I'm recording this one from my hotel room in Melbourne with about 20 minutes before I have to catch a flight - so this is a bite-size one, but it's a good one.I just wrapped up a few days at the Social Summit and I'm leaving feeling so incredibly inspired that I had to hit record before I left. I had the privilege of hosting the final panel of the day alongside Monica Upton from Vestirsi, Lizzie Waley from Sunday Body, and former Aussie Bachelor Sam Wood - and the conversations that came out of that room are ones I'm still thinking about.So I wanted to share a few of the biggest takeaways with you before they left my brain.We got into the difference between having an audience and having a community, and why that distinction matters more than most people realise. We talked about what it actually looks like behind the scenes of building a business that's built to last. And I got really honest about something I said to my own team recently — that the only reason I know how to handle hard situations is because I've fallen on my face more times than I can count. You just don't always see it online.This episode is equal parts recap, pep talk, and reminder to be really proud of what you are building.In this episode I cover:The real difference between an audience and a community and why it mattersWhat every panelist at the Social Summit had in commonWhy the toughest moments in business are where the best entrepreneurs are madeWhy I'm doubling down on community this year across everything I doA reminder to slow down and celebrate how far you've comeHave a question?
