Building Community as a Business Strategy

Allison Arruda Episode 128

Join me for a little solo episode today, where I’m diving into one of my absolute favourite topics: building community! However I’ll focus on community not only for connection, but as a powerful business strategy too! I’m pulling back the layers on how community can be the cornerstone of your success and sharing my own journey of cultivating spaces that inspire growth, connection and lasting impact. I’ve seen firsthand the magic that happens when people come together with a shared purpose, andI’ve witnessed the incredible energy and business growth that comes from genuine, heart-centered connections.

Listen in to hear more on:
• Building community with purpose and why community is not just a feel-good idea, but a smart business strategy.
• Making connections beyond the typical borders. (like our BENCHMARK Fitness App!)
• The story behind Women Inspiring Women and Girlfriends Walk, and why face-to-face connection matters.
• The ripple effect of community and small gatherings can transform into life-changing partnerships, real stories of impact and growth.
• Why community is your business superpower and how authentic relationships translate to trust, support, and business growth.

Whether it’s through events, online spaces, or simply reaching out and connecting with others, I hope this episode inspires you to think about how you can cultivate community in your own life! Plus, I would love to hear your thoughts on community! Are you building one? Craving one? Let me know over on Instagram at  @AlliArruda.
