Ways I dislike -- and ways I like -- for you to ask me questions 😅
Thank you for engaging with my courses! I truly am grateful to be able to support you, my students and clients, in growing your authentic business. It’s what I love doing the most. 🤗 At the same time, since I'm (mostly) a solopreneur, I also need to keep healthy boundaries with those I'm supporting... so I hope you will keep these in mind... Ways I dislike getting questions: Social media private messaging -- whether it's FB messaging, IG dm's, Twitter, LinkedIn etc... I really dislike getting questions through those channels because it's hard to organize messages in those places. Kindly refrain from asking me questions via social media direct messages. Email -- I don't mind getting questions via email if it's enrollment-related: something you need to clarify before signing up for my courses or programs. If it's questions related to the content of my courses, e.g. concepts, exercises, feedback requests etc, please use one of the following methods... Ways I love to receive your questions: Q&A calls -- this is my favorite way to engage with you and take your questions! There, you can ask me anything 🤗 Even if you’re not clear about your question, coming to the call will likely give you inspiration and ideas! You can then ask me about specific concepts, or how to apply them to your business. We can troubleshoot what's not working, or address specific challenges you're having. You can also seek my feedback about anything including your strategy, website, content, offers, or anything else. Click here: George Kao Q&A Calls. Comments under Lessons -- if you can't come to my Q&A calls or would love to get an answer sooner, find the course (George Kao Courses) related to the topic of your question. Go there, find the related lesson, and then comment underneath. This keeps the Q&A focused on a specific topic. I'll do my best to respond to your question within a few days. Members of ABC/MasterHeart -- I'd love for you to post your questions in our private forum, so that you can receive responses from other members. Your questions will also help me prepare for the next ABC Q&A calls. Even if you can't post your questions, you can still come to the Q&A calls and ask directly. Thank you for understanding! 🙏🏼 As business owners / service providers we each need to find a way to keep healthy boundaries in our work! I hope this page/video gives you some ideas for how to maintain a good relationship with your own audience as well. 😊 New as of 2025 -- before you ask me anything, consider asking my Ai chatbot! Whatever course you have access to, my Ai is also trained on that course material, and can coach you step bys tep about the course material. Click here to see how that works
Thanks for discussing an important topic that keeps your work load sustainable! How do the Q/As work for i-JoyPro members - as you mentioned clients in ii-ABC/Master I am assuming there are two categories (i and ii) for Q/A access.
@Ambereen Safiullah thanks for asking -- as a JoyPro member you can ask any questions during our weekly JoyPro trainings (the last 15-20 minutes of every call, at this point usually have no questions! so I welcome yours) or... as a member you also have access to my monthly ask-anything calls: www.georgekao.com/qa

How to know whether you're ready to attend my Q&A calls?
When are the Q&A calls? Click here
I enjoyed your creator 'hospitality' in this video :)
@Ambereen Safiullah thank you so much 😊
I watched your youtube video. So on Facebook sometimes my post is going to someone who is not a friend?
I only experience comments or likes from people I dont know who are the creepy men telling me I have a great personality and they want to be friends. I thought they find me thru comments i leave on other's posts.
@Donna Becker yes, those scammers/spammers have clever ways of finding new people! I block them.
Your FB posts privacy, if it's set to "everyone" (which I see yours are) will be shown to anyone that chances on your post or visit your profile. They chance upon your post when your friends (or anyone) comment on your post and like it enough.
@Donna Becker if you're not getting a lot of spam comments, I wouldn't worry about it. I have mine on maximum discoverability.

Welcome to the Soulful Content Course!
