Summary
Something unexpected happened recently that reconnected me to a version of myself I had almost forgotten. In this episode, I share how a conversation with Aarron and Eli from the Design Better podcast led me back to my creative roots. I share my favorite insights from their interview with CreativeMornings founder Tina Roth Eisenberg, and her philosophy on community growth. I break down a principle I keep coming back to with clients right now: community is not a community until it self-organizes. I talk about why every client I work with needs an in-person strategy, why hyperlocal is the future of community, and how you can design your member experience to create serendipity, ownership, and the conditions for people to genuinely co-create alongside you.
