Is your community stuck on shuffle? You might be delivering all the right content, but if the rhythm is off, engagement falls flat. In this episode of Community at Heart, I share a fresh take on community design inspired by… a disastrous 5:30 AM workout playlist.
🎶 Enter: The Playlist Principle — a simple framework to help you sync your community rhythms with the natural flow of your members’ lives.
You’ll learn:
▸ How to use daily, weekly, and monthly rhythms to increase engagement
▸ What most community builders get wrong about consistency
▸ Why more programming = less participation
▸ The secret to creating momentum without burnout (spoiler: fewer Zoom calls, more alignment)
Whether you're a course creator, membership leader, or summit host—this episode will help you build better beats so your community feels more like a vibe and less like a chore.
👟 BONUS: Learn how to run your own rhythm audit to fine-tune your programming without overwhelming yourself or your members.
