ABOUT
“Building a community is like herding cats on a sugar high, while juggling flaming chainsaws. It's messy, it's unpredictable, and most of the time, it feels like you're about to lose a finger. But here's the truth: In the age of disruption, where attention is currency and loyalty is a fleeting fantasy, communities are the new moat. They're your shield against the digital barbarians and your secret weapon for growth.” - Will Green
