Hey Fam,

Last week, we asked you to open up and share your unique entrepreneurial story with us. Your stories were nothing short of inspiring, showcasing resilience, determination, and the incredible power of community. I even shared my own story as well, to offer insight into where I came from, and how I end up here (running WA with Carson).

It’s always fun to see the personal journeys that bring people into the world of online business and affiliate marketing. Every story matters, and this week’s challenge proved just that.

We had some close ties for the top spots this week, and we are going to announce SIX winners (because of a 3 way tie for 3rd) who have each earned $25 in cash credits to continue growing their businesses.

This Week's Winners

A nervous breakdown led to a bipolar and social anxiety diagnosis, but their determination to rebuild has been unwavering. Today, their focus is on helping others facing similar struggles, a true testament to resilience and purpose.
