# Gary Club > Time is your most valuable asset. Stop trading time for money: don't trade a scarce asset for something as abundant as money. Build more. Manage less. Live better.

It brings together ambitious people who want to build or rebuild a business around the life they actually want. Some are starting; some are changing what they have already built. They want more capability and freedom without continually adding more to manage. A small team, a business title, technical experience, Luna use, and living in Austin are not membership requirements. The global audience includes creators, consultants, business owners, and people with an idea they want to pursue. Some want to build independently with SI and a few specialists; others are simplifying an existing company. They bring ideas, experience, taste, and judgment, explore systems that can help carry execution, and share real decisions and tradeoffs. Thoughtful peers, useful introductions, collaboration, and friendships are central to the experience. Gary Club membership is simply membership in the community. The Giraffish philosophy has three pillars: Stand tall, See further, and Live free. Think for yourself, see possibilities beyond the usual playbook, build systems and assets, and own your time, energy, and direction. Share what you see and celebrate others: when one of us rises, the whole Herd stands taller. Being Giraffish is a way of living, practiced every day. Gary’s original philosophy posts: https://x.com/GaryLHenderson/status/2066702135472087071 and https://x.com/GaryLHenderson/status/2065522598578937973. Members share perspectives, challenge each other thoughtfully, and help others move forward. SI is an approach, Luna is a business service, and Gary Club is the community. SI, systems, leverage, ownership, investing, and relationships help people explore a different way to build. Members can use Luna, their own systems, another provider, or still be exploring. The shared belief concerns how people want to build and live, rather than which product they purchase. The value is in the people, their perspectives, and the relationships that continue afterward. Membership includes member conversations, a directory, The Herd’s live audio conversations, live sessions, training, and recordings. Practical help supports the community; membership is not a curriculum people must complete. New memberships are paused while Gary Club moves into its physical home in Austin, opening November 1. Register interest at https://gary.club/austin to hear the details as soon as they are confirmed. Existing members sign in at https://gary.club/login. Members with a verified phone can use Luna’s Gary Club member help by text. Linked Luna clients reach their own operator. Verified event registrants can get their event information and request text reminders. Public texts focus on Gary Club, membership, eligible events and Luna. Talking to Luna does not require an Austin-network invitation. ## A global community and a local experience in Austin Gary Club connects people around the world. Gary Club opens downstairs at Fast Friends in Austin on November 1. Venue: https://www.fastfriendsbeer.com/ — 7313 N Interstate 35 Frontage Rd NB, Austin, TX 78744. Gary Club hours, visiting/access arrangements and membership details will be announced; the brewery’s public hours are not club hours. The vision includes shared work sessions, masterminds, dinners, workshops, talks, live podcasts, events with local and online audiences, wellness gatherings, creative popups, and local collaborations. Community, programming, and marketing can bring visitors and relationships to partner venues and neighboring businesses. The longer-term intention is to help local hosts bring people together in other cities, with Austin as a working example. These are plans, not an existing network of chapters. Local gatherings and paid experiences will have their own announced details and booking terms. Global membership does not require attending Austin events or using Luna. ## Member experience The signed-in portal at https://gary.club/dashboard is a closure notice and asset exit service only. Token utility, the online community, chat and member AI/Luna features have ended. Stacker Agent and the Stacker data service are discontinued, and the 1,000 $GARY monthly data subscriptions are canceled. Through November 15, 2026 (Austin time), existing users can transfer assets out, export their private key using a one-time email code, and undelegate or unlock assets. Support remains open, including after that date. The current online member area closes after November 15. Giraffe will have a new website at https://giraffe.club in collaboration with Dunk and managed by the Giraffe community; the community will also manage the Giraffe Tower NFT X account. Primary destinations are Home, Events, Chat, Members, Resources and The Space. Resources brings guides, courses, sessions and replays together. The Space publishes confirmed visiting information; local access and ticket requirements are stated per event. Membership remains available to people outside the local area. All on-chain assets connected to Gary Club, including $GARY, $GIRAFFISH and Gary Club NFTs such as Giraffes, no longer carry utility as of October 20, 2026; a Giraffe is no longer a membership. Gary Club wallet private keys were compromised in the breach. Use those keys only to move assets into a newly created wallet with a new key, and never receive or store assets in the compromised wallet again. Importing an old key into another wallet app does not make it safe. Gary Club wallets are for moving assets out only, and the wallet service (transfers, Giraffe unlocks and key export) ends on November 15, 2026: https://gary.club/transition. ## Luna, the SI operator service Luna helps businesses get customers and makes the marketing work for them: social content, email sequences, lead magnets, funnels, and landing pages. Start with one offer, one acquisition workflow, and an agreed finished deliverable. Our human team builds, connects, trains, and manages the custom SI operator. Implementation, sending, publication, and spend depend on connected tools and the client's agreed permissions. Track delivered assets separately from qualified replies, attended