Paid Communities Outperform Ads

From the transcript, I don't see a clear business idea being proposed about a paid community platform. The transcript mainly discusses Scott Heiferman's story with Meetup.com, his experiences working at McDonald's and Amazon, and some discussion about manufacturing jobs. While Meetup.com is mentioned as using a paid model instead of ads, this isn't presented as a business idea but rather as historical context about the company.

If you'd like me to structure a business idea from this transcript, please point me to the specific section where it's discussed, or if you'd like me to analyze a different part of the transcript, I'm happy to do so.

The closest business-related insight from the transcript might be Meetup's decision to charge users instead of using ads, but this is presented as historical fact rather than a proposed business idea.
