Build With Intention: Joe Glover on Community, Confidence & Human Marketing

Building a community is not about speed. It is about intention. Small moments. Quiet leadership. Big ripple effects.

In this episode of The Ripple Impact, Laura Barber is joined by Joe Glover, Founder of The Marketing Meetup, for an honest conversation about community, confidence, and what human marketing really looks like in practice. We unpack the human story behind building one of the most trusted marketingcommunities in the world.

Joe shares why most communities fail when they are built around short-term ROI, why marketers are feeling uncertain despite being highly capable, and why confidence, care, and psychological safety matter more than ever.

We explore:• The emotional reality behind modern marketing• Why being seen is one of the most powerful things you can give someone• How community grows when people feel safe to speak and belong• Why networking should leave people feeling more confident, not drained• And what it means to build something meaningful over the long term

A warm, honest conversation for founders, marketers and leaders who believe growth should feel human.
