We've learned over the years that being a part of a community of like-minded people is one of the most valuable experiences that you can have as an entrepreneur.
This was our core motivation for forming The Dynamite Circle, our own online community of location-independent entrepreneurs, back in 2011.
We originally built that community on a platform called Ning, largely because it was the best option on the market at the time, and it served us well for many years.
Gina Bianchini is the former CEO of Ning.
She recently decided to leave that company to create Mighty Networks, a sophisticated platform aimed at helping creators build their own online communities.
We've invited Gina on to the podcast today to talk about the challenges of building and running online communities in 2021, how communities on the internet have evolved over the past decade, how to grow an 8-figure remote business, and more.
