Whether you have 10 or 10k followers, you DO have a community. We feel it's important to be part of a community because we know how hard it can be to try and grow a business, explore a passion project, or just break from the traditional career/work path without support or understanding. On a personal level, without community, you can feel lost, confused, or like giving up on your big goals.

As a brand, creating community is just as important. As our guest lecturer and podcast guest Becky Pleat stated in her course on creating a branded product, “The fact that you are a small business already gives you an advantage- you can create a sense of community that larger corporations cannot, and you can be more adaptable.”

In this episode:

- create a community around your brand

- deliver content, products and services for your community

- keep your audience engaged, so they’re always coming back for more
