Jeremiah Owyang, Part 3: Starting and Growing a Community
“People would rather have [a] knowing they are accepted and appreciated. That’s far more important than lining one’s wallet…This is about the core essence of humans connecting with other humans.” –Jeremiah Owyang
In this last installment of my interview with Jeremiah Owyang, we talk about the increasing influence of communities, ways to kickstart a community, and best practices on growing a community. Be sure to listen towards the end of the interview for a discussion about social capital. Jeremiah talks about a revealing experiment conducted by a major high tech company on community-building.
This last segment is under 9 minutes in duration.
My thanks again to Jeremiah for his generous spirit in sharing what he knows with the ABV community. He took his own personal time (on a weekend!) to do this interview, which says a lot about his commitment and passion for this topic.
