Wow, big call I hear most of you saying - how first can we "hack home" and how second can we Thrive by just doing these things in our homes. Well as usual I know nothing except that I know nothing. And I'd like to share again, 30 years on this planet does not make me an expert, though when you dedicate your life to something you surely start to get some insight into whatever you find yourself in. So here we go!

Today, we will be going for a journey back home, looking at an important thing we forget about investing our time into. Our Home. We invest so much money and time into our homes, whether that be through a loan or our going to work full-time to pay for that home, we don't always get to physically be in it, then why are we investing so much energy and resources in it? Don't worry, I will share with you a little perspective (one of many) on this topic! That's why I am here today to share with you some insights of what I see anyone can do to truly see the blind pots and Thrive!

So today, I wanted to talk about, in my eyes a extreme version and perspective, when it comes to seeing community. In this episode we will explore briefly what it looks like to balance this and see it in a new light.

Yes when I think community, I cannot help but be programmed from my past experiences and see the seesaw balanced off into the hippy view on community, the one where we totally disconnect from society and go off-grid as such. Is there a new way? Let's explore and have some fun.

Hello! And thanks for joining me again for another episode, I don't know about you, but all I think about is how do we Thrive as individuals and as a collective, or a Tribe, a modern Tribe. This then is what I feel to be one of the most important things to think about in our practical world we live in, however you make your bread.

Today we will be talking a little bit about what I see people doing to truly Thrive in our business lives and some ideas and ways we see it possible to truly gain traction and exposure in this modern world.

A well timed in the moment feeling to do a episode on "The importance of of solo time in Community/family and beyond". As I forgot to maintain and make time for myself, I got frustrated and took some time for myself finally. So I took a trip to a local cafe to share a little bit about my experience and importance of solo time when building family/community and beyond. Enjoy!

A big topic today, we can get so comfortable in our personal development work, even diving into a little bit of spiritual bypassing, though is it all really working?, is it really empowering us to develop our own tailored view on reality? We all have a unique view right? You know that yea..?

I see many including myself getting caught in a potential trap of seeing the world through a type of "I'm broken" lens. This can be crippling, after you have invested so much in your favorite book, Guru and their latest retreat, though is it working for you? Of course it does, it's all performing a function, though the real question is, is it the most effective/efficient way?

If you were to do anything with people, create a business, or a family or an empire or civilization, what would be the one thing you would do?

The one thing: create space for vulnerable conversation a a group of people

In my experience the number one thing is to create the time and space for a collective conversation, one without rank, status and hopefully sovereign beings checking into the conversation.

As we navigate our world, we have to ask ourselves, "are we really acting fully on our own behalf?" Are we acting from a place within ourselves that is true. I know we are all human, though is our ability to become more and more Sovereign thekey to living a beautiful life, not only co creating with others, but acting from an efficient place for our selves?.

So what is "Self Sovereignty"? Well in my experience it's our ability to act and respond to our life fully from within ourselves, our true self's. I like to say, are we full? have we put that hypothetical oxygen mask on ourselves first before our child or in our case anyone else?

As I explained in my experience on a retreat in Bali about personal development and business, we formed bonds in 10 days! It was amazing, we had never met and in 10 days I created deeper bonds with these 20 or so people then I did in 12 years of schooling and 6 years in the military. It's simple stuff, yet so powerful. What I am proposing is that before you start to build community you look at creating space (as school and work were the spaces) to form those bonds and even just experiences, for example, take those you want to build community with on a trip together, create a retreat or an event, make it fun, set a strong commitment for people to show up for the highs and even lows and let those bonds form. 

Build your bonds before buildings for a Thriving community

Today I spoke about one of the most important things I feel to make any sort of community work. I like to simplify and start with a micro version of community and apply this to a few small families living together. It’s easy to get caught up in our own version of “community” but through my experience the ones that work have a few things in common and this is what I will highlight in this episode.

Here I want to offer a new view on community, to allow more people to step into mainly building their own modern physical tribe. To me after 5 years traveling the globe exploring, researching, studying and experimenting with “community”, I came to some realizations about where we are missing a few insights to see community and build it for our self’s. See our desire is only starting to ramp up to be in physical communities, you can see this from our rise in social media use, finding digital connection there, though now we are seeing that the more physical formulation of this is important to us, with the movement in #vanlife, #coliving #coworking and all the other version of it.
