92. The Art of Community with Award Winning Author Charles Vogl

In Leap of Fate Pod 92, Charles Vogl, an award-winning author of the Nautilus Silver Book Award in the Business and Leadership Category, comes on to speak about how we can build a strong community in our local community and as a global community. His first book, "The Art of Community" is used around the world to help organizations build a stronger internal and external community.

Charles and I have a vibrant and open conversation about building community at the local and global levels. Topics covered include:

1. Charles's time in Peace Corps: His Peace Corps Experience, Impact, and Learnings
2. Writing his three books, especially the Art of Community and the impact it has made on a global scale
3. One of today's biggest challenges, is loneliness. Why this is such a challenge and how we all can work to overcome this


Charles's book, The Art of Community, teachings have been shared with millions of people. Businesses and individuals use the teachings to foster community in their own communities. He shares how "strong cultures help people support one another, share their passions, and achieve big goals. And such cultures of belonging aren't just happy accidents - they can be purposefully cultivated, whether they're in a company, a faith institution, or among friends and enthusiasts. Drawing on 3,000 years of history and his personal experience, Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for growing enduring, effective, and connected communities. He provides hands-on tools for creatively adapting these principles to any group—formal or informal, mission-driven or social, physical or virtual. This book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a vibrant, living culture that will enrich lives."
