On this episode of Talent Wars, we explore how communities can move beyond simply attracting talent to retaining talent by creating a true sense of belonging that helps people stay rooted. Dr. Andreya Williams, cultural strategist and founder and CEO of Sunday Still, shares her innovative approach to talent retention that centers the human experience of moving and starting over.

Join host Patience Fairbrother and Dr. Andreya as they discuss her "I-to-I framework" that moves newcomers from indifference through immersion, interest, involvement, investment, and ultimately to impact – and how her curated dinner experiences, cohort-based programming, and data-driven "stickiness score" are helping cities like Tulsa create meaningful connections for newcomers.

If your community wants to build deeper connections and true belonging for newcomers, this episode offers a roadmap for moving beyond the invitation to building a culture of inclusion.
