Creating Equitable Hybrid Communities
By Hugh Lashbrooke
By this stage, we’ve probably all heard of “hybrid events” – it’s become a bit of a buzzword in the community industry of late – so how do hybrid communities differ from events? There’s a lot of nuance to it, but broadly speaking hybrid communities have a more holistic focus as they incorporate all interactions of the community, not just the singular events.

A big part of building community is about habits.

And it's super hard because you have to build up your own habits of doing things AND you have to help your members achieve good community habits too.#100DaysOfCommunity
A community doesn’t need to call themselves a community to be one.#100DaysOfCommunity

Community is key in the success of crypto. Lots of ppl talk about community as a result. But too many talk about community for the purpose of bringing value to the coin. That’s the wrong framing, and is demonstrated whenever crypto crashes overnight.
