This week Chris and Jamal dig into how to build your Wayfarer toolbox and set yourself up for success—whether you’re brand new or a seasoned Wayfinder. Inspired by real-world onboarding strategies, they break down practical ways to improve your nominations through better photos, stronger supporting information, and cleaner titles and descriptions.

They also discuss how to gain momentum in Wayfarer by doing consistent reviews, making meaningful edits, and learning from others through reviews and forum discussions. The goal? Build confidence, avoid common mistakes, and create higher-quality submissions from the start.

Along the way, the guys touch on GO Fest excitement, community discussions around removals and reviewing behavior, and a preview of next week’s spicy topics.

Stick around for:

✅ Spatial / Scopely News

✅ Wayspots / Coal of the Week

✅ Dad Jokes (of course!)
