The Future of Community with Faia Founder George Siosi Samuels

Hey Everyone, Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Also happy birthday weekend to myself! As a gift to you all and myself, i decided to put out this fresh episode with George that I had tonight. It's very interesting because I'm at the intersection of Enterprise B2B technology and the future of community + blockchain, which now that I learned about it a little, is super interesting and I can better understand why there are over 4,000 of these bitcoin groups around the world on Meetup's platform. Okay you'll hear the context of the episode and I hope you enjoy it and share with your friends, or anyone else who might be interested in: Creativity Words From the Community Legend @ Managing and Leading People Empathy Resourceful People Skills Rare Bringing out the best in people Wondrous How to be an effective and easy to talk to Communicator Awesome Facilitator Community Strategy Community Leadership Coaching Employee Experience (EX) Design George, by day, is the Managing Director at Faiā, who helps brands manage communities more wisely.
