Have you ever felt like you're shouting into the void online, hoping for more than a like or a DM? You're not alone—and you're not doing it wrong. You're just building it backwards.
In this episode, I sat down with my real-life brunch bestie, Laylee Emadi—a conference host, coach, and the founder of The Creative Educator Conference—to talk all things community-led business. Laylee is my go-to example for what it looks like to serve from the heart while still growing a sustainable brand.
Here’s what we dig into:
- Why true community isn't about audience size—and how to tell the difference
- Common myths about community-led business (and what actually works)
- How community connection translates into real revenue and recurring sales
