  • Educational

    I’m picky about my pods because a lot of people “teaching” out there, don’t really teach creators actually new stuff (if you’ve been in media for long enough) but found this show via LinkedIn and I’ve been actually writing stuff down! Kudos to the sound design guy, keeps the convo flowing nicely and the music is nice. I would like to see more women? Or maybe just the last few episodes I ran into lots of dudes. There are some brilliant women in the space.

  • Creator Science an authentic honest, look under the hood

    Jay, do an amazing job of matter-of-factly, communicating important and relevant topics to the creator community especially those of us who are “early career” in a unintimidating authentic and at times even a vulnerable way. There’s so much bravado in this creator Space, your voice is a refreshing change. Keep up the great work.

  • Fatherhood episode

    It was a banger. I’m a typical listen to podcast and try to implement but it felt good hearing from fathers who are going through similar changes in their lives.

#295: Community Building Trends for 2026 with Becky Pierson Davidson
Q: What about offline components in memberships?
Offline events, like grad weekends, are seen as critical for retention, providing high-value social experiences and networking that reinforce online engagement; pricing and logistics are carefully modeled to sustain them.
#295: Community Building Trends for 2026 with Becky Pierson Davidson
Q: What is the role of transformation versus activity in a membership?

Q: How do you define community in the context of building a business?
Becky defines community as a network of peer-to-peer connections and conversations that go beyond one-to-many broadcasting, treating it as a product that people actively nurture and engage with rather than just a marketing channel.
