Community Building 101 with Bri Leever
Manage episode 487682139 series 2789163
Today we start with the news of Marc Maron retiring his podcast, and a possible shake up at the New Media Show (two shows with 16+ years). So who will fill their space you?
Bri Leever is a community building strategist at Ember Consulting and host of the show "Dear Bri." I saw her present at a webinar put on by Hearbeat (my favorite community tool) and immediately joined her community (which lead to me asking her on the show).

Takeaways:
- Marc Maron is hanging up his podcasting hat after 16 years, and that's a big deal.
- Having both free and paid communities can actually mess up your growth, who knew?
- If you want a thriving community, you gotta focus on what people actually want, duh!
- Starting a podcast with a small team is totally doable; you don't need a squad of 20.
- Don't be surprised if your free community outshines your paid one; it happens more than you'd think.
- People love talking about themselves, so just ask them questions and you'll be golden.
