Love this process and how you laid it out! Lots of new community builders are scared to do the "live call" portion of the work, but it pays such dividends! Do you find that the people who were in a "cohort" together tend to form bonds in the community as well?

Absolutely love this, and how authentic you show up on this video. Thanks!

Love the way you use a whiteboard as a table and write as you present

Conversation starters. On a video platform. 15 minutes on why, vision, mission. Describe the starting content. How you can help form the group. Feedback needed. Call to do share one fact about yourself. Run a demo. Rinse and repeat.

Really valuable. Love your set up too with the two views. Is that a desk specifically designed for water soluble pens? I love the ideal of a series of smaller, manageable cohorts and the 15 minute simple deck. Love your authenticity - from one Brit to another

Fab video, Jono - it would be great to see some examples of successful decks for use in the first couple of steps. What should they contain?

Amazing information! I just found your channel and I’m here to stay! I’m about to launch my new community and this is the exact approach I wanted to take, I just wasn’t sure how. Now I know 😁

Sometimes, it seems starting a new community is a bit of a random thing: "I'll initiate a community, and if it's good, it will run by itself." Not so...
So thanks, Jono, for this more structured and goal-oriented approach! I'll be sure to try it out. :-)

Someone was asking me about starting a new community just the other day. Guess what? They're gonna get a link to this!

Loved this ! My biggest question with the early people in the community is what’s in it for them? Would you pay them to be there?

Appreciating your efforts with the video(s) Jono, thank you! : ).

_If_ one does the fun 'introduce yourself and share something semi-nuanced about yourself' thing within the call, would you add another CTA for post-call too?

Exactly what I needed to learn, Joni (ps searched u on LinkedIn and requested to connect). You mentioned the construct of the deck/intro. I have several that have worked in the past but not for community. Do you offer a deck outline? Thanks.

Thanks for this video, Jono! Wondering if there is a prerequisite research done prior to deciding on who to invite to the first and subsequent cohorts? And if so, how does one go about doing that?
