Episode notes
Wisdom Comes From Hard Lived Experience
- Village wisdom is born from lived difficulty and the slow accrual of experience over time.
- True elders offer unpolished, practical truth rather than curated highlight reels.
Show Up To Serve, Not To Get
- Do show up to serve rather than to extract referrals or status when building community.
- Give practical help (presence, snacks, skills) and the village will form organically.
Village Requires Transformation, Not Highlights
- Social media creates a highlight-reel expectation that distorts what village actually requires.
- Village demands vertical transformation, not horizontal confirmation.
