When I started my training brand (The Cloud Coach) I wanted to share my knowledge with the world through video training. What I've actually come to understand is I have a deeper desire: I want a community of people I can have a pleasant, on-point discourse with. I believe others want this too. To combat my desire for this I'm developing two things: a Discord community for all but with a private section for paying customers. I believe when people pay for access to a community that expects a certain behavour from them they run with it. Secondly I'm also developing a localised Meetup called Brisbane CloudOps. I want to enable physical meetings and discussions too. I think the answer, to be honest, is smaller, niche, private communities and not vast open arenas.
