Interview: The DIY Small Business Podcast
My Interview With Eli Trier on Building Community Around Your Business
This conversation with Eli Trier stayed with me for a long time and gave me a whole bunch of ideas that I have already implemented. I am honestly so grateful I met Eli and got this little glimpse behind the scenes of how she does things. It's magic! Here is what we talked about:
How to reach out to others as an introvert
Overcoming social anxiety and creating working conditions that truly work for us in a sustainable, regenerative way
The magic of creating community projects that go much deeper than your average telesummit or weekend gathering
Why bringing people together around a shared passion is so much more powerful than shouting random stuff from the rooftops
Redefining our ideas of success and "adulthood"
Rehumanising business relationships and investing in transparency, kindness and connection
