Make It with Mike and Kristen

Episode 168: Community Building


Listen Later

In this week’s heartfelt episode, we explore something we never set out to build—but has become the foundation of everything we do: community.

 

From Togetherland to touring, podcasting to painting, we’ve realized that the thread running through all of our creative pursuits is the people around us. We didn’t plan to be “community builders,” but here we are—surrounded by a web of connection, support, and shared purpose.

 

Join us as we chat about:

  • The difference between community and audience
  • How being from small towns shaped our understanding of showing up for each other
  • The role of the arts in gathering people and sparking connection
  • The magic of people who have supported us time and again—whether in person or online
  • Why maintaining and giving back to community is critical to “making it” as an artist
  •  

    This episode is both a reflection and a thank-you—to you, our community. Your presence and support fuel our creative journey every single day.
