“Your vibe attracts your tribe.”

A piece of advice from streamer Nina Mobina changed the way Joe Louis thought about authenticity, community and the people he was attracting into his life. What sounded like a simple phrase became something he would return to whenever his audience, environment or direction no longer felt right.

In this episode of A Podcast by Joe Louis, Joe tells the story of building a community through TikTok Live while trying to establish himself as an independent artist. He reflects on learning how to livestream, deliberately trying to build an audience that could grow alongside his music, the influence Nina had on his approach to community building, and the uncomfortable realization that the energy he was putting out was also attracting people he didn't necessarily want around him.

The conversation goes beyond social media and audience growth into authenticity, the law of attraction, relationships, accountability and finding your people. Rather than changing yourself to make people like you, the lesson became about understanding your own vibe—and recognizing that if you don't like the tribe around you, changing that environment may begin with looking at what you're putting into it.

The community Joe eventually attracted has become part of what allows him to remain independent, own his art and build his music career on his own terms.

If you don't like your tribe, change your vibe.
