Your Facebook account is one click away from gone


Howdy Reader!

Two of our friends lost their Facebook accounts this month. Another got dropped into a 14-day comment jail on their own pages. And last week, Meta quietly launched a brand new app called Forum, dedicated to Facebook Groups.

If you've built any part of your business on Facebook, this is the episode you need.

This Friday, we're sitting back down with Paul Gowder, founder of PowWows.com and the person behind one of the largest niche communities on Facebook. Paul has been running an online community for 25 years, and he's seen every version of this platform shift.

We'll explore...

  • The 2026 Facebook security stack
  • What actually triggers a 14-day comment jail and the real appeal process inside Meta
  • Whether Meta Verified is worth it for faster account recovery and human support
  • What Meta's brand new Forum app means for Groups and community-builders
  • The hidden Facebook growth habits Paul checks every single week

Be in the chat live so you can ask Paul anything in real time. This is one of those episodes where one specific question from the audience can change everything you do this weekend.

Watch TODAY at 10 AM Central!

See ya there!

Howdy Reader! Right now, I'm looking out my window, and I'm seeing a ton of squirrels chasing each other around the yard. I've glanced out my window and seen tons of squirrels before, but I really never noticed them until this article I read by the researchers at the University of Exeter. They set up a little experiment. Eleven squirrels, one pole, two snacks. Climb a little ways up the pole, you get pumpkin seeds. Climb higher, you get almonds. Over four thousand decision tests, the...

Howdy Reader! I want you to try something this weekend. Open up whatever AI tool you've been paying for, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, doesn't matter, and look at your last ten conversations with it. I'd bet most of them are questions. Ask, answer, copy, close. We're using one of the most powerful tools we've ever had on our desks, like it's just a smarter Google. Today, we're sitting down with Mike Allton, host of The AI Hat Podcast, co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Social Media...

Howdy Reader! If we're connected anywhere on social, you've probably seen this float by. But you're on my email list, which makes you VIP, the big cheese, numero uno. You're one of the people I actually get excited about telling the good stuff to. This is the brand new opening for The Maker's Table, the weekly live show I co-host with Katie Fawkes. Stop-motion plasticine, a cozy cabin, two makers at one table. Forty seconds total. Here's the thing I've been chewing on all week... Three years...
