Building a Contagious Community | with Scott Smith

"I think that's the difference with a contagious community. Like, I want to bring other people that I like into this community." - Scott Smith Scott Smith, President of True Network Advisors, joins the show for a third time for this podcast filmed at his boathouse in Guntersville, Alabama. Scott and I talked about contagious communities, which Scott defines as a community that people want to share with other people in their life. We also talked about Scott’s list of paradoxes, why he calls his wife “Miss Hot Dog”, creating genuine relationships in life and business, and why authentic expression is so important to both of us. This is the longest podcast we’ve ever released, but also one of the most engaging, and Scott is always a fascinating person to talk to. Tune in this week to Self-Funded with Spencer to learn about what it takes to create a contagious community!
