There is a big difference between building an audience that’s watching you and building a community that’s engaging with you. So how do we build strong, engaged communities that connect people rather than simply entertaining them?This week, I’m joined by Kim Johnson, head of community at Geneva, a New York based messaging app. Geneva helps creators, brands and leaders build communities from the ground up. So in this episode we dive deep into all things connection, conversation, and community.We Also Talk About…Building organic community that is engaged and passionate about you and your workThe changing landscape of the content creation and audience interactionHow people are getting good at sniffing out inauthenticityHaving your community build content with youThe imperative value of mutual exchangeI am also very excited to announce that we have launched a brand new Balanced Black Girl community on Geneva!
