This week Louise and Michelle are joined by SJ, founder of Tails and Trails, a canicross club based near Ludlow in South Shropshire.

Eli Smith, director of the Faith-Based Housing Initiative, joins the show to talk about churches turning underused land and aging buildings into housing and everyday community spaces. He explains how his team helps congregations understand their property, imagine specific projects, and gain the language and tools they need to work with developers, lenders, and local officials. Eli and Tiffany dig into the tension between commuter churches and a more rooted parish model, and why thoughtful design often leads congregations beyond a standard apartment block toward pocket neighborhoods and shared spaces.

When Tina Roth Eisenberg moved to New York in 1999 as a new designer, she kept asking herself the same question: where are my people? Eighteen years ago, she answered it by starting Creative Mornings—a free breakfast lecture series that has since grown into what she describes as the world's largest face-to-face creative community: 252 cities, 70 countries, and more than a thousand volunteers gathering with around 25,000 people every month. Or, as she puts it, “church for creativity.” Visit our Susbtack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/tina-roth-eisenberg-creative-mornings But Creative Mornings is just one thread in Tina's story. She's the voice behind Swiss Miss, the beloved design blog she's kept up for 21 years; the founder of FRIENDS, a creative coworking community in Brooklyn; and the creator of Tattly, the designer temporary tattoo company that started as a joke and turned into a business. In our conversation, Tina shares what she's learned about building communities that scale on trust rather than control, why she measures success in “return on friendship,” and how playful side projects increase “the surface area for luck to find you.” We also talk about commitment as a creative practice, raising creative kids, and why she believes the future isn't lonely—it's hyperlocal. Bio Tina Roth Eisenberg is a Swiss-born, Brooklyn-based designer and serial founder—though many know her simply as "swissmiss," after the design blog she started in 2005 as a personal visual archive, which grew into a popular design journal drawing an average of a million unique visitors a month. Raised in Speicher, Switzerland, and shaped by Swiss design (and, as she puts it, a lot of fresh mountain air), she completed her design studies in Geneva and Munich before moving to New York in 1999. She is the founder of CreativeMornings, the world's largest face-to-face creative community, with monthly talks in 252 cities across 70 countries; the founder of Tattly, the designy temporary tattoo company; co-creator of the to-do app TeuxDeux; and founder of FRIENDS, a creative coworking space in Brooklyn. She lives in beautiful Fort Greene, Brooklyn, with her two children, Ella and Tilo, who teach her about current memes and TikTok.

In this episode of SPACES, Dimitrius sits down with Colby Cox, founder and CEO of Convergence Communities, to explore how the built environment can either isolate us or help bring us back together.Colby has spent more than two decades developing mixed-use, master-planned communities rooted in human connection, wellbeing, and intentional living. For him, development is not just about what pencils out on a pro forma. It is about legacy: how a place feels 50 or 100 years from now, how it supports the people who live there, and whether it helps create a true sense of belonging.Through projects like The Granary in Milton, Delaware, Colby is challenging the conventional suburban model by rethinking porches, lot sizes, shared green space, public amenities, programming, and community gathering places. His goal is not simply to build houses, but to create places that gently pull people out of isolation and into relationship with their neighbors, their town, nature, and themselves.The conversation explores why many modern neighborhoods fail to foster connection, how fear and liability often shape development decisions, and why the return on investment in real estate should include more than dollars and cents. Colby also shares how his team is experimenting with ideas like a brewery incubator, meditation gardens, shared living models, and community-serving amenities designed to invite the surrounding town in—not wall residents off from it.This is a conversation about development, loneliness, legacy, and the role of design in rebuilding social connection.As discussed:The GranaryConvergence CommunitiesBuilt to Divide Podcast SeriesLYNESIf you enjoy our content, you can check out similar content from our fellow creators at Gābl Media.Spaces Podcast Spaces Podcast websiteLYNES // Gābl MediaAll rights reserved

