LBC # 101 Goodbye Slack, 250+ New Members, and Events for 2025

Happy Friday, Community Pros!

I’m back with an issue packed with community goodness for you all 🙂

In case you missed our event with Anamaria Dorgo, the replay is here.

We got a unique discount code for the new course from Richard Millington, which you can see below. It is primarily focused on consultants, agencies, and freelancers.

We are in the final days of moving away from Slack, and the response to get into the new home has been overwhelming. While we still have many things to iron out, the overall feedback has been positive. Phew! Join us here!

Stay tuned for what’s next—our events have something for everyone!
