PEOPLE POWERED VOICES

One of the challenges in writing a book such as ‘People Powered’ is selecting stories, examples, and case studies to include in the book. While I included stories from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jim Whitehurst, Ali Velshi, Alexander van Engelen, Jim Zemlin, Peter Diamandis, and others, the world of community building is far more expansive and diverse than these stories alone. There are thousands of examples and learnings out there in incredible communities being built by a broad range of people and backgrounds.

Some of these stories I am featuring on my podcast, Conversations With Bacon (such as Emily Musil Church from XPRIZE and Kate Drane from Techstars), but I also want to share these stories here on my blog too, especially from underrepresented groups across a broad range of industries and experience. There are so many fantastic people out there doing this work and I can use my website and platform to do a better job in helping to share some of these stories.

As such, I am kicking off a series of interviews here called People Powered Voices. These interviews are designed to augment the stories and examples in the book to provide a more comprehensive set of material for you all to pull from.