You built something successful. Maybe it's a course that sells. Maybe it's a coaching program. Maybe you're the expert on the speaking circuit. You're established. You're making good money. People know who you are. And something feels off. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I sit down with Dr. Larry Daugherty, a radiation oncologist who went from living his "dream career" at Mayo Clinic to realizing he was hollow inside. He made the radical pivot into his actual passion, monetized before it was perfect, and built a thriving community-based business that fulfills him. This conversation is for the established expert who's wondering if there's more to the game. Why your courses aren't selling like they used to. Why community beats information. And how to build a business around what actually matters to you. What you'll learn: → Monetize first, perfect later - Why action beats analysis every time (especially when you're already established) → Higher ticket clients are fundamentally different - The 6X difference in results when you serve premium clients who show up with commitment → Small cohorts demand ruthless selection - Why one person not taking action in a five-person group spreads like a disease (but goes unnoticed in larger groups) → Community is your moat now - Why information is commoditized and belonging is the new currency → The suppressed part of yourself - How successful experts often realize they've buried the part that actually comes alive Real insights from the episode: Larry's story: from Mayo Clinic dream job to feeling hollow inside despite everything he worked for The moment an advertisement for a dog sled race above the Arctic Circle changed his entire trajectory Why he pivoted from courses to building a premium community-based business How he went from $3.5K to $5K to $30K offerings by monetizing before perfecting Why higher ticket clients are easier to work with (and produce 6X better results) The mistake of filling seats instead of selecting carefully in small cohorts How AI has made courses commoditized (and what to do about it) The shift from selling information to selling belonging and community Why the highest level of success requires authenticity and vulnerability   If you're an established coach, consultant, speaker, or course creator who's wondering if there's more to this game, Larry's story is for you. He went from a six-figure career to pivoting into community-based business that actually fulfills him. Check out his work at thefreedomphysician.com to see how he applied these principles. The frameworks work across industries: monetize first, build community, and scale through belonging instead of information. Join our next Speak to Convert Masterclass.

In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin and Coach Amanda welcome special guests Mike Lohman and Gabriele Burgholzer to discuss the formation of the Veteran Strongman Association and their hopes to encourage and inspire veterans through community and sport. The conversation explores the importance and asset of community and camaraderie in strongman sports, particularly for veterans. Lohman shares the motivation behind creating the association, which aims to provide strongman coaching, awareness of the needs of veterans, and opportunities for veterans to engage in supportive and healthy community. The episode highlights the welcoming nature of the sport and the various initiatives planned to support veterans, including coaching, seminars, and fundraising events to help is all run. The sport of strongman and the nature of what it is can be a particular gift to veterans, and this association aims to make it more and more accessible to them. They also explore how strongman training can serve as a supportive environment the mental health challenges that many face. Sport is stronger medicine than anti-depressants, after all.

This conversation explores the critical issues surrounding seed sovereignty, the threats posed by UPOV, and the collaborative efforts to promote food integrity and indigenous seed saving through the 'Free the Seed' campaign. Megan Westgate of Non-GMO Project and Lauren Cardeli of A Growing Culture talk about how they came to work together on this issue and share insights on the importance of biodiversity, community-led seed libraries, and the power of storytelling in transforming the food system. They then share how you can get involved in the campaign and join their learning journey. Key Topics:UPOV treaty and its impact on indigenous seed savingFarmers being put in jail for saving their own seedsThe importance of biodiversity and seed diversityHow Non GMO Project and A Growing Culture came together to build this campaignThe difference between seed vaults/morgues and community-led living seed libraries4 sessions of the Free The Seed learning journeyThe role of storytelling and narrative in food activismStrategies for engaging brands and communities in seed sovereigntySound Bites:“Humans have the ability to imagine the end of the world easier than the end of capitalism.”“[Those kinds of seed libraries are] what I call a seed morgue, because that's where seed goes to die.”“Living seed libraries exist through community mechanisms and community ownership where those seeds are being saved and adapting and growing and living throughout.”"It's illegal to save seed in many countries.""Seed saving is essential for human survival.”“Life is regenerative inherently.”“Think about what does ‘right relationship' look like for me and for my business.”“Food should nourish life.”“Our national identities are stories, our faiths are stories, our belief systems are stories. That is the power of narrative.”"We shouldn't be scared of them, they should be scared of us.

