Jeff Goins has made his living with the support of a tribe. The loyal following to his popular blog led to a successful self published book, You Are a Writer.
Now, Jeff is making a living as a writer. His success has come from building a tribe. Jeff even teaches other writers how to build a tribe in his course Tribe Writers.
Jeff Goins joins the Park Leaders Show to discuss how a park can use the tribe concept to build a following of supporters. The idea of a tribe is essential a conversational way of marketing. It allows supporters of your park to be a part of the park, even when they are not at the park.
Jeff has an unexpected connection to parks. As an 18-year-old he had a summer job at a park in Illinois. He shares about his experience working in a park and the lessons he learned that has stuck with him to this day. Through his stories, he highlights how you can turn a simple task like “get me a spade” into a learning opportunity.

I have been listening to Jeff’s podcasts for 7 months. Often the information and examples are the same, but because I have changed I glean something new everytime. It is a comfort to me that I don’t have to know everything now. I will figure it out. It is encouraging to reflect at how far I have come in 7 months. Thanks for being transparent.
Thank you for listening Jayna. I have learned a lot from Jeff over the past couple of years. Like you, I have learned it is all a process, and you don’t need to know everything now. In this episode I particularly like his story about the spade.
