Hot take: Are we relying too much on businesses (such as social media) to give us a sense of belonging?  Is it time to shift gears to family and local communities? 

💡So thinks, David Spinks, a leading authority in the world of community building. 
David is the author of the bestselling book - ‘Business of Belonging.’ He is the co-founder of CMX, a leading organization dedicated to helping 20K+ community professionals. Until recently, David Spinks was the VP of Community at Bevy, an enterprise events platform. 

🎙️Tune into this episode for David's insights on:

  • Community-Centric vs. Community-Peripheral Companies
  • Community's Role in business growth (SPACES model)
  • Dilution of the term "Community" by digital companies
