What does community mean, and what creates a sense of belonging? What’s the entry point to change the conversation and start creating more meaningful relationships with the people around us? How do we create a future that’s distinct from our past?

In this One Idea Away podcast, guest Peter Block explores these questions and more in light of the new edition of Community: The Structure of Belonging.

“Change the conversation and you change the world.”

“Part of the shift in thinking is that relationships are the point, they’re not a means to an end.”
