In this March episode of "Essentials For A Better Tomorrow," James explores the tension between institutional community and authentic self-expression.

Drawing from his career journey, he unpacks how organizations create "shapes" that members are expected to fit into, and the difficult realization when your authentic self doesn't conform to these pre-established patterns.

Rather than criticizing community, this episode offers a nuanced perspective on when going solo becomes an act of strength—not just for yourself, but for others seeking shapes that don't yet exist.

Discover how creating your authentic "shape of space" might be the most profound contribution you can make to genuine community.