Hello and a warm welcome! I'm George Kao, and I'm truly delighted you're joining us for Soulful Content: Stand Out & Connect Deeply in the Age of AI Noise. Begin by watching the video above this text. It includes a welcome message and a short visualization/meditation to help us all arrive fully and ground ourselves in this learning space together. Let's enjoy learning and working lightly :) Our Journey Together Our core purpose: To empower you to consistently create authentic content (rooted in your OGI -- Organic Grounded Insight, which you'll learn about later in this module) that truly connects with your ideal audience, stands out naturally from the noise, and feels both sustainable and joyful for you. Key highlights of what we'll explore over the next ~6 months: Unearth and articulate your unique Organic Grounded Insight (OGI). Mine your lived experiences, client work, and daily awareness for potent content. Deeply understand and resonate with your ideal audience. Craft compelling content using effective structures that honor your OGI. Overcome creative blocks and use AI ethically as a supportive tool. Share content effectively using low-competition strategies (like Strategic Commenting). Build sustainable workflows and personalized content plans. Module 1 Objectives: Setting Our Foundation By the end of this first module, our goal is for you to: Understand the current content challenges and why OGI is the key. Clearly define Organic Grounded Insight (OGI) for yourself. Begin practicing accessing your OGI through intuition and daily awareness. Start recognizing elements of resonance in successful content. Begin mining OGI from your strengths and successes. Establish your initial OGI Capture Log and foundational creation rhythm. Feel welcomed and connected as we begin building our community. Expected Transformation Imagine moving from content confusion or overwhelm towards a place of clarity, confidence, and even joy in expressing your authentic voice. Picture your content creating genuine ripples of connection and positive impact. That's the potential we're cultivating throughout this course. Our Co-Learning Community I see my courses as a learning community that I'm facilitating – we learn from each other. I look forward to learning from you, just as you'll learn from what I share and from the insights of your peers. Culture-setters: Each of us influences our course's culture with every interaction. How would you like for this course community to feel? What are a few top values you'd love for us to embody together? (Share your thoughts in the comments below!) Some guiding principles for us: Comment once, reply twice. For each comment that you make sharing your own thoughts or questions, try to find 2 other comments (especially those with fewer replies) and add your encouragement or helpful suggestions. This fosters true community interaction. Co-learning. None of us knows everything. As we learn through action and reflection, let's share generously and create a supportive co-learning environment. I look forward to learning from your comments! Confidentiality. Let's maintain this as a safe space. Please agree to keep all comments shared here, especially personal reflections, confidential within our course group. Receive deeply. When others share their reflections or feedback on something you've posted (especially if it's personal), practice receiving it deeply. It’s a powerful practice for integration and understanding your unique energy signature. (Let me know below if these values are helpful, and if you have any suggestions. The values we embody together here are what make this course experience amazing for each other!) 😊 Navigating the Course Lessons: Each lesson typically includes a video from me, followed by text like this for details and exercises. Activities: Engage with the prompts and exercises by commenting under each lesson if you'd like, or by using a personal journal / private document. Community comments: Use the comment section below each lesson for questions related to that lesson, sharing insights (optional), and interacting with peers based on our community principles. Support: Ask content-related questions under the relevant lesson. For broader questions or personalized guidance, join the Live Q&A Calls with George (mentioned in the onboarding module.) Your First Steps & Introduction Let's put our community principles into practice right away and get to know each other! Ensure you've watched the video at the top (including the visualization). In the comments section below this lesson, please share: What kind of Work you do (or aspire to do). One key Hope you have for taking this "Soulful Content" course. Your thoughts on the Community Values mentioned above (any you particularly resonate with, or suggestions?). Practice "Reply Twice": After posting your introduction, please take a look at others' introductions and reply to at least two classmates with a warm welcome or encouraging comment. (If you don't see comments below or don't have the ability to comment, please ensure you are logged into the course platform.) I'm so glad you're here. Let the journey begin 🙌🏾😊
Thank you George. I am trying to open to the possibilities that people want to hear from me instead of me feeling that I can't write engagingly or interest them. Here is an article which inspired me by a friend of Ingrid Lill Imagine yourself as a radio programme that your listeners love
@Esther Abergel yes to this intention! Remember that people are so different, and your ideal audience (by definition) is more attracted to your energy signature than the average person. So it's not that "people want (or don't want) to hear from you" -- it's which people :)
just watching this. It's the first in my effort to complete this course. I love George and his guest has so much to say. I wish @George Kao would allow the guest to speak easily as it's challenging to pay attention as George interjects (too) many affirmations while the guest is speaking. (this is intended as gentle feedback 🙏 )
@LIsa Byrne I'm glad you said this -- I know what you mean actually since I have the same feeling about other hosts! Thank you for taking the time and care to share it.
This is challenging to me. Meeting in real life I do pretty good. I work with energy, previously through music and words as a dj and entertainer, now as a healer and transition coach. And people pic up the energetics, and are then curios (or not). From there any “hard facts” easily slide into the conversation.
BUT getting this “energetic me” across in writing has been a 25 year long struggle. Basically all and any “marketing tricks” I’ve learned over the years; nope, not working.
Over the years the frustration has turned mostly into sadness. Writing and realizing this NOW, I had to stop. Suddenly there is an update to an 8 year old blog post called “Joy - the Catalyst”. Quote:
“Sadness
Add a Droplet of Joy to sadness and it transforms into genuine Care.
Add another Droplet of Joy to genuine Care and it transforms to Presence.”
@Ola Jannhov I wonder if you have tried to record yourself in a meeting with an ideal client, and then transcribed your part of the conversation, and see how you can write like that... or give those snippets to Ai and ask it to write like that? :)
