Fostering a Self-sustaining Community

Building a lowercase community involves enabling people to interact and support each other without constant oversight. Witnessing members collaborating and creating value independently signifies the success of community building. This shift from a 'capital C community' focused on the brand to a 'lowercase community' where individuals engage with each other contributes to the sustainability and growth of the community. It is crucial for community leaders to encourage member-to-member interactions to ensure the longevity of the collective support system. Moving away from being the central figure to empowering community members to share knowledge and resources leads to a thriving and self-sustaining community environment.
