Have you ever wondered how to cultivate a vibrant online community that not only supports your entrepreneurial journey but also enriches your cultural understanding? Well, Paul Gowder, the founder and owner of powwowscom, is here to share his winning strategies. Join us as we explore the exciting nuances of community building and marketing, drawing from Paul's personal experiences and his profound knowledge of Native American arts and culture.

Picture this: a flourishing online community, deeply rooted in cultural celebration and exchange. This episode uncovers the beauty and significance of powwows - Native American celebrations that form the core of Paul's online platform. We'll learn how to connect with your community via emails, podcasts, and strategic giveaways that boost your business growth. We also delve into the art of crafting memorable experiences through side hustles, featuring the magical spark of Disney that has touched Paul's family in unique ways.

As we journey through Paul's entrepreneurial story, we find a tale of resilience, innovation, and a deep-seated respect for cultural heritage. Paul takes us through his evolution from an "accidental entrepreneur" to the brain behind one of the largest online communities dedicated to Native American culture. We glimpse the lessons learned, the legacy he envisions, and the power of community in fostering both business and cultural growth. Most intriguingly, Paul invites us all to step out of our comfort zones and experience the rich tapestry of Native culture by attending a local powwow. So, are you ready to explore the potential of your own community and perhaps dance to a new beat?
