She is also the host of The Community Corner with Beth McIntyre podcast.

Beth lives in the incomparable Rocky Mountains in Jasper, Canada and spends most of her free time in total awe of their majesty.

BIG IDEA 1

“That excitement, that enthusiasm, that engagement can take place the entire year.” (7:50)

Beth discusses a growing trend on how communities are starting to leverage off the momentum of holding annual conferences or large one-off company events that bring all their customers or users together in one place. She talks about the experience of going to a trade show or conference how you walk in, you can feel the buzz, people are talking and it’s so exciting! And when you get home afterwards you are still feeling that buzz and excitement, you have all these big ideas about things you are going to implement.

Beth then talks about how little touch points there are after a big event, an email, a survey, another email to say the recordings are uploaded, that’s it. Then you have to wait another 11 months to feel that excitement again. She says more and more companies are starting to take the momentum from that conference, and using it to build a community for the other 11 months of the year. They feed into each other, the conference will help build your community, it will help engage. It will help drive that momentum and your community will help drive the momentum back into your conference. So it doesn't have to just be this one big event. That excitement, that enthusiasm, that engagement can take place the entire year.

 BIG IDEA 2

“Social media is an entry point and the community is an end point” (23:20)

Beth talks about the customer journey loop and the difference between communicating on social media and communities. Social media is the top of the funnel and how customers find you, but it’s not a community because it’s not necessarily a 2-way street.

She says the community space is a lot more intentional, it’s like a bubble at the bottom of the funnel. There's an identity. So instead of someone just choosing to follow you on Twitter or on social media, there's kind of an agreement that you have these expectations for your members, and they have expectations of you. The beauty of the community is that you're both meeting those expectations and holding each other accountable to how you want to be treated and what the purpose of the community is, and what we're there for in the first place.

When we talk about the social identity cycle, it starts with identification. Beth feels like...

In this episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and Social Mediology founder Kate vanderVoort chats with Lucy Good, founder of Beanstalk Single Mums and the popular Facebook group, The Single Mum Vine. Lucy has been named as a finalist for the 2018 AusMumpreneur Awards in two categories: Making A Difference (business) and Women Changing the World.

About Lucy

Lucy Good is the founder of Beanstalk Single Mums, an online space which empowers single mothers to re-find their potential and re-build their confidence through a website that delivers targeted information and support. Lucy works with hundreds of single mothers through the offering of her online course and her Facebook group, the Single Mum Vine.

She sits at the centre of the think-tank of modern-day single motherhood and is a sought-after social commentator on single parent issues.

Her podcast covers all areas of single motherhood including separation, family law, children of divorce, co-parenting, solo-parenting, education, careers, dating, sex, health, household, and a range of money matters.

BIG IDEA 1

“The guidelines that you have for your group are imperative” (12:40)

Lucy discusses the importance of having a set of guidelines. The guidelines are imperative and need to be stuck to. The guidelines in Lucy’s group include things like:

-         We, we don't allow rants. You can't just come on and have a whinge. Now you can come on and say, look, I've had a really crap day because this has happened. Wonder if anyone else has been through the same or anyone's got any solutions or suggestions as I can as how I can get over it. But you can't just come on and say, I've just had a crap day because that helps one person, that one person who's put the post on and it brings down everybody else that reads it.

-         We don't allow man-hating or ex bashing in the group. So we're about trying to foster positive relationships with your ex partners, if at all possible. So we'd love it if someone comes on and says, Hey, you know my ex and I went into this with the kids today, we had a great day.

-         We have a lot of rules around what you can post, like no medical posts. You can't put a post on there because then you get all these people who have no idea what they're talking about, providing medical information. And we have had it in the past where we've had a kid in hospital because someone's given the wrong advice.

The guidelines are set up for a reason.

