Still


I still can't believe this!

I recently had the honor of being interviewed by Pat Flynn on the Smart Passive Income podcast, and the episode is finally live.

Pat was one of the very first podcasters I ever listened to. Back when I was still learning, experimenting, and trying to figure things out, his show was one of the voices I kept coming back to.

But what meant even more than the opportunity itself was the conversation we got to have.

Yes, we talked about my journey and building PowWows.com since 1996.

But the heart of the episode was something bigger: community.

Not audience-building. Not chasing metrics. Building something that actually matters to people.

That's been the defining lesson of my work over the years.

The real value was never in follower counts or page views. It's in the connections you create. It's in giving people a place to belong. It's in showing up consistently enough that people begin to trust you, and eventually become part of something greater than themselves.

That's true whether you're building a website, a newsletter, a business, or a personal brand.

Community isn't a side benefit.

It's the foundation everything else is built on.

I'm deeply grateful to Pat and his team for the chance to share that message with their audience.

If you give it a listen, hit reply and tell me — what part resonated with you most? I'd genuinely love to know.

Thanks,

I want to tell you something I stumbled across this week that honestly kind of embarrassed me. I've been in the digital space for 30 years. I've built businesses online. I've helped other people build businesses online. And yet — I had absolutely no idea that Facebook had this feature. Neither did anyone I talked to this week. Not the entrepreneurs. Not the side hustlers. Not the people who live in Facebook groups. Nobody. Here it is: for every Facebook group you're a member of, you can...

This week, I'm giving myself a challenge. Kelli is out of town, and instead of using that as an excuse to slow down, I decided to use it as a reason to push a little harder. So for the next several days, I'm going live every day. Part of it is simple: I want more reps. We're heading to Gathering of Nations soon, where we'll be using the new version of Ecamm for our live production. I wanted a real reason to dig into the latest features before we get there, not just read about them. But it's...
