Welcome our New Community Manager, Max Pete!

Welcome to The Arboretum, Max!

We’re so excited that ​@Max Pete has joined The Arboretum team. Let’s get to know him better as our January Arboretum Community Member Spotlight. 

Share a fun fact about yourself.
When I was a kid, I got to dance on the Groundhog's Day stage to Nsync with my friends and meet Punxsutawney Phil.

What’s your favorite social account to follow right now?
Okay this might be blasphemy, but the only social media I have is Linkedin. But I do love following what Enara was doing with Sweet Loren's because I love cookies and also she makes it so fun!

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Since it is winter, I am in my Soup mode! It is also so versatile, like you can really do a lot with it and make it your own!

When it comes to your work, where do you find inspiration?
The members and community that I help serve! One of my favorite things about working in the community space is interacting with members on a regular basis. I always get inspired learning more about their challenges, celebrating their wins, and making the space a fun place to be!

What do you like to do in your off time?
I am super big into walking and getting outside. When I am not working, I am usually out on a stroll in my neighborhood, checking out new places in Philly, and just exploring. I also am into curating playlists and DJing.

If you were a social network, which would you be and why?
I would be Substack, because the vibes over there are immaculate! It's just a fun place to be alongside other writers and everyone is super supportive.

What is your favorite Sprout feature and why?
Ohhhh this is a hard one! I would have to say the Social Listening feature. For me, it is so cool getting to see and track keywords and sentiment across the entire web, even if people don't specifically tag your brand. Such a game changer!
