Episode 67 - When building a community, shared silence can be golden

Show Notes

Creating a community around a shared interest or passion can lead to unexpected outcomes. Matt Trinetti followed the energy of an idea and provided a space for like-minded people to come together and form a community. The London Writers’ Salon has grown and evolved over time, with daily writing sessions and weekly interviews with writers, and is now a profitable business formed from a simple idea at the start of the UK’s first covid lockdown.

Takeaways from Dan and Pia

  • Follow the energy in the conversations you’re having, as more often than not, they’ll lead you to more fruitful decisions.
  • Collaborating virtually or in person gives us a sense of moving forwards. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to hold space.
  • Matt’s inclusive vision exposes the falsehood that collaboration can and must only happen in the same physical space.
