Growing Through Community with Melissa Baran

Brad sits down with Melissa Baran, founder and creative director of Haven, to talk about building a business around community, connection, and continuous growth. Melissa shares how Haven began with editorial content while always being built around a larger vision, eventually growing into an intimate education community centered on deeper relationships, shared learning, and in-person experiences.

They get into feedback, pricing and profitability, authentic marketing, investing in yourself, and the confidence that comes from learning alongside other business owners. The conversation is a look at how the right community can help people evolve their businesses, define success on their own terms, and move from asking “Can I do this?” to “How do I make this happen?”
