It's refreshing to see someone grow a business without going all-in on social media. The guy's got some solid strategies, especially with the community engagement and owning that quirky emoji (πŸŒ€) and making it part of their branding. Makes me rethink the usual hustle and bustle approach.

Totally. I'm into the whole community-first vibe. Personally, I've seen some success by prioritizing genuine connections over flashy social media moves. It's a slower burn, but the engagement feels more real.

Im all for Lucas community-focused approach. Quality over quantity any day. The emoji branding is a quirky touch that seems to stick as well.
