The Nick Bare Podcast 019: How Sam Parr Retired With Over $20 Million by Age 31
Audience Vs Community
- An audience is one-to-many while a community is many-to-many with active interaction.
- Communities grow even if the creator stops creating content, unlike audiences dependent on the creator.
Starting The Hustle Creatively
- Sam Parr started "The Hustle" as a daily email from his passion for creating and blogging.
- He viewed launching it as artistic, aiming to create movements rather than optimize spreadsheets.
