Over the past few months, I’ve been sharing excerpts from my new book, Creator to Community Builder: Find Calm While Building an Online Community.
I’m thankful for the feedback thus far about the book and the Community Strategy Podcast. Since season two has concluded, I’ll begin sharing podcast episodes from podcasts I’m guesting on to get the word out about the book.

As someone who’s been a host and a guest, I find value in the PodPros Community, where I can share my work with other podcast hosts and their listeners. I hope you enjoy these episodes! Coming up on the blog will be my vision for the coming year, and I may take a break from posting. Time will tell. Thank you for reading and sharing this work!
