Community Building: Leadership, Values and Ownership with Steve Savides

ColivingDAO Insights: The Web3 Path for Regen Living

Ever wondered what it takes to build a thriving community? Join us as we demystify this topic with our guest, Steve Savides, who brings with him a wealth of knowledge from his diverse background in business, coaching, and community building. We dive into the essential elements required to foster a robust community, such as establishing trust, fostering good leadership, setting a clear vision, and aligning values. Steve also enlightens us on the concept of leadership which, contrary to popular belief, can be about service and empowerment rather than a guru-follower relationship.

Digging deeper, we unearth the importance of shared values and the significance of having well-defined entry and exit points in a community. We explore the fascinating world of coliving communities, their benefits, and how they skillfully bridge the gap between living alone and living with others. Drawing inspiration from Seth Godin, we discuss the concept of finding our tribe to optimize our community experience.

In the final leg of our conversation, we venture into the realm of distributed ownership and governance in coliving communities. We discuss how this model encourages people to invest time and money in a manner that suits them - effectively lowering the barrier to entry. We also consider the potential advantages of decentralised ownership and governance within a community. Tune in to our enlightening discussion and learn how community, connection, and shared values can transform the way we live.
