Over the last few weeks, I have been visiting podcasts all across the internet, talking with entrepreneurs and creative people, just like you.

And this time, I paid a visit to Will Toms and the REC Philly community here in Philadelphia. 

REC - which stands for "resources for every creator" - is a pretty incredible community and resource center geared towards helping artists, musicians, and other creators turn their creative skills into real business opportunities.

Just last year, they opened an amazing facility for that community of creatives, sort of like a gym but with digital audio stations and recording studios instead of treadmills and weights.

I also admire their dedication to education, and making sure that their community knows how to make the most of having access to those incredibly powerful tools.

But most of all, I love the people. The staff, the leadership, and every community member I've met at REC is smart and creative, some of the best Philly has to offer.

So I was excited when the team invited me to one of their "creator sessions" to share some stories and lessons surrounding one of my personal favorite lessons in The Tiny MBA: Audience Building Building Trust at Scale.

The entire session is more than twice as long as what's here on our podcast, and includes parts of my personal business story. You can check that out on REC Philly's youtube channel.

But here on the feed, I jumped straight to the lessons. In fact, you'll hear me give details and context for ten of MY favorite lessons that I hand picked specifically for this audience of creators, and why I picked each one.

After sharing these lessons, I was joined on the virtual stage by REC Philly co-founder and my good friend Will Toms. Will is one of my favorite interviewers and moderators to watch work, so for me, being on the receiving end of his questions was a LOT of fun and for you, you're gonna get some new answers that you definitely haven't heard me talk about anywhere!

Some of my fav questions from Will and the audience include:

- The importance of listening as a business skill, and how you can practice it.
- Where I learned how to sell people back their time and confidence.
- And how much sharing is oversharing.

I love any chance to jam with the REC Philly crew, and I'm very excited to share this session with you.

So with that, I hope you enjoy this very special presentation from the REC Philly archives. Here we go!
