What does it take to build a thriving community that lasts for more than a decade?
In this episode, I sit down with my friend and mentor, Kami Huyse, co-founder of Social Media Breakfast Houston and CEO of Zoetica Media, to find out.
We talk about:
- The grassroots origins of SMBHOU (and its first 30 attendees on a coffee shop patio)
- How the format evolved to interviews, livestreams, and virtual “Coffee” sessions during COVID
- Launching Smart Social Secrets and Smart Social Mastery to support small business owners
- The philosophy of building community through collaboration, not competition
- What persistence and consistency look like over 16 years — and why they matter
Whether you’re leading a business, a nonprofit, or just trying to grow your network, Kami’s wisdom about resilience and community-building will inspire you.
