Favorite quotes from this talk See all
You don't have to inherit your community, you can build it.
You cannot be everything to everyone. If you're going to have a community, be specific about what it is that you want to do.
Community = Experience + Connection
What that comes down to when you're looking to build a community and evolve, is opportunity.
If we can create spaces where people get out of their comfort zone, get to know their neighbours, and share a meal with someone who's different than them, then that's part of the way to a place where food banks aren't needed anymore.
