A great space to share and grow
It is great to have a space to share what we are growing and so much support from Shannon to do so. I have had people join my group, grab a freebie and join a collaboration from my engagement in this group and the recent 24 Mayhem Event was awesome ☺️

I love Skool Classifieds because it feels like a real family genuinely interested in helping Skool community owners connect with each other to grow and stay in the stretch. None of this would be possible without the effort of Shannon Boyer, the community creator. The networking and visibility opportunities are honest and bountiful. So are the 24 hour Mayhem events! Lots of practice getting visible here. Thanks to Shannon❤

This community is the best example of biz owners small, large and everything inbetween still feeling human. During May Mayhem 24hrs promotional posts I had so many lovely comments on my posts and really made me feel seen and confirmed I am on the right path with my new community. Shannon is always so supportive and really connects owners who have things in common.

Building a course? Build Lab will help you make it a standout.
Shannon is such a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. I joined Build Lab late in the game... my course was already built out and launched. But as I'm going through the classroom here, I'm finding so many opportunities for improvement. Most coaches just say "build a course, you'll make money!" But Shannon actually teaches you HOW to do it. With grace, patience, and encouragement every step of the way.

High-Impact, High-Value Support for Course Creators
Shannon is truly the best of the best when it comes to course creation. She has an incredible ability to break down the process in a way that makes it clear, doable, and meaningful, especially for those of us who want to teach with real impact and create high-quality courses. What sets Shannon apart is not just her expertise, but how she shows up. She brings in thoughtful guest experts who genuinely complement the course-creation process, is responsive and present with questions and needs inside the community, and has built a cohesive, supportive space for creators. I’ve used her framework to build two signature courses, and I continue to come back to it. If you’re serious about creating courses that are well-designed, aligned, and effective, Shannon and The Build Lab need to be part of your plan.
