Why we picked it Justin Jackson builds from Vernon, a small town in British Columbia, not a metro tech hub, and he started the MegaMaker community specifically because indie makers were isolated and had nobody local to talk to. His shows are a first-person account of turning an online-first audience into a real peer group, which is the exact bind you are in when there is no scene at your doorstep. Start with any MegaMaker or Build your SaaS episode where he talks about finding your people online.

- You can build a genuine founder circle without a local scene by going online-first and being consistent, which is how MegaMaker grew from a small town.
- Community often starts as a byproduct of showing up in public (a podcast, a newsletter) rather than as a launch event you have to fill.
- Isolation is the real problem to solve, so optimize for a small group of people who actually talk to each other over a big list that does not.
