How Organizations Succeed by Creating Belonging

Drawing on lessons from brands like Yelp, Airbnb, Patagonia, Sephora, and Twitch, Vogl and Jones show how meaningful connection can transform an organization.
Youâll learn how authentic communities create belonging, strengthen loyalty, spark innovation, and help people become who they want to be. Itâs an accessible, actionable introduction to the principles behind successful brand communitiesâand a perfect starting point for our journey together.

Hi, I'm Seth Resler.
I help content creators, media professionals, and conference producers build real communitiesânot just attract eyeballs. With more than 30 years in broadcasting, podcasting, event production, and digital strategy, Iâve seen how the race to create more content often leads to burnout and diminishing returns. Thereâs a better wayâand it starts with connection.
I teach a repeatable blueprint that combines in-person events with digital tools to build sustainable communities. If you're ready to stop chasing attention and start building something meaningful, Iâd love to help.