BIG IDEA 2

“You often get a topic which just keeps coming onto the thread over and over again. Sometimes it's a topic that doesn't really work with what the group is about” (22:53)

In discussing repetitive posts or posts that go off topic Lucy says; One other thing as well, that's really important is you'll notice that in groups, you often get a topic which just keeps coming onto the thread over and over again. Sometimes it's a topic that doesn't really work with what the group is about, but it has to be there. So for my group that’s Centrelink, everyone's got questions about Centrelink and they just flood the feed. Now the feed is meant

BIG IDEA 1

“The brand of the organisation rides off the opportunity that comes with your personal brand.” (5:34)

Ian discusses how leveraging his own personal brand and reach Increases both the intrinsic value for the individual, and helps grow the business through representation. Techniques such as social selling and appearing on forums such as blogs, podcasts, panels, and events become mutually beneficial. Through doing so, the brand of the organisation benefits from the opportunities that arise from building his own personal brand, and rides off the credibility he has earned through things he has done prior to joining the organisation. Your personal brand is yours, it goes with you from organisation to organisation.

BIG IDEA 2

“It’s gotta be something you're passionate about, interested about and bring value to” (14:40)

Ian provides insights on starting a group. You have to be knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. People will follow someone who is an expert in the field that is relevant to the subject. You don’t start a group where there is no context as being a thought leader in that space, but you can become a thought leader by creating a group on a subject that you are passionate about, and creating the content that goes with it. People will join for the content, and the community will grow...

BIG IDEA 1

“Shared experiences create deep and everlasting bonds” (19:26)

Whilst many deep and everlasting friendships are created at the residential programs, the Quest for Life Foundation also uses Facebook to interact and connect with members of their community. This involves regular posts and live events that allow people to be involved and grow within the community. The use of Facebook allows for members to tune in to live mini workshops with the facilitators or the weekly meditation group with Petrea. 

BIG IDEA 2

“Technology impacts human connection in a positive way” (24:10)

Quest are always looking for new ways to interact with their community, even if it is to have a little chat every now and again or to be there a critical moment in someone’s life. Through the use of technology, past participants and those who can’t attend programs, can keep engaged, build and maintain a strong relationship with each other and the origanisation.

BIG IDEA 3

“What matters is your intention, be very clear about what your intention is and then show up” (33:47)

Petrea says when building a community on social media, it is essential to be clear your intentions and if you make a commitment, follow through. You need to have good vibration. If you pour yourself into that, you're pouring yourself into that energy field and it will begin to resonate for those that need it. Another key piece of advice Petrea gives is to establish good time management. Make sure you divide your time well, turn up 100% and give it your focus and attention rather than being half-hearted about anything.

He founded the award-winning youth organisation Vibewire, opened the first co-working space in Australia and was Director of the Australian Changemakers Festival.

BIG IDEA 1

“Your voice matters, and people are willing to listen” (12:12)

Tom shares that during his time in the United States, how empowering the trip was. The primary lesson he took from it was learning that his voice mattered because there were people willing to listen. It was this core value that motivates him still to this day and something he strives to share with everyone. His hope is to develop and pass on skills, opportunities, platforms and forums where people can listen and be willing to engage with each other.

BIG IDEA 2

“The five Cs formula” (32:51)

Tom explains that clarity, credibility, communities, channels, and courage are the five Cs formula that leads to success. Clarity and credibility are the core attributes, having a clear message or vison and making sure people know that you are capable for delivering your plans. Communities and channels; surrounding yourself with the right partners and people, this will allow you to identify and grow a community around your business. Finally, courage to get out there and do the work required. The use of all 5 of these elements are needed for success.

BIG IDEA 3

“Start sharing your ideas!” (58:51)

Tom thinks the act of sharing what you are working on really helps you get better at how you explain and express it.  It is by doing this you will begin to find people that will also care deeply about the same ideas, and you will slowly begin to build a community. It is also important to identify where you target audience gathers, what communities are they apart of and what podcasts do they listen to. By joining and participating in these communities, when the time comes to launch your product or service, you will have a group of people who at least be willing to listen or be ready to listen.

In this episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and Social Mediology founder Kate vanderVoort chats with Brandon C White who is an entrepreneur and author and is the Founder and CEO of the number-one social networking and e-commerce site for sport fisherman on the internet.

