With Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner

Moderated by Trisha Malcom

What does it look like to build a business around community, intentionally and over time? Join Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner of Modern Daily Knitting in conversation with Trisha Malcolm for an honest look at how MDK has grown through daily connection. At the heart of it all is a simple practice: showing up consistently; one email, one story, one day at a time. From that steady rhythm has grown a wider circle: virtual classes, the MDK Society, gatherings like Nash Yarn Fest, workshops at Shakerag; all rooted in the same idea: relationships first.

Together we will explore:

• Community as a daily practice
• Why consistency matters
• Lessons learned along the way
• How trust sustains a creative business

A conversation about the long game of community.
