A network is in general sense, it's defined as a set of nodes kind of connected by ties between them and among them. In our context, you can have networks of people with ties along seven elements. You know, communication grid, trust, common language, shared vision,. Shared resources, feedback mechanisms. So the difference for me between a community and a network is the way that they're connected.
On this episode, Nate is joined by Marty Kearns, a civic organizer and networking specialist. He and Marty discuss why both networks and communities will be critical to the coming challenges we face. How will the social ties we form now influence the outcome of power, peace and new social organization? How can we organize ourselves in order to best meet the future that is coming?
