๐ŸŒˆ Can Community Solve Your Marketing and How Do You Do That Anyway? ๐ŸŒˆ


What does it take to build community in business?
How can community be built by a small entrepreneur?
I asked these and other challenging questions in my latest vodcast.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing author, educator, speaker,
and authentic thought-leader, Mark Schaefer about his new book,
โ€‹Belonging to the Brand, Why Community is the
Last Great Marketing Strategy
.

This edited clip is my favorite 2 minutes:

You can watch or listen to the whole conversation on YouTube,
โ€‹Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.


I look forward to your feedback and comments;
and if you want more like this, please like and follow, etc.
That really helps!

Gratefully yours!

I'm fascinated by creating images and videos using AI and realize that most people hardly know what's happening in this explosive new creativity arena. Just in the image generation realm, there are...

AI Arnie, my virtual intern, alter ego, synthetic self, has evolved. He's excited about helping me to be more consistent in generating valuable content for y'all. Conjured with MidJourney Arnie is also encouraging me to release my inner artist. While playing in the AI Salon (free virtual community), I used a minimal prompt and iterative process to conjure this new piece of AI generative art: Conjured with MidJourney Do you see more impatience or perseverance or something else in her...

Here's what it looks like to PLAY creatively with AI. As imperfect as it is, using AI, I generated this cartoon story in less than 15 minutes (no joke). If you embrace its jankiness, I think you'll agree that it successfully illustrates the power of my upcoming Exploratorium creative community. Yes? FYI, my creative collaborator on this cartoon was a new AI app, WebSim that leverages the power of Anthropic's Claude, the ChatGPT competitor discussed in last week's email. What have you created...
