Gina Bianchini breaks down why 10 founding members matter more than scale, and how to know if someone is truly your ideal member instead of someone you're trying to convince. If you've ever struggled to describe who you serve with vague labels, this episode gives you a simple shorthand instead: beginner, intermediate, advanced.
