Building a Community of Positivity: Lessons from Shelter in Place

Wendy Green is back with another uplifting episode, and this time she’s chatting with Matt Potts, the mastermind behind the 'Unintended Positives from Shelter in Place 2020' Facebook page. Picture this: when the world came to a screeching halt, Matt decided to spotlight the good things that were still happening. Fast forward to now, and he’s got a lively community of nearly 10,000 members sharing their stories! It’s a real testament to how people can come together during tough times. In our chat, we dive deep into the community aspect of Matt’s page. t’s not just about sharing a good meal or a sunny garden pic; it’s about genuine connection! People are sharing stories of rekindling family ties, learning new hobbies, and even helping each other cope with loneliness. It’s refreshing to hear how this space has become a safe haven for positivity amidst the noise of the world. We also touch on Matt’s future plans, including a book that aims to capture the spirit of this community and inspire others. So if you’re in need of a pick-me-up or just want to hear some lovely stories, this episode is definitely for you!
