Love this topic and looking forward to your ideas in future posts. This reminds me of the famous Rat Park Experiment (5 min synopsis here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8AHODc6phg&feature=emb_imp_woyt) - the overarching idea is the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, the opposite of addiction is belonging. Just reserved Bowling Alone from library!
Erik, this is one of my favorite articles I’ve read that’s stuck with me for a while. Did you write a follow-up article for community building and frameworks? Or any recommendations for reading material you’ve come across since on the subject?
What Bo Ren said resonates with me. As an immigrant, I am passionate about fostering spaces, so we all can thrive. Community has become a topic that every company is talking about. Fostering a safe and thriving community take a lot of work and soul. I think one reason why On Deck is experiencing exponential growth is because of that community perspective.
