In this episode, I’m joined by community and product expert Becky Davidson, whose career spans UX design, startup innovation, and building thriving online spaces for both customers and teams. We dive into what makes a community "work" inside a company or brand, how to avoid the most common mistakes, and why community isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a critical strategy for retention, engagement, and long-term success.
