Engagement is the biggest sign of a healthy B2B Community, and a once you have it, it's easy to recruit new members, but driving the initial engagement is hard to do.

That's why I'm so into the cohort class as a community onboard, but challenges may just be even better!

Challenges provide a "quick win".  In business terms, that's known as "speed to value", and it's an underrated driver of customer success.

Chris Colt is an expert in challenges, and has me thinking they may be the perfect way to launch a community!

He talked about:

- Why building a challenge that will quickly engage your clients and make them stay
- How he uses challenges himself to grow his community
- What other problems challenges can solve for in your marketing, client acquisition, and customer success efforts
- and much more!

You'll be blown away by Chris's novel approach, and how successful it is!  Don't miss your chance to pick his brain on how challenges can work for you!

Here is what we discussed on this episode:

- How We Increased SalesThrough Better Offers Because I'm not a Salesperson
- How we've Grown our business without being too transactional
- How to build your brand in a new industry without expertise or capital by creating a win-win

2 years ago, I registered for a Zoom event to meet one of my heroes, found a super valuable community of marketers that could really help my career (PEAK Community), and signed up.

But I completely underestimated how well-designed this community was, and how much it would move the needle for me.

That's why we're doing a deep dive into the PEAK Community Playboook w/ co-founder, Judd Borakove, to explain the magic he helped create!

We're talked about:

- what the original business goals for the community were, and how they've evolved
- how they've been able to attract and engage the top 1% of the B2B marketing world
- what team and tools are needed to support a thriving community
- and much more!

This one has been a long time coming, and I CAN'T WAIT to share the genius and magic behind this community with you.  Don't miss your chance to pick Judd's brain!

The most successful business you hear about today have found a way to engage their market with content, and effectively transformed their marketing team into media companies.

But most smaller businesses and solo-preneurs feel like they don't have the resources to pull it off.

That's why seeing how CEO Coach, Jerry MacNamara, figured out how to do it on his own will completely redefine what you and your team think is possible to do with limited resources!

Jerry launched his internet talk show, Best Places To Lead, early in 2022.  He has gone live almost every week, forging powerful relationships with strategic partners, engaging a community around him, and repurposing the content to show up everywhere on social media. 

His go to market strategy has completely transformed, which he shared:

- why he felt he didn't just need a content machine, but a content-led community was strategy
- how he prioritizes live show production in a way that he can still get everything done in his small operation
- what he's learned that works to accelerate the growth of this community and business alongside his internet talk show
- and much more!

Jerry has scaled 3 different businesses from $10M to $100M as a CEO, is a champion for building happy teams, and is an absolute wealth of knowledge!

Don't miss your chance to pick his brain about what is working for him, personally right now!

You've seen content-led community work for people like Chris Walker and Pablo Gonzalez to establish a new category in their markets, but what if you're moving into a completely different market?

That's why we talked to a guy who moved from Brazil to Denmark and used the same playbook to:

- land a job in a new country
- establish a personal brand in a foreign language
- build a thriving business in a completely different ecosystem

Carlos's story will highlight the unparalleled opportunity that exists today when you combine networking, content creation, and purposeful community building.

It's rare when there is a strategy that works for an career seeker, solopreneur, AND someone building a company.  This is it.  Come hear about it from Carlos, himself!

That's why I'm inviting my favorite people I met from the Bad Ass Business Summit on the show to tell you their biggest takeaway, themselves!

In 2020, we launched a community as a service to our client that led to $40M in revenue in year 1, and it has only gotten better since.

But we were lucky to have a C-Suite that was willing to endure a 6 month period where it wasn't clear the community would yield business results.

So we took a closer look at what really made it work to see if there was anything we could do to speed up the positive feedback loop.

That's when we realized most of the value originated from 25 super-members, and it completely changed the way we approach a community launch.

 We realized that:

IF we can sprint to activate a nucleus of 15-25 members,

THEN the positive outcomes of community will produce business results faster,

SO your C-suite can't say "no"!

By the end of 2021, we figured out how... and to top it all off, it pays for itself on the front end!

It is simple strategy of creating a cohort based online class to bring your tribe on a journey together, unite them, and then continue to nurture them/add value by making them the heroes of the community.

In this session, you'll learn:

- what we did to launch the year 1 $40M community (this was just direct attribution!)
- how to incorporate an online cohort to accelerate the results of your community (and have the launch pay for itself!)
- what are the next steps once the 4 weeks are over and it's time to make sure you keep engagement up in your community (everyone's biggest issue!)

Time make community available to everyone!

Community has hit a tipping point in marketing circles, and it's rapidly getting thrown into company playbooks, but if Venture Capital doesn't buy in, it won't transcend corporate culture.

So let's find out what VC's think of it right now.

That's why I picked Randall Crowder's brain about the current status of community in the VC world.  Randall led over 40 angel investments and deployed over $60M across 14 companies as a venture capitalist.

Randall is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Phunware (NASDAQ: PHUN), a technology company in Austin, TX providing brands with a fully integrated cloud platform for mobile, including a blockchain-enabled data exchange and mobile loyalty ecosystem- another sector ripe with community potential

Randal and I will talked about:

- why VC money hasn't started flowing into community yet
- what influencer marketing means to the world of venture backed firms
- how blockchain will inevitably enable greater engagement with clientele and community
- and much more!

Randall is passionate about new venture creation and the innovative spirit that fuels entrepreneurs and advances technology.  Come get fueled by his unique insights!
