Local/community meet-up series for listeners
Organize recurring in-person meet-ups for the podcast audience to strengthen community and monetize events.
Summary

Problem
Podcast engagement is often limited to listening; listeners rarely convert into a strong, monetizable community offline.
Target customer
Engaged listeners in major cities and local superfans seeking in-person connection.