In this episode of Practically Pastoring, Andrew, Tim, and Jeff tackle two ministry questions that hit both structure and soul. First, they dig into church constitutions and bylaws, especially what happens when a church's governing documents were written for an earlier season and now create real bottlenecks for staffing, leadership, and growth. The conversation explores the difference between governance and management, why churches need to follow the bylaws they have before changing them, and how clear communication with the congregation can turn a frustrating process into a healthy teaching moment. From there, the guys shift to a question many pastors feel but do not always know how to answer: how do you actually find your people in ministry? If everyone says not to do ministry alone, what do you do when you feel isolated, younger than everyone else in town, and unsure where to start? The discussion gets practical about building friendships on purpose, reaching out before burnout hits, and letting go of the idea that your ministry friends have to be perfect personality matches or exact ministry clones. Along the way, the episode offers a helpful reminder that healthy ministry needs both strong systems and real relationships. You can have polished documents and still burn out in isolation, or great friendships and still get tripped up by unclear structures. Faithful ministry requires both clarity and companionship. What we cover in this episodeHow to know when bylaws are protecting the church and when they are paralyzing itWhy churches should distinguish between major governance decisions and day-to-day ministry managementHow to approach bylaw revisions without ignoring the process already in placeWhy communication and vision-casting matter when changing governing documentsHow isolation in ministry often persists because pastors wait too long to build friendshipsWhy your people do not have to be your age, your denomination, or your exact ministry roleSimple first steps for building real ministry friendships this weekWhy “don't do ministry alone” requires intention, not just agreementSponsors mentioned #sponsoredChurch MerchFor mugs, shirts, banners, stickers, and more for your church.

Matt Smith is a living legend with his unbelievable 30-year run at Club Passim, the historic folk venue nestled in a Harvard Square basement. Currently Managing Director at Passim, Matt is the most passionate music lover I know. He has used his platform at Passim to help establish artists like Lori McKenna, Anaïs Mitchell, Lake Street Dive, and so many more. I met Matt while working as a student at WERS 88.9FM, where he brought fantastic shows to a listening room filled with people who were clambering for honest music in an intimate space. He's been a very good friend and mentor to myself and thousands of musicians since he began his tenure at the club in 1995.In honor of Matt's 30th anniversary at Passim, we brought two longtime friends on the pod to talk to him about his role in the Passim community – and beyond. Musicians Edie Carey and Dinty Child join us in conversation with Matt; he shares advice he would give his younger self, we chat about what a vacation without music would look like and his incredible memory. That memory is tested in our lightning round where he answers Passim trivia (almost 100% correctly). There's also a discussion about what Matt is most proud of in all his years at the club: the campfire. festival, which takes place every Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends featuring sets in-the-round of mostly unknown new acts. I would imagine if you're listening to this episode of Basic Folk, you either know Matt or Club Passim.

Friend, I want to talk to you about something that has carried me through the hardest year of my life — something that didn't exist three years ago, and something I almost didn't start because I was scared, tired, and a little bit hurt. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story of how this podcast came to be — including the season I lost my voice trying to be strategic, the prompt from the Lord to come back to my roots, and the prayer call I didn't want to start that has now been carrying me for two and a half years. This is the lesson midlife has taught me, and the one I want to leave you with: you don't find your community. You create it. In this episode, I share: The behind-the-scenes story of my podcast — from Educated, Empowered, Inspired to Marketing Tips for Small Businesses to where we are today as Midlife Made Simple The moment I realized I had lost my voice trying to be "strategic" The fall morning the Lord nudged me to start a prayer call (and why I really, really didn't want to) What two and a half years of weekly prayer has actually looked like — and what we've prayed each other through Why God removes people from your life as preparation, not punishment The one question to ask yourself this week to start building your own community Why going first — and not waiting for reciprocation — is the move The most quoted line from this episode: "You don't find community. You create it." One question to sit with this week: What do I crave? A prayer group? A walking buddy? A monthly dinner with friends? A book club that actually talks about the book? Name it — and then take one small step this week to start building it. Mentioned in this episode:

Americans are more digitally connected than ever, yet more often isolated from the people living closest to them. A national survey last year showed only about a quarter of adults know all or most of their neighbors. What happens when neighborhood bonds disappear? Can rebuilding them improve our health, trust and resilience?

