Hey **@everyone** — hope you had a great weekend 😃

Mentioned this during Friday's mastermind: we want to share our process of building this community & get your feedback. So to kick this off....

Let's talk about member onboardings 🎉

Imo, onboarding is one of the most important aspects of the community because it's the easiest place to retain members!

Good onboarding keeps the hype going for 2-3 weeks. Weak onboarding == instant churn.

We opted for a live kick-off for a couple reasons

Our prep work ✍️

As we were prepping for this, here's the Notion doc I put together internally. Goal was to get all our team on the same page & write together some basic scripts to get the masterminds running smoothly without wayyy too much prep required.

Lobbies are awkward 😖

We started by playing Spotify in the background (just grabbed their "Mood Booster" playlist). Music has a lot of cues built-in and makes Zoom silence not feel weird. People can ask about the song, get settled in, and it sets the tone for the rest of the call. Learned this from **@Anggun Berlian** and the rest of the Transcend team!

Just start screensharing on zoom and click Advanced > Share Computer Audio. Screenshot below

Agenda was simple ✅

Our goal was to get to masterminds as fast as possible since this is the fun part that creates excitement.