About Brandon

Brandon C. White is an entrepreneur with two exists (so far), angel investor, former venture capitalist, and worked in Marketing at a $200b internet company (AOL). Brandon started his professional career in technology as a pioneer on the Internet in 1996 as the Founder/CEO of Worldwide Angler, Inc. Worldwide Angler was recognized the number-one social networking and e-commerce site for sport fisherman on the internet.

Brandon bought the company back from the investors and led it to a successful exit to a large media company. He’s the editor of Build a Business Success Secrets print newsletter and host of accompanying podcast.

Both are inner playbooks on how to master your mind, care for your body and build a successful business. The formula to make you smarter, happier and richer.

Brandon lives in Half Moon Bay, CA and enjoys road biking, surfing, fly fishing and going fast.

BIG IDEA 1

“People, product, market, and financing.” (11:36)

Brandon describes his chance meeting with the first investor for his newly created business. He tells us how stressed he was and how daunting the idea of showing off his, at the time, very small company. The key components of their business plan were discussed, people, product, market, and financing. After this discussion and a bit of fishing, Brandon received a cheque for $50,000 which was how he started the online fishing and community site which would later go on to raise millions of dollars.

BIG IDEA 2

“You can't outsource human connections” (24:37)

Brandon believes there are some things that you just cannot delegate. Nothing has changed from the early days, it is just that we have better technology, that is easier and faster. However, if you want to build a community, you really must have those personal connections.

BIG IDEA 3

“Don't own the people, own the topic” (42:22)

He explained that if you do not genuinely like your business and you are simply doing it to monetize it, that is not a very good recipe for success. It is better to own a small market than it is to be just one in a huge market. Build upon the community in a smaller market rather than trying to stretch yourself too thin and lose the core elements of your community.

BIG IDEA 1

“The most powerful technology on the planet is an optimized human nervous system!” (17:13)

Paul explains the intersection of conscious business, social impact, and awareness practices. He believes these are the three most important or most powerful technologies or forces for good on the planet right now. Conscious business and people who are paying attention to positive impact by promoting a helpful community, will be the most powerful technology in the industry.

BIG IDEA 2

“A way to build community is by looking where people are gathering” (33:26)

He describes how to build a community and how there are so many strategies to do so. He goes in depth on how you can use hashtags to research where your target audience is already gathering. Other options like exploring podcasts, find the right guest strategy, go pitch them an interesting topic to an established community.

BIG IDEA 3

“What are we doing this for?” (46:24)

Kate vanderVoort

In this episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and Social Mediology founder Kate vanderVoort chats with Warren Carlyle, founder and CEO of OctoNation, the world’s largest octopus fan club, and not for profit organization that inspires conservation of the ocean by teaching the world about octopuses. He is also the co-founder of the Community Leaders Association and is a community building strategist who works with purpose driven brands and influencers to build highly engaged online communities.

About Warren

Warren and his communities have been featured and gotten the attention of celebrities and global organizations such as Michael B. Jordan, Ellen DeGeneres, Joe Rogan, Facebook HQ, and more. Warren believes online communities are the lifeblood of brand, a brand relevancy in today's crowded digital marketplace.

He likes seeing people able to live their dreams, live their passion, create communities around the things that they love. When he sees people winning at the thing that they are truly passionate about, it makes him think that the world becomes a better place as they are talking and acting on something that lights them up.

After the terrible news of his mother passing away, Warren decided to find an internship in New York, to start a new life and career. It was this move that taught him the advantages of social media and the power of communities. After working for a several months with a celebrity fashion photographer, he decided to create the largest octopus fan club, because it was an interest of his that he was truly passionate about.

