In this episode of 'Winning the Room,' we sit down with Jess Scully, the former Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, to discuss the multifaceted nature of community. We explore various definitions and types of community, from communities of place and passion to communities of identity and intention. Jess sheds light on why community matters more than ever, particularly in addressing our modern 'poly crisis'—a confluence of global challenges. We also delve into the importance of physical spaces for fostering genuine human connections and how individuals can find their agency and come together to drive meaningful change. Tune in for an enlightening conversation about building stronger, more connected communities.

Winning The Room with Jonathan Pease is a podcast about human connection in the modern world. If you think about where we are headed, AI automation, separation, the only thing that can cut through that and keep us together is human connection. Have we forgotten how to do it?
