The new ChatGPT model came out, and apparently ChatGPT Astra can actually control your computer and take actions for you. Including opening Skool and sending DMs. My Skool Morning Show cohost @Eric Howell tested GPT Astra 6 and told me to check my Skool DMs. I opened them to a message from HIS account that said: “Hello, this is ChatGPT.” And I am not sure how I feel about this. AI agents being able to use your computer opens up some really interesting possibilities. Eric already has ideas for how he could use the new ChatGPT Astra model to automate certain tasks, and I can absolutely see where that could be useful. But having AI actually communicating with people through your Skool account feels different to me. If I get a Skool DM from someone, am I talking to that person? Or could I be talking to their AI agent controlling their computer? That is the part that freaks me out a little. I recorded my reaction right after it happened because I genuinely want to know what other people think about this. Would you use ChatGPT Astra to send messages or take actions inside Skool? And where do you think the line should be between AI helping you and AI acting as you? ...Do you think Sam will find a way to block this?

I’m nosey today 👀 and this is your chance to brag a little. 💯 What post in your community got the most engagement, comments, or started real conversations? Drop it below so we can all see what worked and maybe spark some ideas for our own groups. You never know what idea might inspire the next great post for someone else.

Doing the screen time challenge with Matthew’s community made me realize how much time I was spending without noticing. That awareness carried over into other areas of life. Then I watched a Hormozi video where he explained how outsourcing simple things like meals, laundry, and house cleaning can give you back entire weeks each year. I already have someone who comes to clean the house, has also been helping organize & downsize for mental clarity (I feel like your environment is a big deal) and I’ve been working with someone on a meal prep system for us. It got me thinking… what else could use an audit? I started with subscriptions. In one quick pass I canceled 6 of them that seemed "little" but they added up and were costing me $85.67 a month. Stuff I wasn't using or they weren't working like they should. That’s over $1,000 a year saved. Part of that savings is because I also went to cancel Audible, and of course they suckered me into staying with 50% off credits for three months. They always get me with that one. (Go see if they offer you a discount, if you want to keep them and get it for less.) Next, I’ve been looking at my wardrobe. The idea is to make it no-thinking, grab-and-go.. similar to Hormozi’s approach, but with enough variety so my kid doesn’t see me as “Mom always wears the same thing, boring.” These small audits add up. And the same applies to our communities... We can step back and ask: What are people really using? What do they find helpful? What feels like clutter? What do they want more of and what less of? It’s amazing what you uncover when you pause to run an audit. 👇 When was the last time you did one in your life or your community? What did you cut, adjust, or keep?

Just posted the replay and this might be the most practical Skool growth system you will see… that anyone can do. Yes, even brand new beginners. @Matthew Thompson shared how he built a very engaged community using a 7 day free trial, a simple affiliate model, and no social media or content creation. He is currently ranked number two in the Skool Games for his category and earned the Star badge as one of the top one percent of creators on the platform. This strategy is perfect if you • Do not have a big audience • Do not want to be online all day • Want something simple that still scales You will see how Matthew • Created a 7 day challenge that actually converts • Turned new members into referrers without asking • Designed an onboarding flow that keeps people active and engaged • Built a trust loop that grows the community on its own If you are curious what it actually feels like to be inside this kind of Skool experience, now is the perfect time to jump in and see it from the inside. If you know the Alex Hormozi pitch, it’s the same energy here. You can make an educated decision from the inside. No pressure, just results. Plus, you get to be a part of the mission Matthew talked about in the video and also see if this is a money model you want to give a shot. Just by doing the 7 day free trial. 👉 Click here to join the free 7-day challenge 👈 🎁 Matthew has also agreed to host a private call for us on the topic of eliminating distraction while working. This is only for people who join using this link in the next 24 hours. He usually only shares this inside his $10k/year mastermind. 🎁🎁 For anyone that joins with this link in the next 24 hours and does all 7 day check in posts inside the community, I will be doing my own Matthew Thompson style spin the wheel giveaway for $100! Plus, everyone that does the full 7 days will also get a code for the Alex Hormozi $100M Money Model book (shipping excluded), because I believe Matthew’s money model is something everyone here could implement. (Whether or not you stay in the community.)

In 14 days I cut 4.5 hours a day of screen time. 😳 That equals 68 days a year of freedom back. 🎉 I did the math to see how much this meant I gained back vs losing by taking those hours x my hourly rate... let me ask you this: How much is your time worth an hour? How much are you losing daily? For me, it was a LOT! What stood out to me was not just my personal results, but how this challenge activated people. A healthy 7 day free trial gets members moving right away, and the way Matthew set up the longer challenge kept them posting, checking in, and staying consistent. It showed me how the right structure can carry people far beyond the free trial. After the trial is over, the weekly giveaways kick in. Every check in counts as an entry, which means daily engagement is built into the design. It is simple, but it works, and it is something I plan to adapt for my own upcoming community. In about 12 hours we are going to have a live call to go over it with Matthew and hear his mission with his community. 🔴 Creating A 7 Day Free Trial | Monday, September 15 at 11am CST (Zoom link has been added!) @Matthew Thompson will share how he set this up, why the 7 day free trial works, and how you can use the same structure to boost activation and retention inside your own Skool community. You will see how to turn a 7 day free trial into 90 day and beyond success by transforming lives before anyone pays and fueling long term community growth. 🚀 This is the type of strategy you can study and model for your own community, while also benefiting from it as you participate. Who is coming to the call?
