Meraki Tribe Collective The Back Story with Will & Lois | EP1 : Tangible Changemakers Podcast

In this episode, Will and Lois share the backstory of what led to their vision of creating Meraki Tribe Collective -  a platform intentionally curated for the conscious community to bring together like-minded people who are passionate about creating a better world for humanity. They discuss the need for a new paradigm, one that is based on connection and cooperation instead of competition and separation. They talk about how technology has disconnected us more than it has connected us, and how we need to find ways to connect with each other in a more meaningful way. They discuss why it is necessary to bring back authenticity, ethics, and integrity to business and marketing and stop justifying manipulative business practices - especially in the coaching,  holistic healing, and plant medicine space. They share the challenges and inspiration that led them to the knowing they were meant to use their gifts to be the bridge between the old paradigm and building the new earth, by creating an online space free of censorship, where people can show up authentically and fully self-expressed and find all the tools they need to create real conversations and transformation. They share their vision to ultimately build principle-based physical eco-friendly sustainable living communities. https://merakitribecollective.info
