Power of Strong Communities
- A strong community attracts like-minded individuals who feel they belong and then aligns them to a shared vision.
- This alignment and collaboration build strong bonds, similar to friendships formed in intense shared experiences like the Navy SEALs.

- Build communities by having members work on something meaningful together, not just casual conversation.
- Adding effort and shared challenges creates stronger engagement and community bonds.
