Sr. Community Specialist @ Zapier | Founder of Floxies Community | Building D.A.M.N. awesome Discord communities

Passionate community builder and tech enthusiast, I have successfully transitioned from working as a primary school teacher to becoming a tech leader, leveraging my skills in UX/UI design and Webflow development.

As the Founder of the Floxies Community, I've created an empowering platform for over 1500 women in UX/UI design and Webflow development. Our weekly "Wonder Wednesdays" live events provide our members with valuable insights from industry experts, fostering a vibrant and supportive learning environment.

In addition to Floxies, I work as the Community Manager for NoCodeOps, where I've built a thriving community centered around no-code operational solutions.
Our weekly live events bring in thought leaders from the no-code space, further enhancing the knowledge and skills of our community members.

My unique blend of creativity, technical skills, and community-focused approach has not only allowed me to build and nurture these communities but has also established me as a thought leader in the tech space.

I’m continuously seeking out new ways to grow and optimize our communities, fostering a culture of learning and mutual support. I believe in the transformative power of communities and the limitless potential they hold for individual growth and industry innovation.

In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, playing soccer and playing video-games
(yes, I love playing in general! 😜).

I am also a proud member and Ambassador at Women TechMakers.

Community at Square | Maximizing ROI through strategic community building. | Writer, speaker, husband, brother, dog dad, and sometimes a DJ

Hi, I'm Max and it's great to connect!

My career journey hasn’t been linear (is anyone’s?), but I’m grateful it’s led me to what I care about most: helping people feel seen, supported, and like they belong.

I started out in marketing and advertising, working across music labels, agencies, and my own freelance practice. But during the early days of the pandemic, burnout and a deep craving for more meaningful work led me to community building, and I haven’t looked back since.

Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to build and support communities ranging from 300 to over 300,000 members, speak at 20+ events (including Creative Mornings and Talkbase in Prague), and collaborate with brands such as Square, SuperHi, and Origin.

Some people call me a “community cheerleader,” a nickname I wear proudly. My work is rooted in care, clarity, and connection. Whether I’m leading strategy, hosting an event, coaching a founder, or writing a newsletter, I’m always thinking about how to make people feel a little more human and a little less alone.

Outside of work, I’m an amateur DJ and playlist curator (music has been a lifelong passion), a writer, and a proud advocate for individuals with limb differences. I serve on the board of Design With Us and volunteer as a coach with Nubability.

Let’s connect if you:

- Want to jam on community ideas or swap career stories
- Are looking for a speaker or podcast guest
- Need help building a community or clarifying your messaging
- Just want to say hi (that’s cool too)

And if you want to follow along more regularly, I write about community, career, and self-worth in my newsletter: https://maxpete.substack.com

THE COMPARISON TRAP IS A LIE!! YOU ARE DOING GREAT.
:)

Writer, speaker, and real-life hype man. Exploring community, career growth & the courage to be yourself.

YOU ARE A HUMAN, NOT A ROBOT. STOP WORRYING ABOUT OUTPUT, AND JUST FOCUS ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TODAY.

Be nervous but do it anyway! 

We're piloting member-led meetups in the Sprout Community, and I'm proud that we brought this idea to reality in under a month! Big shout out to Erica Benton for bringing this idea to the team and for supporting everything and Laura Porcincula who has been an amazing teammate through this whole process! 

Also to our two members Anna Laura McGranahan and Melissa M. for trying something new and testing this pilot program with us :) 

If you're in Ferndale, MI or ATL, we'd love to see you at a meetup!

The pressure to be extraordinary is just another way to keep us from enjoying the ordinary lives we already have. I hope you can find some time today to just be still and remember that your output is the least important thing about you. We’re doing just fine, exactly as we are.

WAIT, CAN I JUST SHOUT SOME MORE ON HOW COOL MY WIFE IS FOR JUST DOING THE THINGS SHE SETS HER MIND TO?

1. STARTING A SUBSTACK AND SHARING HER JOURNEY. 
2. PREPPING A TON THESE PAST FEW WEEKS BECAUSE SHE IS IN The Philadelphia Flower Show THIS UPCOMING WEEK, WHICH IS A HUGE DEAL!! 

THAT'S ALL. 

SIGNED,
A PROUD HUSBAND.

Founder & Product Designer | A creative person with a knack for business

I started a Substack to document field notes on business and life. My freelance roots started from a coffee blog and it's nice to get back into writing.
