    Why community is the most powerful tool for transformation.Community isn't just a feel-good buzzword. According to Gina Bianchini, it's a catalyst for personal and collective transformation.Bianchini is the CEO and founder of community-building platform, Mighty Networks, and author of the book Purpose: Design a Community and Change Your Life. "Community is when people come together, and every single member has something to give and something to receive," she explains. In contrast to the one-directional dynamic of a speaker and their audience or a creator and their following, Bianchini argues that the power of community lies in two-way exchanges, where each member benefits the group and benefits from it. "Community is the single most effective way to get results and transformation you just can't get on your own," she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Bianchini joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how to unlock the potential of purposeful communities. She shares strategies for finding your tribe during times of transition, the "people magic” created when we facilitate deep connections, and how creating community enables us to create the world and lives we imagine.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Gina BianchiniGina's Book: PurposeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful Moments Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - Defining Community vs. Audience (04:05) - Community as a Catalyst for Transformation (06:41) - Finding the Right Community (10:29) - The Future Story Framework (13:22) - People Magic & Facilitation (19:07) - The Final Three Questions (24:59) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

    In this vibrant episode of BG Ideas, Arigon Starr, award-winning Kickapoo artist and performer, joins us for a powerful conversation on Native storytelling as an avenue of resistance and healing through music, theatre, and comics. In our conversion, Arigon  conveys the importance of using art to illuminate, respond to, and challenge injustices, emphasizing the transformational effect of balancing humor with emotion. Implementing Native American traditions of storytelling in tandem with contemporary forms of expression, such as comics, she reframes dominant narratives about what it means to be indigenous and reclaims joy. Through music and performance, Arigon connects with diverse audiences using art as a pathway to process historical trauma without being consumed by it. Would you like to know more about Arigon Starr?

skimmer.En: The snow had already settled like a blanket over the norske landsbygda, and the landscape was covered in a quiet, white shimmer.No: Rustikke hytter med røde tak spredte seg utover landskapet, mens luften var fylt med den friske duften av vinter.En: Rustic cabins with red roofs spread across the countryside, while the air was filled with the fresh scent of winter.No: Det var denne tiden på året da hele bygda forberedte seg på den årlige vintermarkedet.En: This was the time of year when the entire village prepared for the annual winter market.No: Eirik, en mann med sterke tradisjonelle verdier, stod ved en av de gamle trebodene.En: Eirik, a man of strong traditional values, stood by one of the old wooden stalls.No: Han inspiserte nøye håndverksproduktene som skulle selges.En: He carefully inspected the handcrafted products that were to be sold.No: "Alt må være perfekt," tenkte han, og hans lette rynkede panne avslørte bekymringen for at alt skulle gå som planlagt.En: "Everything must be perfect," he thought, and his slightly furrowed brow revealed his worry that everything should go as planned.No: Astrid, derimot, var full av energi og nytenkning.En: Astrid, on the other hand, was full of energy and new ideas.No: Hun så på de samme trebodene med en annen visjon.En: She looked at the same wooden stalls with a different vision.No: "Hva om vi kunne tiltrekke flere unge ved å introdusere noen nye ideer?En: "What if we could attract more young people by introducing some new ideas?"No: " sa hun, og hennes øyne glitret med entusiasme.En: she said, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.No: "Vi trenger ikke forandre noe.En: "We don't need to change anything.No: Gjestene forventer tradisjon," svarte Eirik med en fast stemme.En: Guests expect tradition," replied Eirik with a firm voice.No: "Men vi kan fortsatt holde tradisjonen, og samtidig bringe inn noe nytt," sa Astrid forsonende.En: "But we can still maintain tradition while bringing in something new," said Astrid conciliatorily.No: Hun foreslo lett belysning med LED-lys, og en liten musikkhjørne med moderne julesanger.En: She suggested subtle lighting with LED lights and a small music corner with modern Christmas songs.No: Eirik nølte, men gikk til slutt med på å prøve Astrids ideer, med en betingelse: "Hvis det ikke fungerer, tilbake til de gamle måtene.En: Eirik hesitated but eventually agreed to try Astrid's ideas, with one condition: "If it doesn't work, back to the old ways."No: "Da markedets åpningsdag ankom, rullet en uventet snøstorm inn, og den kalde vinden pisket i de travle gatene mellom bodene.En: When the market's opening day arrived, an unexpected snowstorm rolled in, and the cold wind whipped through the busy streets between the stalls.No: Eiriks bekymring steg, mens Astrid herdet til utfordringene.En: Eirik's concern grew, while Astrid rose to the challenges.No: Snøen gjorde de gamle bodene glatte og vanskelige å navigere, men Astrids idé om lys og musikk holdt folk samlet og oppmuntret.En: The snow made the old stalls slippery and difficult to navigate, but Astrid's ideas of lights and music kept people gathered and encouraged.No: Folk danset for å holde varmen, og de yngre besøkende virket spesielt begeistret.En: People danced to keep warm, and the younger visitors seemed particularly excited.No: "Dette var en suksess," sa Astrid med lettet latter.En: "This was a success," said Astrid with relieved laughter.No: Eirik, som var overrasket over responsen, nikket anerkjennende.En: Eirik, surprised by the response, nodded appreciatively.No: "Kanskje det er noe i dine ideer," innrømmet han med et lite smil.En: "Maybe there is something to your ideas," he admitted with a small smile.No: Markedet avsluttet med mange fornøyde ansikter, og Eirik følte seg mer åpen for å blande tradisjon med innovasjon i fremtiden.En: The market concluded with many satisfied faces, and Eirik felt more open to mixing tradition with innovation in the future.No: Han så at Astrid hadde rett.En: He saw that Astrid was right.No: Det var rom for forandring, selv i de eldste tradisjoner, så lenge de ble behandlet med omsorg og respekt.En: There was room for change, even in the oldest traditions, as long as they were treated with care and respect.No: Og i den kalde, snøfylte kvelden, mens lanternene fortsatt glødet varmt, visste både Eirik og Astrid at markedet ikke bare hadde overlevd stormen, men hadde skapt et nytt bånd mellom det gamle og det nye, noe som lovet godt for fremtidige vintrer.En: And in the cold, snowy evening, while the lanterns still glowed warmly, both Eirik and Astrid knew that the market had not only survived the storm but had created a new bond between the old and the new, something promising for future winters.