calls, customers and acquisition cost; missing measurement stays unknown. Luna is a managed SI operator service with a human team behind the custom build. Luna is an AI character represented by a consistent human-style face, already at work inside Gary Club. A custom operator can be built, trained, connected, and managed around another business, with its own identity and brand voice. Owners choose what to delegate and keep their judgment and the work they enjoy. Her five lanes are: - Sales: outreach, qualification, and follow-up. - Marketing: content and the work that keeps a business visible. - Community: welcoming people, answering questions, and keeping conversations moving. - Customer service: routine questions and support, with human escalation when needed. - Executive assistance: email, meetings, notes, and follow-through. Community membership and a custom operator for your business are separate offers. Start with the public Luna page for capabilities and next steps: https://gary.club/luna. The ads overview surfaces pending budget opportunities with current results, recent evidence and exact proposed transfers for review. Connected ads workspaces include initiative-specific weekday comparisons over 4, 8 or 12 weeks. Partial days need observed same-time history; missing history is shown explicitly. Luna’s integration directory covers 1,600+ apps, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Stripe and GitHub. Owners connect their own accounts, explore supported tools and review actions that send or change data. Browse at https://luna.gary.club/connections. Availability depends on the provider’s tools and account permissions. Clients can use the private Work area at https://luna.gary.club/work to discuss shared plans, review delivery reports and approve the next task. Eligible weekly reviews prepare ideas from their goals and work. Operator handoffs depend on supported connections and existing permissions. ### Latest Luna milestones Reviewed October 18, 2026. These milestones span Gary Club, the Austin network and custom operators. Available tools depend on the operator's setup and permissions. - October: Learned to curate your Gary Club daily read. Home’s private While you were out briefing connects authorized room conversations, real club news, sourced outside updates and upcoming gatherings. Her picks draw on membership, shared memory and member activity, with direct links back to the club; when her connection is unavailable, Home shows clearly labeled recent highlights. - October: Learned to keep clients in the work. The private Luna portal opens on a shared work recap and Assistant. New Assistant work keeps its original chat, notes and decisions; agent activity updates its lane and delivery reports retain evidence. Owners approve or decline the exact plan, teams steer work, request Gary’s help and accept results, and eligible weekly reviews prepare ideas from their goals and work. Live replies and handoffs use supported operator connections and existing action permissions. - October: Learned to prepare branded ad tests. Connected ads clients can draft angles and copy, generate images through configured fal.ai or OpenRouter connections, review each creative and prepare a verified paused Meta test. Recurring reviews keep local schedules and run receipts; Google Ads reads and Stripe payment evidence use the client’s own connections when configured. - October: Learned to turn source material into finished marketing. Gary’s private Luna can keep an original transcript, make checked social posts, email sequences, guides, landing page copy and SOPs, and compare reported campaign results. Her workspace also exposes memory evidence, version history and owner corrections; publishing still uses the existing connected tools and permissions. - October: Brought Gary Club help into text. Verified members can use Luna’s member DM brain by text, linked clients reach their own operator, and event registrants can ask about their own events and request reminders; public conversations welcome questions about Gary Club, membership, eligible events and Luna. - October: Learned to connect more of your apps. Owners can explore 1,600+ apps including Gmail, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce and Shopify in a searchable integration directory, connect their own accounts and start with guided workflows across her five lanes; supported reads use the connected account, and actions that send or change data wait for review of the exact details. - October: Learned to keep her word. Every time an operator tells someone she will do something, it becomes tracked work: she does it, checks the live result, and tells them it is done; when something only the owner or their team can give is holding it up, she names exactly what and asks once, and the daily open-items note shows what she still owes; a batch of emails the owner asked for is one line, never one approval per email. - October: Learned to prepare checked work when things change. Gary’s private Luna can wake saved read routines from watched changes, retain dated decisions and project history, and check specified results against source records or artifacts. Five customer Assistants gained scheduled read preparation through their existing owner approvals, with revocation and pause controls. - October: Learned to keep a shared project workspace. Gary’s private Luna keeps projects, preferences, responsibilities and draft artifacts together across owner conversations; he can review changes, approve saved read routines, revoke them and see which sources are connected. Seven customer operators also gained private local project and preference records. - October: Learned to keep ongoing work in context. Gary’s private Luna connects questions with goals, decisions, people and unfinished work across her records, keeps a cited working view between conversations, and prepares useful next steps; private email, chat, the central operator and owner-only voice recall share that context. - October: Learned to carry client operator updates through. Gary's central Luna can apply routine instructions and knowledge changes to registered client operators, test their live answers and keep a completion receipt; ongoing client email threads can hand her the relevant