Comprehensive and modern guide to community strategy
David does a great job of covering how to build a brand-led community from all the important and relevant angles. I have a decent amount of experience in community building, but David helped me to identify blind spots I might have in my thinking about it.

Founders listen to this book 3xs
This book helped me understand the importance of building community and the framework on how to start it, maintain it and scale it. It’s practical and quite enjoyable. I gave it to my marketing department and we’re reading it together. I like having the paper copy too because he offers frameworks and lessons. It’s a must read/listen to in 2022 if you want to crush it in 2023
