Lex Roman: Building a Network on Purpose
3d ago · 39:55
Lex Roman is the publisher behind Revenue Rulebreaker and the creator of the Legends network, a paid professional network for solopreneurs, small business owners, and creative operators. Their work sits at the intersection of publishing, community, and the kind of intentional connection that becomes more valuable as the internet gets louder. Brian and Lex talk about how community organizing starts, why it often becomes real work, and what changes when that work becomes part of a business. Lex shares how their early service work, years in Los Angeles, and experience building professional spaces
Shane Anderson: Finding Home Wherever You May Roam
19d ago · 42:58
Shane Anderson is a musician, traveler, husband, father, and one half of Arbour Season. He and his family live part of the year on the road and part of the year on an off-grid property in Arkansas, where buses, vans, friends, musicians, and neighbors keep turning the land into a living experiment in community. Brian and Shane talk about skoolie life, building a gathering place from raw land, and what it means to find home when you are always moving. Shane shares the beauty and the cost of mobility: the freedom to explore, the joy of meeting people in coffee shops and open mics, and the growth
Nicole Stump: Made Locally and Made to Last
1mo ago · 45:45
Nicole Stump works in venture capital, but her path there started in rural West Virginia, meandered through shelter work and high school teaching, and eventually became a study in how people find enough safety, structure, and capacity to show up for each other. Brian and Nicole talk about what sustainable community actually looks like when people are busy and burned out from parenting, building companies, or simply trying to survive the season they are in. Nicole shares how nature, presence, birding, coffee walks, and low-friction local gatherings can help high-achieving people remember the "l
Michael Kauffman: Build Something That Lights You Up
2mo ago · 44:01
Michael Kauffman is the founder of Catskill Crew, a local newsletter that has grown into a media company, events engine, product lab, and community platform for the Catskills. For Michael, the newsletter is only the beginning: a way to support local businesses, create reasons for people to gather, and build something that feels deeply rooted in place. Brian and Michael talk about what it means to build a local media company that is community-led. Michael shares the winding path that brought him there, from startups and health tech to an existential reset on a fly-fishing trip that pushed him t
Tori Hanson: Real Connection Needs a Host
2mo ago · 42:19
Tori Hanson has built her work around a simple but urgent idea: people need help finding each other again. After moving from the UK to New York and leaving a media career that included the New York Times, she found herself without the founder community she needed, so she started hosting co-working days for other entrepreneurs. Eight people showed up to the first one, and that small gathering eventually grew into The Knowledge Shop and the foundation for her event networking platform, Meet in 10. Brian and Tori talk about how real community often starts through shared effort, whether that is wo
Amanda Black: Connecting Across Borders
3mo ago · 44:20
Amanda Black is the founder of the Solo Female Traveler Network, a global community of more than half a million women saying yes to themselves, their dreams, and the kind of friendships that can form when people step into new places together. Brian and Amanda talk about why travel creates such fast, deep connection: shared adventure, vulnerability, unfamiliar cultures, and the freedom to show up without the usual labels from back home. Amanda shares stories from her community, from women bonding around a table in Romania to an online network mobilizing across borders to help a traveler in dang
Ashley Engle: The Art of Showing Up
3mo ago · 40:55
Ashley Engle is a multimedia journalist in Orlando who sees firsthand what happens when people choose to step out from behind their screens and show up for each other. She's covered everything from food drives to grief support groups, and the common thread is always the same: real connection requires real courage. Brian and Ashley dig into why it's so easy to default to doom-scrolling when your couch is right there, and what it actually takes to build community — whether you've just moved to a new city, or you've lived there your whole life. Ashley shares how sitting alone at a coffee shop as
Kristin Kenzy: Redefining Prosperity as Connection
4mo ago · 41:25
What does it really mean live abundantly? Kristin Kenzy has spent her career at the intersection of business and human connection, and her answer might surprise you. For Kristin, the richest life isn't measured in bank accounts — it's measured in the depth of your relationships. Brian and Kristin dig into why so many high-achievers feel isolated at the top, and what it takes to build the kind of genuine connections that actually sustain you. They talk about the moments that shifted Kristin's perspective — from chasing traditional markers of success to investing in the people around her. The co