maintenance work without giving clients access to another business's operator. - October: Came with her own browser. A real browser is now included with every operator: she opens sites with no API, reads them as a person would, fills forms and can show you a live window while she works, with nothing for you to sign up for; a business that uses it heavily can move it onto its own account and she switches over by herself. - October: Learned to listen to voice notes. Send an operator a voice memo by text, in Slack, by email or in the portal and she hears it and answers what you said, the same as if you had typed it. - October: Learned how each of your people likes to be told things. When someone on your team gets lost in a message, a question back, a misread ask, too many emails at once, the operator notices, and from then on writes to that person the way they read best: plainer words, one ask at a time, the number that matters first; each person gets their own way, learned from what they actually said, in everything the operator writes to them. - October: Learned to read the pages she finds, and to make images. Ask an operator anything and she searches the web, opens the pages that answer it, reads them in full, X included, and answers with the source; ask for a graphic, a mockup or an illustration and she makes the image right in the conversation. - October: Learned to change the ad account when you ask. Tell her in your own words what you want done with the ads, like “this one is burning money, kill it” or “push the winner”; she works out the exact change, asks you once with the numbers, makes it only after you say yes, and confirms it on the account; budget moves stay inside the same per-change limits, and targeting is never changed this way. - October: Learned to claim her own email address. Name an operator and it has its own email address that moment; ask it to send an email before it has one and it sets the address up, tells you what it is and sends; the address can be changed later and mail sent to the old one still arrives. - October: Learned to hand over long work as a document. Research write-ups, plans and workflows arrive as a Google Doc in the owner's own Drive, or as a Word file attached from a mailbox on the owner's own domain, with a short note instead of a wall of email; she can only see and change the documents she created, and shares them only with the owner's team. - October: Learned to show what she remembers, and to forget on request. Anyone can ask what she knows about them and see it plainly; say forget, and it is deleted for real and never re-learned from old conversations; owners can do the same for their own contacts. - October: Learned to hand out time-boxed permissions. The owner tells their operator in plain words that one person on the team may approve one kind of work for a while, such as emails to named vendors until Friday; she reads it back, it starts only once the owner approves it, it never covers more than the owner could approve themselves, the owner hears the first time it is used, and it ends on its own or the moment they take it back. - October: Learned to carry one conversation across every channel. Everything said with someone by email, text, phone, Slack, the portal, a meeting or a comment lands in one memory on that operator's own server, and she reads all of it before she answers anywhere, so a conversation started in one place carries on wherever the person turns up next, anything left open gets finished there, and what was said in private never surfaces in a public reply. - October: Learned to answer in the meeting chat. Talk to her during a call, out loud or in the chat, and she answers in the chat within seconds; anyone on the call can ask what was said or what she is doing, while anything that needs the owner's records, or is meant only for them, is looked up by the full operator and sent to the owner privately instead of to the room. - October: Learned to join a call from its link. Send her the link of a call you are already on, in the assistant, by email or by text, and she joins within a minute and takes the notes exactly as if she had been invited. - October: Learned to answer for any dates. Ask what the ads spent and brought in for any stretch of days, in your own words, from Sept 27 to Oct 1 to the last three days, and she reads exactly those days off the account and adds them up for you; the same answer comes on the ads desk, in the assistant, by text, in Slack or from Claude. - October: Learned to update a client's GoHighLevel emails. When a date or a link changes she updates the client's GoHighLevel email templates and custom values, changing only what is out of date (or holds every edit for approval when the client asks), keeps a copy of what was there, and will not overwrite anything the team changed in the meantime; workflows, forms and funnel pages stay with the client's team. - October: Learned to interview a new client. Calls a new client from their studio to learn the business in their own words, its customers, its offers and what a win looks like in ninety days, and turns the conversation into the file their operator is built from; every real call is reviewed afterwards so the next one is better. - October: Learned to take instructions by text. A client links their iPhone once from the portal and then texts their operator the way they would message the assistant; it does the work on their own server and texts back the answer, and anything that would reach another person comes back as a text they approve first. - October: Learned to research the people you are about to meet. Half an hour before a call with someone new she reads their website, finds them on LinkedIn, X and the rest, and sends a brief on who they are, what their company does, what they have been doing lately and what to ask, every fact with its source; for a regular check-in with someone you already work with she skips the bio and sends where things stand and what is still owed. - October: Learned to take your inbox rules in conversation. Tell her once in chat which senders are noise, who comes first, who not to chase and how long before someone counts as gone quiet; she reads the rule back, keeps it, and sorts your mail by it from then on, and nobody else can change it.
