Today's episode is all about finding community -- something that has made a huge difference to me as I navigate the wild world of small business.
I provide 5 strategies for finding community -- 4 of which you can start on TODAY (and save one for when in-person community is safe and possible again).
The five strategies we discuss in this episode are:

1. Facebook groups
2. Social media (specifically Instagram)
3. In-person events (when it's safe!)
4. Friends of friends
5. Courses, memberships or other paid programs with an online community element
