Creating a Culture Not Just a Community with Joe Glover

Creating a culture is the dream of any small business.

But how do you achieve it?

So many business owners are choosing to create communities these days, the consistent income has massive appeal. But it has to be more than a community to really change people’s lives. You need a culture.

My guest in this episode, Joe Glover, has created one of the loveliest cultures I know in The Marketing Meetup. With an emphasis on joy, kindness and inclusivity, it was founded to provide a supportive space for marketers, particularly introverts.

Joe shares what it takes to create culture and to grow a global community that that supports each other. We also explore the audacity required to pursue big opportunities, and the importance of finding purpose beyond business.

Joe leads with kindness and love and that shines through in everything he shares here.

“I get so much joy from seeing other people being joyful” – Joe

Not everyone starts a business to become the next Steven Bartlett or Gary Vee. Millions of us start our businesses to escape the 9-5 ties to the office, toxic bosses, threat of redundancy, and chasing pay rises. We want freedom, control of our own time, and to be able to choose who we work with, where we work from, and how much we work. But what’s it really like to start and run a small business? Lea Turner, Founder of The HoLT business community, digs deep with real small business owners from a variety of sectors, into why they chose to start their business, the surprises, challenges, and tough lessons they’ve learned along the way, without the glossy social media filter, to give real insight into the journeys they’ve been on to create a business and a life on their terms.
