Episode Summary: What is "community," really?

We toss that word around a lot, but this conversation with Faith Clarke, organizational health & inclusive teams specialist, autism activist, and author, made it click... community isn't a parasocial vibe we hope our subscribers feel. It's something we design together.

Community matters for email because people buy when they trust you. And trust comes from you being a person, not from perfect messaging or sending on the "best" day of the week.

This is how your emails shift from being simply one way broadcasts into two way, mutually-beneficial relationships.

So how do you show up as a whole person, create a community that benefits everyone in it, and invite your audience to participate?

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• Why real community = communal care + protection + shared need-fulfillment (not just "engagement")
• How to "read the room" online when our usual in-person cues are missing
• What it looks like to reimagine email as dialogue, not a monologue—and why frameworks beat formulas
