☀️️ The sun is out in Rosieland and it aligns with how I'm feeling—optimistic for the future.
And here's a quote from Seth Godin to reflect my mood:
Focused, persistent community action is how systems change. And systems concretize and enforce cultural norms.
If you care, keep talking. Keep acting. Stay focused. And don’t get bored.
I know I say don't bribe, but rules are meant to be broken.

Wondering if your organization is a candidate to build community?
— Zac Novak (@ZacWNovak) May 29, 2022
Ask these questions:
1. Are we purpose-driven?
2. Do others believe in our purpose?
3. Can we make a larger impact around our purpose by bringing those people together?
Yes, yes, yes = You’re a perfect candidate
