" if you hang around guys that play with video all day, you're probably gonna end up playing with video" - Dave Jackson

The power of unity and how it can transform your podcasting journey is amazing. I looked into the importance of having a like-minded community, where everyone shares the same goals and insights. Trust me, it makes all the difference! 

I know we want to be liked by everyone, but that's not realistic. It's also OK not to be liked by everyone. I have a name for those people, "Not my target audience." 

I recently bought a Mac mini, and that means I can now use Ecamm Live. When I first started using it, I felt like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz going from black and white to color. I've used Streamyard for years, and it's a good product. If I only had a PC I would still be using it. 

I like options, and Ecamm Live gives you those. As an educator, typically, options come at the expense of a learning curve, and I was surprised by how intuitive this software it. But I'm not really here to talk about the software. I want to talk about difficult choices and the Ecamm Community.

I'm sure over the years, Ecamm has had MILLIONS of PC users begging them to make a version of their PC, and yet they haven't. While this surely costs them some income, it also enables them to do the following:

• Develop for ONE platform
• Make your software rock solid because you only deal with one platform.
• You can integrate easier because everyone's computer is much more similar.

So when you start building a community, you need to figure out who will be in your community, but the more difficult but necessary thing you need to do is figure out who will NOT be in your community. This will upset some people, and that is OK. They can go build their own community. 

Double down on the people who want your content. Serve those who are already consuming your content.
