Crust & Crumb Academy is an amazing place where people love to share and help each other bake. Whether you are new or experienced, this is the place to learn. I started out with only making sourdough breads, but now I have made baguettes, ciabatta, pretzel loafs and many more. I highly recommend this skill building baking community.

Crust & Crumb Academy - More Than Bread: A Community That Inspires

I came for sourdough… and stayed for the community! Crust & Crumb Academy first showed up on my YouTube feed back in March 2026 while I was searching for ways to bake homemade sourdough bread. I had absolutely no experience baking bread. Honestly, I never had the patience for it. It was far easier to buy bread at the store than to learn how to make it myself. But when my favorite sourdough disappeared from the shelves, I started searching for recipes to recreate it at home… and that search sent me straight down the rabbit hole of sourdough baking. Somewhere along the way, Henry Hunter’s community, Crust & Crumb Academy, popped up. I saved the page for later because the information he shared was incredibly helpful. But I assumed the academy would probably be expensive, and with everything else going on in life and health, I really didn’t want to add one more paid program to my plate. Then I clicked the link. I kept looking for the cost… and couldn’t find one. Finally, I hit “Join” and realized there was absolutely no cost at all. Instead, I found free education, endless resources, and a genuine community—with no sales pitch and no catch. What I found was one of the warmest, most generous, uplifting online communities I’ve experienced in a very long time. There’s laughter. Friendship. Encouragement. Education. Real connection. And the best part? You can actually talk to Henry himself. Ask questions. Get advice. Learn the art of baking—not just sourdough, but enriched breads, yeasted breads, ciabatta, poolish methods, different starters, fermentation techniques, and so much more. The amount of knowledge shared inside this community is incredible. I originally joined just wanting to learn sourdough. What I found instead was a group of like-minded people who genuinely enjoy helping one another grow. The Saturday bake-along is one highlight of the week. Henry guides everyone through the process with prep instructions throughout the week so you know exactly what to expect and what you’ll need. Then, during the actual bake-along, the community comes alive—people sharing wins, struggles, questions, photos, frustrations, breakthroughs, and encouragement in real time. Henry steers the ship beautifully, but he also gives the community room to truly be a community. That’s what makes this place special. One of Henry’s sayings is: “Perfection is not required. Progress is.” You can feel that spirit throughout the entire academy. I deeply appreciate Henry’s generosity, his love for people, his passion for baking, and the way he genuinely listens to the community. Henry welcomes suggestions. Questions get answered. Nobody feels forgotten. Everyone matters here. Personally, I’ve learned so much already—hydration levels, starter care, fermentation timing, dough handling, shaping, troubleshooting… things I never imagined I would understand or enjoy. And my favorite so far? Ciabatta. I absolutely love working with high-hydration dough now. Never in a million years did I think dough would be so fun to work with, but it truly is. Baking has become incredibly therapeutic for me. Had a rough day? Go make bread. Grab a cup of coffee (or favorite drink) and meet with community members who quickly become friends. There’s something deeply satisfying about pulling a beautiful loaf from the oven with a crust you never thought you could create yourself. If you’re looking to learn how to bake—or simply longing for genuine community in a world that desperately needs more of this — I cannot recommend Crust & Crumb Academy enough. This is more than bread making. It’s community at its finest.

The whole concept is great and I'm learning more about sourdough. I tried the pancakes yesterday and they were a hit. The pretzel bread is very good just a lot of steps.

Best YouTube Marketing Community

Hi everyone, I'm Lana Liquity and I joined the Content Revenue Lab because my goal this year is to get 100 subscribers on my YouTube channel. I've had it for several years but I haven't really worked on getting a lot more subscribers and I joined the Content Revenue Lab so I can hit my goal of getting 100 subscribers before the end of this year so I can increase the number of people who see my podcast, Self Publishing for Professionals. Being a member in Dez's Content Revenue Lab has been like, if I said incredible, I would be downplaying it. Dez drops the best information in little bites so you can follow along and easily implement the action steps he tells you to take. And it's all from his experience. It's not inflated, it's not fluffed, and it's not BS. This is what Dez uses to get his YouTube channel more subscribers, more views, and get the right people to his channel. And these are effective practices that work. If you are looking to get the right subscribers to your YouTube account and want to take those subscribers and convert them into paying clients on Skoll, you should join the Content Revenue Lab. The Content Revenue Lab is not for people who are using YouTube as a hobby or just playing around with videos and throwing them up there. The Content Revenue Lab is for serious people who want to generate serious business and generate the right traffic to their platform, to their Skoll community, and to their YouTube channel.

My favorite community about YouTube on Skool.

My favorite community about YouTube on Skool. What I love the most about Content Revenue Lab, that Des, the founder & host, is very responsive to any questions YT related, he shares everything and does hold back. Not only that, but his answers are real and practical, easy to implement. Des's presentation at the Community Clinic event in my community on YouTube was one of the most popular ones. If you have YT channel, or planning one, to help you grow your business, then I highly recommend you join Content Revenue Lab.

I joined The Content Revenue Lab because Des teaches YouTube strategy in a way that finally feels simple and doable. The community is built for creators 40+ who want to learn the same systems he used to build a full-time income from a smaller YouTube audience. What drew me in was the way Des explains things. His approach is different from so many other creators I have learned from. He breaks down YouTube strategy in a way that makes sense, without making you feel overwhelmed. Des is a phenomenal instructor. He truly knows his stuff, but what stands out even more is how much he cares about his members. He is willing to go above and beyond to help people understand, take action, and grow. Since joining The Content Revenue Lab, I have grown in how I think about my YouTube content, but also how I think about my business overall. I now have a clearer way to strategize, create, and move forward. Thank you, Des, for all that you do.
