WGM #38 Recording + WGM EOY Survey Last Call

Such an amazing call yesterday on Retention Tips from AG1.

Wanted to share recording early so people have a chance to watch before EOY.

Also, want to remind everyone again to please fill out the WGM EOY Survey ideally before Christmas.

We're gonna create a really special report off the data that you won't want to miss.

If you fill it out, you get it. If you don't sadly, you won't!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

@channel

#asks-offers-advice - December 17, 2025 at 02:26 PM

this is a great reminder to get someone from Canyon Ranch in the group!! i'm sure they have great people

This is a big reason why WGM exits! It's important to find people who've been there/done that to save time and $$

#asks-offers-advice - December 15, 2025 at 09:10 PM

#random - December 15, 2025 at 03:11 PM

#random - December 15, 2025 at 03:11 PM

#random - December 15, 2025 at 03:11 PM

#asks-offers-advice - December 15, 2025 at 02:17 PM

#asks-offers-advice - December 15, 2025 at 01:42 PM

#asks-offers-advice - December 09, 2025 at 02:40 PM

Sounds like a fun retreat! Not a direct match but maybe <@U0913JDBH4J> or @Caite Opfer have some ideas on how to find local photogs!

#wgm-irl-connects - December 08, 2025 at 04:38 PM

love it! wish i could make it but maybe some NYCers like @Dom D'Alexander or @Maya Ayedor <@U092V7BBL6L> could use a reset too!

#asks-offers-advice - December 08, 2025 at 04:36 PM

super interesting topic! feel like @Joe Cannon <@U096SSKTLV9> <@U0A1CQ6CZ8D> @Kurt Hildebrandt <@U09GZK4AS95> @Lindsey Alger might have some thoughts to name a few!

#asks-offers-advice - December 08, 2025 at 03:06 PM

here is the invite to join WGM group (whatever that means!)

#asks-offers-advice - December 08, 2025 at 03:05 PM

cool! how did they find it useful? what are you imagining using it for??

#asks-offers-advice - December 08, 2025 at 02:54 PM

very cool! feel like <@U092V7BBL6L> @Louisa Li @Nao Yukawa and @Yuli Ziv might be interested to know about that!

#asks-offers-advice - December 05, 2025 at 10:11 PM

I have the free version and am thinking of creating a Happenstance group for WGM. Could be useful??

#asks-offers-advice - December 05, 2025 at 08:55 PM

<@U09U82JPDV2> @Simal Adenwala and @Steve Cole might know someone!

#random - December 05, 2025 at 04:41 PM

I really love end of year reflections and always liked how Steve does his. Hope I can find some time to do it this year! 😅

Anyone else have end of year reflections or traditions they enjoy??

#linkedin-boosts - December 04, 2025 at 04:39 PM

thank YOU for sharing. very psyched to dig in here....might even start doing a WGM roundup every week of cool nuggets we see from people on this list!

#linkedin-boosts - December 04, 2025 at 04:37 PM

Gotta shout out <@U0913JDBH4J> for a super useful Linkedin post about who to follow for certain topics. Great post with a lotta value.

BTW I am thinking maybe this channel can be for people nominating other member's posts from now on so it feels more communal and authenic rather than self promotey? Open to ideas!!

#job-board - December 03, 2025 at 08:06 PM

feel like @Tom Fowler and <@U090MDXE7R9> might know some people?

#asks-offers-advice - December 03, 2025 at 08:02 PM

WOW this sounds super smart and excited to hear how it goes......some people who come to mind who might have some 2 cents are <@U09V4GB3J1K> <@U09GS3W55L0> and maybe <@U09GBH12VG8> (likely just flaggin for him to follow)?

#asks-offers-advice - December 03, 2025 at 07:56 PM

this is a shot in the dark but maybe @Sam Faillace or @Jared Koch or @David Peikon or <@U096XUK1Z6W> has idea? also @Lara Hemeryck on the thought leadership side of things

#announcements - December 02, 2025 at 09:41 PM

#events-and-visibility-opps - December 02, 2025 at 09:36 PM

#asks-offers-advice - December 02, 2025 at 09:34 PM

great question <@U096SSKTLV9>. thanks for posting.

this is very cool! maybe <@U08UGG001SL> <@U09A48BEBLH> @Lee Braun @Kelleigh Whelan can chime in on ROI?

Erewhon obviously has very high loyalty but also curious if it can translate!

#asks-offers-advice - December 02, 2025 at 03:03 PM
