HOW TO FIND COMMUNITY

Was asked “how to find community” recently, and I cited Seth Godin:

“”What can I contribute today,” might be the very best way to become part of a community. Relentless generosity brings us closer together.”

When I was a young rocker, I played the bass. Bands needed bass players, and that’s what I contributed. After many years it was evident I wasn’t going to be a rock star, so I started a music blog, writing about the bands I loved and knew from my area.

That’s what I contributed back in 2001, and I just sort of never stopped contributing. Answering questions, helping out, hosting Zoom calls, talking on the phone, whatever.
