"Community starts with a question and grows with heart."

We’re pumped to welcome Scott Tran, Founder at Support Driven, a community serving customer support and customer experience professionals, to our show.

Scott has built a thriving online community of more than 13,000 members who care deeply about support. What started as a single Slack channel, spreading through word of mouth, quickly turned into a movement centered on meaningful connection.

In this episode, Scott shares how the art of listening shaped every stage of growth, why people stay for friendship (not only answers), and what it really takes to scale a community without losing its soul. We discuss the importance of serving your community and Scott’s journey of growing Support Driven from a small Slack group to a full-fledged organization hosting conferences. 

Tune in to hear:

  • How Scott built a global community from scratch
  • Why emotional stickiness matters in community building
  • The surprising signals that show your community is thriving
  • The power of listening and adapting

If you're growing a community of your own, you’ll love this episode. Plus, it will inspire you to ask yourself: What’s one small signal that tells you your people feel connected? Enjoy!
