My favorite community experience on Skool at the moment!
CLUES is a special place because of its unique charismatic leader. Ruben ensures an utmost level of integration and organization of all the parts that go into a fleshed out, thriving community. When you decide to go with the current no-brainer offer that gets you the Premium package at a heavily reduced price, Ruben personally audits your community within days! The feedback provided is very very helpful. There are so many things for you to improve upon that only an outsider can notice. Except not just any outsider, but one who knows how to engineer the near-perfect Skool community culture in their own community. Inside CLUES, this dedication to excellence is on the daily agenda.

Curiosity Leaves CLUES
I have enjoyed the challenges and how my own curiosity has been re-sparked. A great community of adventurers supporting each other.

Curiosity is what drives us all - especially inside CLUES
Ruben is amazing guy, always curious and friendly, making everyone feel great. I’ve joined to learn what works and what not for making my own community engage better, and I’ve learned many lessons just seeing what Ruben does and how he interacts with everyone.

Bad hair days don’t matter here it’s real growth
Carin is the real deal. Hair Stories Behind The Scenes isn’t just about podcasting! it’s about moving through the doubt that keeps so many of us stuck. She shares the messy middle openly: the setbacks, the breakthroughs, the real work behind building something meaningful. What’s meant the most to me is her generosity. She’s taken time out of her own schedule to help me set up my podcast equipment and push past hesitation. Her leadership is honest, appreciative, and deeply human. I’m truly grateful for her support and the space she holds.
