Building Consistent Creators Through Community: A Message from Kit Studios

Episode 517

How Community Fuels Creative Growth

The magnetic pull of being in rooms with the right people can transform your creative journey in ways you never imagined. After recording in Nathan Barry’s podcast studio in Boise during Craft and Commerce, I couldn’t help but reflect on how physical proximity to motivated creators becomes fuel for your own success.

The Power of Building Consistent Creators Through Community

My third year at this Kit event revealed something profound: connections that begin at conferences can evolve into relationships that have a significant impact on your business trajectory. From receiving a warm hug from author Jay Papasan (whose book The One Thing I’ve recommended countless times) to witnessing creators whose lives looked completely different just months ago now making a tremendous impact, these moments remind us why investing in community matters. The power doesn’t just exist during the event but continues long after through ongoing engagement and support from people you meet.

Investing in Growth: More Than Just a Ticket

Although attending conferences represents a substantial financial investment, the returns manifest in relationships that open doors, insights that shift perspectives, and motivation that propels you forward. It’s easy to write off events like these as a luxury, but when you’re intentional, they become strategic stepping stones toward long-term growth. Every hallway conversation, group workshop, or serendipitous connection has the potential to completely reframe your path. And spoiler alert: the ROI on inspiration, accountability, and future collaborations? It’s massive.

Don’t Wait Until You “Feel Ready”

If you’re hesitating about stepping into a room that makes you uncomfortable, consider this your sign to do it anyway. Some of the most transformative moments happen when you feel the least prepared. You don’t need a perfect elevator pitch or 10,000 followers to belong in these rooms—you just need the willingness to learn, contribute, and be open to the unknown.

The Ripple Effect of Showing Up

As we celebrate seven years of The Proffitt Podcast since our 2018 launch, I’m excited to introduce our rebranded membership community, the Consistent Creators Club (formerly Podcasters Connect), designed to help content creators maintain consistency across platforms. We’ve seen firsthand how being surrounded by like-minded people who “get it” keeps momentum alive, especially when motivation wavers. Inside the club, we’re not just sharing strategies. We’re creating accountability, forming collaborations, and building real friendships that outlast algorithms and platforms.
