"JoClub is an abbreviation which means Journaling Club, but also holds significance due to the name of my daughter." Jo Franco begins. "When I started to write, I noticed that I was experiencing a lot of emotions along with older siblings who did not want to hear that. So, I began writing."

"I had no documents when I was a kid as I hid from the world as well as conversing in Portuguese and learning English by tripping over things," she relates. "I gained a number of different languages as I was constantly amazed by being able to be understood. Yet, at the that I also felt disdainful since I was among the very few youngsters. My appearance was different to everyone within my circle. I was the youngest child and I had a quiet voice and peaceful character.

"Of of course I am able to imagine it happening within the next few years. It was the way it went in the present, when I was suffering from the feeling of being unnoticed? that's why many people feel that in a similar way."

It was a blessing that Jo did have the ability of writing: "I had a more sensitive relationship with myself as I was able observe without judgement. I wrote about all this negative stuff, but I'm also aware that good things occurred throughout my life. I was able to modify my writing style, not just my writing style, but also I was able to, using an odd technique, reverse engineer how my mind works because I was searching for positive narratives. I had to be able to see positive factors to determine positive points that I could write about. I became more optimistic person. I was able to be more positive."

Knowing the context

Going to university in Manhattan at University of Manhattan, Jo was amazed by the quantity of voices to contend with. Additionally, she was capable of filling the room in her journal. "It didn't matter if I resided living in the States or was in different countries, I used this journal to allow me to return to my home.

"My "why" provides people with the same sense of "You're capable of this whatever the circumstances may turn out to be. This isn't just a means to improve your emotional state but also satisfying to document the experience by writing it down. If you write it down, you demonstrate a small gesture of appreciation that it did happen at all. You'll always fit in your own skin as well as your head."

"There's evidence-based science to support this assertion," she says. "There have been studies that were conducted about how to use writing for treatments for medical conditions. When people write down their gratitude, they will feel more grateful."

"Give your mind the relief. Take the weight off your shoulders and write it down on paper. If you write about negative events, you allow yourself the space to examine it with emotion that's not overwhelming. There is a risk of getting caught up with emotions. It is the basis of every thing; the base of confidence that is the essence of charisma. It's the main reason to enter an area and being able to draw good luck."

"Maybe that's because it's one of the members"

Jo definitely accomplished a lot of positive things in 2020. With her YouTube channel, which boasts more than one million users and she earned money to travel. "I lived this thrilling and public existence, however, in the background, I composed. That was all I wanted to accomplish. The one thing I did was write."

In the month of January in 2020, she got her first Netflix task as anchor of The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals. "It is a path that has taken to me leaving YouTube to the standard way of presenting. If anyone has worked on the set, they'll know how long these days can get. Most days are sixteen hours long, with many instances of 'Hurry and waiting'. It's time to get ready for the day: makeup, hair done. There are some lines you'd like to create within your head. But you'll hear, "No, just kidding It's time to get rid of them!!"

Between those pauses, often that lasted for long durations, Jo would write. "Writing was an activity I was passionate about, and that's why I was determined to make into a profession." When covid began to gain fame, the main source of income.

"I felt anxious, just like everyone around me. I made the decision to share photos from my journals. It was 100 days later and I was journaling for anyone in Instagram Stories. I thought to myself "Hey it could be something to use as a foundation of a membership. Perhaps users be interested in joining an online space where they can journal together. This is the way JoClub came into existence. It was just four years ago. That's crazy!"

As part of the Netflix show, Jo realized that journaling is a way of using her eyes to see how allowed her to observe the world. "It wasn't just being a pursuit for an interest. When you're traveling for two days, you're tired. It's simple to become exhausted by something that isn't connected to what you're paying for.

"You realise, it is my way to view the world. This is how I am seeing the world. That is the way I see myself living. This was clear for me to leave other things aside. The only thing that they could take away from me is my writing. I was looking to integrate that into my next chapter in my life."

Doing something more than her own

Jo put her all into the project. "I published three videos every week in three languages. It was necessary to employ employees and then remove them. I was taught how to create the content machine."

However, something had to be changed. "I wanted to do something that I was taking a break from. If you're tired or burnt out as is typical for creators and entrepreneurs, it's unlikely that you'll be able to make money. It was my realization that in the event that this job is one which I intend to continue for a long time I'll need to come ways to keep my face from possibilities to earn money."

Jo decided to come up with something that was more exciting than she ever thought of. The first journaling group was formed at the very beginning of Zoom: "The membership started at just $29 per month. the benefit was one live chat every month and I'd send out daily journal prompts for everyone's inbox email."

She wanted to develop an exercise class that resembled yoga. The instructions included were followed by a lively discussion after which she gave two questions, followed by breaks in rooms. "It was IP (intellectual property)," she recalls. "After an interval of six months, I started asking how I could educate facilitators in the running of these activities? In fact, can facilitators help JoClub to improve in ways that I've never had the chance to? They'd want to "extract all the goodness" as well as work with the facilitators, some of which were JoClub members, in developing an art journaling format and an "bring your own tune" session for musicians in the early stages and different activities that are similar to JoClub.

"Now we're hosting at least six sessions a month, and I'm hosting more sessions than I'd like to," she says. "Beautiful occasions that I would not have imagined would happen, including retreats I run and I conducted an experiment at the university. And currently we're working on a variety of issues. This wouldn't be possible to accomplish this if I'd placed it into Jo Franco's team and my role as the principal."

Communities and Culture

"An important part of the concept of membership is the fact that it can help create an environment" she says. "If you purchase an membership and you're allowed to enter your home, then you're able to design your home in your way that you want." Jo together with her team has explored ways to create more vibrant threads to ensure that "people discuss the problems in the community, and believe that they're getting what they pay for worth."

"It's what differentiates an audience from a member," she adds. "An audience will likely engage with your content and this isn't actually a dialogue. If I upload video content and people make remarks about it, I'll reply on a discussion forum. By forming an online community that I'm curating, I'm part of the structure of the community when people join the group."

Jo was able to think about the process of onboarding as well as how we can handle the newcomers. "How do we deal with this newcomer who walks in the room and feels like they're not a part of the group? The moment you realize that, is when you are able to begin focusing on the curating of culture. it's the reason why you keep them for an extended amount of duration."

It's not simple. "It's an art and something you must remain passionate about in order to keep growing since the membership of a member is an ongoing matter. If you don't pay close attention to news stories, you'll end up losing your friends."

It's evident that Jo is bringing the compassion and self-awareness that she has acquired through her journaling to the way she handles her membership. She believes that journals help us become more mindful of ourselves. not taught as kids: "We're not given tools to deal with emotions. There are tools that could help you stay safe from falling. It was difficult for me to grasp these advantages. I believed it was a fantastic activity for recreation. As I got older, I realized, "Damn! I've been hiding all my secrets"!"

If people inquire about Jo, just 30', what did you do all day? I just journalled about it and everything went well," she smiles.
