MAX PETE ON COMMUNITY, CHARGING WHAT YOU’RE WORTH, AND WHY MOST PEOPLE STOP TOO EARLY

Published On: April 1, 2026Categories: Interview

This my third conversation with Max Pete, and we talk about the difference between having an audience and building an actual community, the slow grind of consistent output versus going viral, and why honest and real beats polished on social right now – and actually how the most best thing you can do on any platform isn’t broadcast, but connect people to each other.

“One of the coolest things about having an audience is bridging the gap between so-and-so and someone else. Being like, oh, someone’s looking for someone — I know that person. I can connect them together. That is the coolest thing.”

If you’re looking for help with building a regular outreach habit or just need a pep talk about charging what you’re worth, this is a good one to watch.
