Events create concentrated experiences. Attendees engage deeply over a short period. This intensity builds relationships faster than any other format.

The event ladder moves attendees from free exposure to paid participation to premium experiences. Each event type serves a different rung.

EVENTS

Free Webinars as Top of Funnel

Free webinars attract new prospects. Deliver genuine value while demonstrating your expertise. End with a soft offer for next-step engagement.

Structure webinars to leak your methodology without giving everything away. Leave attendees wanting more.

Event Type Purpose
Free webinar Attract, educate
Paid workshop Deeper transformation

Paid Workshops

Paid workshops offer deeper transformation in 2-4 hours. Participants get focused learning and interaction. Price accessibly to encourage attendance.

Multi-Day Courses

Extended events (weekend workshops, week-long intensives) provide immersive experiences. These command higher prices and produce deeper results.

Conferences and Summits

Large events with multiple speakers and tracks. These can be produced solo or with partners. Conferences build community at scale.

Retreats and Masterminds

Top of the event ladder: multi-day retreats with limited attendance. Intimate, transformative, premium-priced. These create lifelong memories and relationships.

If you run events, map your offerings against this ladder. What rungs are missing? What could you add to serve attendees at different levels?

Brain Breaks - Primel Number and Ooodle Number Challenges for Students and Classrooms

Oleh -
I’ve long been a huge proponent of finding creative ways to give students a break. Call them “Brain Breaks” or whatever. I believe these types of activities have real benefits for students. These breaks can also be a fun way to interact with students outside of the content or they can be connected to your content in creative ways. I find that my students typically are able to refocus and are usually more productive after we engage in a quick creative brain break. 

I recently shared a brain break resource called Wordle. Wordle is an online daily word game that has became a popular social trend in 2021 and continues to be played and shared in 2022.  Today I wanted to share a similar game, but instead of words it’s all about prime numbers.

Primel
I learned about the game Primel from a recent post by Tony Vincent. Primel is similar to Wordle, but instead of guessing a 5 letter word the player has to guess a 5 digit prime number in 6 guesses or less.

This game is really a challenge for me. It only lets the player enter prime numbers as guesses, so you can’t just add random numbers to start. I had to find a list of 5 digit prime numbers to even get started. It definitely takes quite a bit of logical thinking to work through the one of the daily challenges. 

This was my first attempt. Made it, but just barely.

Ooodle
Tony Vincent also shared Ooodle. The goal of Ooodle is to guess numbers in a sequence to complete a number sentence. Ooodle is part of a collection of unique math puzzles and games. 


Quick tip: If you are displaying the game on a projector and want to play with multiple classes throughout the day, consider using Google Chrome Incognito Mode. It will be the same word each day, but it won’t remember or show your last attempt or block your from trying again.
