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.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
