Community engagement isn't just the season-one pilot - it's a full, 10-season story arc. 📺 It's about understanding the different types of members in your online community so you can engage the full "cast of characters" through every stage of their participation. Community personas help you do that! Categorizing community users equips you to "PIVOT!" and personalize, strategizing around each persona's unique motivations, behaviors, and expectations. Using characters from the TV show "F·R·I·E·N·D·S," Erin York and Kristen Parody will explore how you can use community personas to build a more robust community strategy during their Super Forum 2024 Session, C·O·M·M·U·N·I·T·Y, on April 11. 🦆🐔 Could we BE any more excited for their session and this conference? If you're thinking "Oh. My. GAWD. I can't wait," check out Erin's recent blog post 👇 which shares a sneak peek at the session and explains the three C’s of community users - Consumers, Contributors, and Creators - and tips for getting all your community personas more involved. #hlsuperforum #community #personas

This is why the work we’re doing with Glow is so meaningful, impactful, and urgent. This is a clip from an interview Lex Fridman with Chamath Palihapitiya (CEO at Social Capital). It’s a couple of years old… but he was right. I take it a step further… today, creators are no longer just entertainers or influencers—they’re leaders shaping the very fabric of our society. They influence not only what we think and buy but also how we act and even vote. We’ve seen long-form social media content play a pivotal role in recent elections, proving the power of creators to shape society and our values. At Glow, we believe this influence extends far beyond consumerism or thought leadership. We’re pioneering a movement where creators harness their influence to drive a wave of philanthropy and impact. This isn’t just about capital raising—it’s about communities coming together to create meaningful change. Creators are rallying their fans to give collectively, pooling resources, and deploying them toward causes that matter. It’s philanthropy, redefined. I believe the future isn’t just about creators building billion-dollar empires—it’s about them creating billion-dollar impacts. They have the power to reshape how we approach generosity and community-driven change, and the time to act is now. Glow is at the forefront of this revolution, and I couldn’t be more excited. To all the impact investors: If you’re looking for an opportunity to invest in something transformative, that has triple-bottom line impact at a massive scale. Let’s connect. You won’t want to miss this.

It was a pleasure to talk to the young creatives who are part of ‘Future Fridays’ — a programme powered by Youth Beyond Borders (YBB) and EssenceMediacom — about our work at GAUCHOWORLD. Specifically speaking about bringing your ‘authentic’ self to professional spaces, and ‘selling’ your story and ideas, it quickly became an open discussion about what ‘authenticity’ means in a business landscape. I tried to summarise in three sentences how we’ve managed to maintain ‘authenticity’ as we have grown (although it’s not something we ever really have to think about, just something we do): Baby steps turn into miles: Rather than obsessing over the ‘end goal’, we’ve always focused on what we can do today, this week, this month, this year in that order. We grew a lot during the pandemic where we’d have simple calls and we’d discuss what we were truly interested in, then we’d write about it. We’ve had some incredible features grace the pages of our magazine, and worked with some of our favourite brands, but that has been a consequence of taking things day by day, little by little, as those fragments are what make the big shiny diamond. You can never ask why too many times: I have a nephew who’s at the age where whatever you say to him he’ll ask you ‘why?’. Often, I realise that when adults brush aside that question after the third or fourth time, it’s not because they don’t want to respond, it’s often because they’re unsure of the answer. Bringing it back to our universe, we ask ourselves ‘why’ countless times over because it means we completely and utterly understand everything we do, and are able to confidently stand behind it, because if we realise we don’t after asking ourselves why, then we adjust, accepting that there’s always a better way things can be done. Whether it’s a line of copy, or a performer at an event, we want everything to have a reason for its existence within the Gauchoworld ecosystem, and simply asking ‘why’ goes a long way in making sure that happens. Do the work for love, THEN you’ll get to do it for money: As much as we love what we do, in order to scale, we have to think about how we’re able to do the thing whilst paying the bills. Similar to my first point about baby steps, we never entered the world of print thinking about how much money we could make (I’m sure you believe me when I say that). For me personally, there’s nothing more satisfying than making a story you really believe in tangible. And everything we do springs from that thought, even if it exists on the World Wide Web. We are born storytellers, so this is why for many years we worked hard at building Gauchoworld without any silent partner or angel investor (we still don’t have one!). The print magazine is still a wonderful vehicle for us where we get to be our own client and rather than delivering work for brands, we get to do everything exactly the way we love to, and as a result, we’ve managed to get buy-in from a range of brands. V long read, sorry!
