Community Building 101 with Bri Leever
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.Mentioned in this episode:
