253: Digging deeper into community with Mark Masters (a recap of the Mark Schaefer interview)

CRANK THE 3RD: Exploring the entrepreneurial + creative side of life post 50

In this episode, I'm joined by a semi-regular guest of the show - Mark Masters, fromYou Are The Media - to recap last weeks episode in which I spoke to leading marketing blogger, Mark Schaefer, about his new book, 'Belonging to the Brand'.

[ Check out episode 252: The power of community with best-selling author, Mark Schaefer ]

Mark (Masters) happens to feature in Mark Schaefer's book with his "supportive marketing learning community" You Are The Media (YATM), based on the south coast of England (but operating virtually, globally).

Under the YATM banner, Mark produces a long-running email newsletter, and runs social events, conferences and training days; he recently extended the community on to the Circle platform, giving it an interactive online hub of its own.

Mark also operates a consulting business - called We Are The Media - in tandem with YATM.

This is a fun and informative chat. While Mark and I refer often to Mark Schaefer's book (and the interview I did with him), we also take the topic of 'community' and run wild with it!

I hope you enjoy the convo!