From the company's Youth Advisory Council to viral TikTok moments that moved hundreds of thousands of products organically, this conversation unpacks how listening became PacSun's greatest competitive advantage.But this episode goes beyond marketing strategy. Brieane opens up about her personal leadership evolution, the role of purpose in navigating uncertainty, and why conscious leadership requires both humility and courage.

In today's rapidly changing world, understanding the trends in church attendance is crucial for effective Christian leadership. As society evolves, so do the dynamics of faith communities, and leaders must adapt to these shifts to remain relevant and impactful.Carey Nieuwhof and Eric Bryant explore the future of the church in the context of modern challenges and opportunities. With the rise of AI disruption, many wonder how technology will reshape religious practices and community engagement. The potential for AI to influence church operations and outreach is immense, yet it also presents unique challenges that require thoughtful navigation.The interview delves into how Christian leadership can harness these changes to foster deeper connections and spiritual growth. By examining current trends in church attendance, we aim to provide insights that help leaders anticipate and respond to the evolving needs of their congregations.Summary:The church's future direction is human connection. I think the world is gonna be so profoundly disrupted. The disruption AI brings is going to be 10 times bigger than the industrial revolution and 10 times faster. So you don't even know what happened and all of a sudden you're there. Bad times for the world can be good times for the church.

When was a time when you felt disqualified? The CEO of the MomCo, Mandy Arioto, wants women to understand how Jesus calls and uses people and especially moms who feel disqualified. Mandy has cast her vision for creating honest, healing community for moms while developing them as leaders. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they talk about a mom's influence in families, faith, and society, and address why many moms still feel insignificant. You don't want to miss this encouraging and powerful Mother's Day conversation on God Hears Her.  Guest Bio: Mandy Arioto is the President and CEO of The MomCo and is widely known for her unique takes on parenting, relationships, spiritual and cultural issues. Through MomCo, which influences millions of moms through thousands of groups internationally, Mandy serves as the voice of one of the most influential mothering organizations in the United States and around the world. She and her husband, Joe, live in Denver, Colorado, where they love rock climbing and adventuring with their three kids. Mandy's most recent book, Have More Fun: How to Be Remarkable, Stop Feeling Stuck, and Start Enjoying Life, is available wherever books are sold.  Notes and Quotes:  “There's this secret society of moms that nobody actually knows about. It happens underground. And there are sacred conversations that we have as moms that are very rarely brought to light. They happen on the sidelines of soccer practice. They happen at kids drop off after the kids have all gone into class. They're honest, vulnerable conversations where you're thinking . . . ‘I should never have said that out loud.' And someone else says ‘me too.'” —Mandy Arioto  “That's what MomCo is about: having honest conversations that we're afraid to have as women, bringing them to light and recognizing that this is a holy space where God swoops in to heal the parts of our lives, fear, trauma, or inadequacy that we feel.” —Mandy Arioto  “I think that motherhood is incredibly rad, a sisterhood unparalleled, and the place that God uses to form us in ways that we could never have imagined beforehand.” —Mandy Arioto  “There is something unique that God does in moms that makes them influential in the kingdom.” —Mandy Arioto  “Our identity is in how faithful we are to what God asks us to do, how faithful we are to listening and knowing God's voice, being trustworthy in what He's entrusted us with, and recognizing that the outcomes of that can look all kinds of different ways.” —Mandy Arioto  “Our worth is not measured by how well our kids turn out.” —Mandy Arioto  “We don't have to qualify our wants; we can put our needs before God.” —Mandy Arioto  Verses:   Matthew 1:1-17  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 124 – Celebrating Mother's Day with Mary Jo Clark: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/celebrating-mothers-day/ GHH Ep 156 – Felt Needs for Moms: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/felt-needs-for-moms/ GHH Ep 187 – Building Community as a Mom with Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/building-community-as-a-mom/   Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Two-Minute Timeouts for Moms: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Minute-Timeouts-New-Moms-Devotions/dp/1640704469 MomCo website: https://www.themom.co/home Bloodline and Backbone Podcast: https://www.themom.co/bloodline-and-backbone/