BIG IDEA 1

“Inspires kids and adults to look towards the ocean as something that deserves to be protected.” (11:59)

Since Warren was a kid, he been obsessed with octopuses and wanted to learn more about them. After some research he found that octopuses were highly misrepresented, mischaracterized and demonized within the literature. He thought nobody has thought to story tell about how magnificent these ancient creatures are. So, he decided to create OctoNation, a community of people who can follow their love for octopuses. One of their campaigns is called “Interview with an Octopus”, where they go to aquariums all over the world and interview the octopus keeper, asking them questions on Facebook Live or Instagram live. Warren expresses how it is a great way to connect with somebody with a vast amount of knowledge on the topic. 

BIG IDEA 2

“Not everybody belongs in your community.” (30:45)

The seven C’s of building a fanatical community are: clarify, core value, content, collaboration, connection, conversation and consistency. When you are clear on those core values, it contributes to the moderation job and people will self-select and opt out if the community is not the right place for them. Warren strives to have a zero-tolerance policy for those that misuse or abuse social media. For community creators and managers there's so much more education now around trolling and abuse on social media. We also need to understand and accept that not everybody is a fit for your community. The content you create is how you are deserving of your community's attention on a daily basis. Your content needs to show evidence of your core values.

BIG IDEA 3

“When I reach out to a brand, I really want to foster a relationship at the highest level!” (38:58)

Warren explains that the biggest issue that most community leaders face, or aspiring community leaders is confidence. The more confidence and belief in yourself as a community leader, the more you can express the core values of your mission or vision. By connecting with the highest levels within the industry you begin to provide the highest value to your community, making it bigger than yourself and motivating those...

In this episode of the Social Lights Podcast, podcast host and Social Mediology founder Kate vanderVoort chats with David Trotter. David is a business growth consultant, and creator of Rise Up Creatives, who's dedicated to helping new business owners rise above their biggest barriers to reach their greatest goals.

About David

David is the host of the Inspiration Rising podcast with over 190 episodes, featuring female entrepreneurs and leaders sharing their experience and wisdom. His latest book is entitled Empower to Rise: The Secret to Embracing Your True Identity Uncovering Your Superpowers and Bringing Your Inspiration to the World. Previously, David was a pastor starting fast-growing churches for over 10 years, owned a six-figure marketing boutique for 12 years, produced and directed four award-winning feature films on social justice issues and has written a dozen books. David and his wife, Laura have been married for over 26 years and they live in Southern California with their two almost grown kids who are both in college.

He mentions that in this moment of his life he wants to be working with people, especially female entrepreneurs, helping them start and grow their businesses. He loves helping people that have their own vision or dream, either a product or service they want to offer. His role is often to help these business owners clarify their vision with a step-by-step approach, allowing them to achieve their goals and develop their community.

BIG IDEA 1

“Help people save time and stand out!” (15:28)

David’s goal is to help people save time and stand out. Business owners want to bring their message to the world, whether it's a product or a service or something that they are wanting to offer. As a business coach, he helps his clients find clarity in their idea, their offer and their ideal customer and then translating that into content that can be shared and will capture people’s attention (visual & text). He notices that many of his clients are women who didn’t know how to build a social media presence because it felt unusual or awkward. With the goal to save time and stand out, his company created a monthly membership that allowed entrepreneurs to have social media tools in place that they can either use or be inspired by.

BIG IDEA 2

“Peace, play, serve and flow” (30:45)

David explains that every day he tells himself four words, Peace, Play, Serve and Flow. When you repeat those four words every day you will see the difference in your life. He describes to us that he wants to be in peace, where he doesn’t want to take on a client, a contract or work in an environment that does not cultivate peace. He needs to learn to play, be more playful and enjoy the little things in life, he wants to serve people and in kind, it will be returned to you. Finally, if you achieve peace, play, and serve you will be in the flow of life and by investing others around you, you will achieve a flow of financial resources as well.

BIG IDEA 3

“You can do it!” (38:58)

He wants to share his life message that is, you can do it! If you have a dream, a desire, or there is something inside of you that wants to start a business or something, we have all the tools we need right in front of us. It is important to take it to step by step, it will be a long process and difficult sometimes, but you need to keep that mentality that you can do things, and you will start seeing the results.
