The Third Place

The idea of finding common ground from a variety of perspectives is a foundational idea of "a THIRD place." However, not all truths are found here. Especially as we are wrestling with addressing racism in our country, it is clear that many ideas and truths are in fact found in the black and white. 

If LOVE and HATE are on opposite ends of a spectrum, our guide towards healing is not found in the middle ground. Leading with LOVE, which is on the far edge, is where we will find our true path.

In our episode, The Wheel of Life, we talked about dreaming what the future could be with all of the aspects of your life. Now, we talk through how to set goals to achieve those dreams.

Many businesses have gotten good at answering the question, "Why do you do what you do?" The more you, your customers and your team members can answer this question, the better you will be able to connect your work with other people! But have you ever stopped to ask the question personally? Why do YOU do this work? What about it makes you light up? Why can't you walk away? Being a part of a community minded business is REALLY HARD! Understanding your personal why can help shape other aspects of your work.

In this Episode, we'll unpack the meaning of The Third Place, why it's important, and defining framework and language for businesses that encourage community dialogue and development.
