Welcome to a bonus episode of Creator Science. I was recently interviewed on the Niche Pursuits podcast hosted by Jared Bauman. He wanted to get into the nitty-gritty about how we built The Lab, our membership community, and how that 200-member community became a $400,000+ property in the business.
In this episode, they asked great questions and I was able to get really specific. So, if you're considering a community or membership, this will certainly help you think about how to design it and build something that becomes a great little engine for your business, as it has for mine.
