New episode out! 🎉 This one’s extra special. Not just because @kylehagge is everyone’s favourite community builder. But also because he was my first ever guest when I started the podcast. ❤️ This time around we decided to do a “reflection episode” where Kyle takes us back to the time when he ran the community efforts at Morning Brew and shares his “magic sauce”. To prepare for this interview, I went through the public talks Kyle had given about community building and asked him follow up questions. Result? Getting the award for “best researched Kyle interview”!! 🏆 More importantly, I was able to learn: • how his team decided which new courses to pilot • why Kyle chose to add friction to the community experience with Circle but decided to stick with the ubiquitous Zoom • how his team created a party in the chat during a virtual event • why he believes it’s a good idea to engineer connections through automation • what Kyle thinks community creators should spend their nights thinking about If you’re also interested in finding the answers to these questions, or just listen to some fresh community building insights from Kyle, check out our interview. Available wherever you listen to podcasts. Links available on @BeginnerMaps
