Hey Podcast Community - this is a very special conversation I had with the amazing Monica Adams. One of my favorite pieces from this episode was when we discussed how we can bring people together through their fears. I find this topic so fascinating because if we really think about it, most of us have had moments where we were afraid to take a step in a new direction. What if we came together, shared are TRUTHs, and see what happens? Thank you for listening! If you found an ounce of value from this conversation with Monica Adams, please leave us a review. It really helps out the podcast and helps more amazing episodes like this get heard by more people. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Travis sits down with traveler, social media strategist and community builder Nicolette Orlemans. Intro: Background + community origin story Topic 1: What was it like growing up? How did you get started? I grew up in a bilingual household in the Netherlands with a Polish mom and a Dutch dad. My parents inspired wanderlust in me as a child, as we traveled often (they started traveling with me when I was a baby). In 2000, we moved to the US for my dad’s work, and started expat life. Travel has always been something I feel grateful to be able to do, and I really enjoy connecting with others who travel. It’s endlessly fascinating to me that, as people, we go to similar destinations, but have vastly different, unique experiences. That’s the beauty of travel and exploring local culture in our own way. I love being able to talk to others about their travels and experiences. Topic 2: Let’s talk about what community means to you. To me, community means a place where people can talk freely. It’s a space where people share stories, become inspired, feel supported, share advice, ask questions, and rely on each other’s feedback. I don’t think community has to be a homogenous thing–meaning that people can have differences in opinion and perspectives–but it should be a place where people feel comfortable talking to each other no matter the differences. Topic 3: Let’s talk about the different tribes that you support. Who are the members? Why does this circle exist and what is your mission? How do you work together to achieve your mission? I especially love connecting with travelers, no matter how often they travel. Travelers tend to be very open-minded, and share interesting perspectives on not just the destinations they visit, but also on how they personally grow from visiting different places and learning from diverse cultures. In 2014, I started participating more in Twitter chats, online real-time conversations happening over a unified hashtag at set dates/times. Twitter chats allow people to connect with others, and share their perspectives. As people respond with the associated hashtag, others can connect with them and ask questions or start conversations. On November 13, 2014, I launched my very own travel Twitter chat focused on the intersection of culture and travel. I aspired to create conversations among people about cultural immersion, and what helps people get to know local culture on a deeper level. Today, the chat is still happening every Thursday and connecting travelers worldwide in shared conversations. Since the launch of the chat, I’ve expanded into a community website, a Facebook group, and hosted in-person meetups to bring travelers together. In October 2018, I launched a Kickstarter for Travel Banter, a conversation starter card game inspired by the online conversations my community has had over the years. It’s the “real life” version of the Twitter chats and helps bring people in a fun, meaningful way offline to have conversations around culture and travel. Topic 4: What are a few lessons you’ve learned from your journey in the online community space? As technology changes, we should embrace that. Technology is constantly evolving and new platforms pop up, though people crave real conversations no matter the platform. Behind every social media profile is a real person. What excites this person? What stories does this person have to share? How do we connect to each other on a deeper level? I think it’s important to inspire storytelling both online and offline. We can’t forget that storytelling is at the core of everything we do. We connect with people over shared experiences, and by learning from each other. We hear stories that we can relate to, and we feel inspired to share our own stories. Topic 5: What community if any do you look up to, and why? There are a few in the travel space that I really admire. Travel MassiveWanderfulImpact Travel Alliance Topic 6: Talk to us about a recent trend...

Host Travis King of the Community Builder Podcast talks with Cecil Phillip, Senior Cloud Advocate at Microsoft. They discuss the misconceptions we have about social media followers, ways to get over your fears of connecting, the importance of meeting people offline in real life, how to find your people, overcoming loneliness and more. Episode Highlights: ● How did Cecil start joining or becoming a part of communities? ● What tactics can people use to join communities? ● What should you do if you are scared to join communities? ● People still feel nervous to talk in front of others, even when they are experienced in their field. ● How can you overcome loneliness? ● What is the downside of chasing social media followers? ● The current drug of the world is attention. ● Cecil discusses social media and online etiquette. ● What advice does Cecil have for joining a community or starting a community? 3 Key Points: 1. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable. 2. Find your offline/online balance by meeting up with people in real life. 3. How many of your social media friends can you actually call and talk to? Tweetable Quotes: ● “Once you start to be around similar people, obviously conversations are going to start. People are going to start talking to you. You are going to start talking to people, particularly if you are the speaker.” – Cecil Phillip ● (Sharing knowledge) “What is it worth if nobody else knows I have this gold?” – Cecil Phillip ● “Don’t stay in a place where people don’t make you feel valued.” – Cecil Phillip Resources Mentioned: ● Travis King: Linkedin ● communitybuildershow.com ● Cecil Phillip: Linkedin Twitter ● cecilphillip.com Hosted on Acast.
