Ever feel like no one in your life understands your business journey? You’re building something amazing, but you’re doing it completely alone?

Here’s the thing about entrepreneurship that no one warns you about: you can have all the right strategies, perfect systems, and even solid revenue—but if you don’t have people who truly get what you’re going through, isolation in business becomes this exhausting grind that limits your growth.

What if I told you the missing piece isn’t another course or framework, but finding your perfect community match with people who understand your world?

That’s exactly what our latest Brand Bite Podcast guest discovered, and it completely transformed her business.

Meet Taylor Smith: From Isolation in Business to Building Community for Entrepreneurs

Taylor Smith is a keynote speaker, 4X founder, and host of The Power Table Podcast who went from corporate professor to building multiple successful businesses. But here’s what’s incredible about her story—even with all that success, she felt like she was dating in a ghost town when it came to finding her tribe.

Sound familiar?

As a business strategist and community matchmaker, Taylor discovered that the real cost of isolation in business isn’t just loneliness—it’s actually limiting your growth. And finding her perfect community match became her most powerful business strategy and the foundation for providing support for business owners everywhere.

The Real Cost of Isolation in Business

Here’s what Taylor discovered: there’s an identity shift that happens when you become an entrepreneur that no one warns you about. You go from having a clear professional identity to suddenly asking yourself, “Who am I now?”

When you’re in corporate, identity feels easy. But when you start building a business, especially online, you’re not just changing what you do—you’re changing who you are. And without finding your type of entrepreneur to connect with, you end up struggling to find your network and feeling completely lost.

The problem isn’t that you need more business strategies. It’s that you’re trying to navigate this massive identity shift without the right community chemistry.

3 Game-Changing Insights You’ll Get From This Episode

1. The 4 Community Building Archetypes (Which One Are You?)

Taylor breaks down four natural ways to build community for entrepreneurs, and one of them is totally your jam. This isn’t about forcing yourself into networking strategies that feel awkward—it’s about finding your type when it comes to community building:

  • The Connector: You love introducing people to each other
  • The Recommender: You’re always sharing amazing resources and tools
  • The Cheerleader: You’re the hype person celebrating everyone’s wins
  • The Motivator: You give people that gentle push they need to take action

Once you know your archetype, creating genuine customer chemistry becomes so much easier.

2. Content That Connects People: What “Community-Building Content” Actually Looks Like

This isn’t about generic engagement posts or asking “what’s your favorite color?” Taylor shares her exact strategies for creating content for building online community that connects your dream collaborators to each other:

  • How to showcase your expertise while building genuine relationships
  • The types of posts that get people talking to each other, not just you
  • Why content that connects people is actually your secret weapon for sales

The goal? Getting your audience to say, “I love everything Hunter does AND I’ve met so many amazing people through her.” That’s when you know you’ve created irresistible community chemistry.

3. How to Start Showing Up (Even If You’re Introverted)

Here’s the beautiful thing about building a business community—you don’t have to be the extroverted networker to make your business irresistible to your perfect community match. Taylor breaks down how introverts can excel at this by focusing on their natural strengths like recommending resources or being the cheerleader who lifts everyone up.

It’s not about changing who you are; it’s about finding your authentic way to create those meaningful connections that turn into lasting business relationships.
