 12 weeks free to learn Italian, Spanish, or French for the first 20 6DegreesApp members - 10% off annual subscriptions for anyone who joins through the 6DegreesApp partnership This is exactly the kind of aligned partnership I want to build into 6DegreesApp: useful, human, global, and rooted in connection. Welcome, The Linguists Society! @Carlo Tassone If you could feel confident speaking one new language, what would it be?

Please give a warm welcome to my friend @Frances Mendoza from HIGH SCHOOL, who hopped in as a new member and quickly became a 6DegreesApp founding member! Frances is fellow San Antonian, a mom and Luxury Scent Consultant who is Passionate about health & wellness, Body, Mind, & Soul. 🧘‍♀️ I am so excited to have you as a founding member and for you to be a part of this journey! I know you are going to be such a valuable asset to the building of this app! What's a place that you love recommending to others? Something that you will definitely put in your app profile?

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.
