The strategy of category design involves creating a new category instead of competing in an existing one.

My friend Simon Zatyrka has launched a food industry consulting business around the concept of being a "culinary mechanic".

Here at Be The Stage, we've been touting the concept of "building relationships at scale" for 3 years, but it's really hard to explain.

There is a great book about the landscape of community for business out there already, and there is a great book out there on how to be a community manager.

As community builders and networkers, we're great at opening doors, and driving attention to the problem they are solving, but if you're like me, an aversion to coming off "salesy" stops us from getting the results we want.

2 years ago, I registered for a Zoom event to meet one of my heroes, found a super valuable community of marketers that could really help my career (PEAK Community), and signed up.

So we took a closer look at what really made it work to see if there…
