About this listen
"With no jargon and no nonsense, Bailey, Kevin and Kai lay out simple, practical steps for helping people come together in meaningful and powerful ways." (Dave Isay, founder of StoryCorps and winner of the TED Prize)
Although communities feel magical, they don't come together by magic.
Get Together is a practical and heartfelt guide to cultivating a community. Whether starting a run crew, connecting with fans online, or sparking a movement of K-12 teachers, the secret to getting people together is this: Build your community with people, not for them.
In Get Together, Bailey, Kevin, and Kai share true stories of everyday people who created thriving communities, both in-person and online. They untangle the challenge of getting passionate people together into clear steps, helping individuals and organizations navigate the intricacies of leading a community, including:
- How to rally the first people
- How to get people talking
- How to attract new, authentic folks
- How to develop leaders and expand globally
The People & Company team reminds us that we each hold the potential to spark a community.
Get Together shows listeners how if we join forces - as company and customers, artist and fans, organizer and advocates - we'll do more together than we ever could alone.
"I highly recommend Get Together for anyone who's looking to crack the code on building a community." (Alisha Ramos, Founder of Girls' Night In)

The science fiction of the 1960s promised us a future remade by technological innovation: We’d vacation in geodesic domes on Mars, have meaningful conversations with computers, and drop our children off at school in flying cars. Fast-forward 60 years and we’re still stuck in traffic in gas-guzzling sedans and boarding the same types of planes we flew in over half a century ago. What happened to the future we were promised? In Where Is My Flying Car?, J. Storrs Hall sets out to answer this deceptively simple question.

Where are our people? The answer is found in Belong, a highly energetic guide to discovering where and with whom you fit.

Although software has become easier to build, launching and scaling new products and services remains difficult. Start-ups face daunting challenges entering the technology ecosystem, including stiff competition, copycats, and ineffective marketing channels. Teams launching new products must consider the advantages of “the network effect”, where a product or service’s value increases as more users engage with it. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants utilize network effects, and most tech products incorporate them.

An inside look at modern open-source software developers - and their influence on our online social world. Open-source software in which developers publish code that anyone can use has long served as a bellwether for other online behavior. In the late 1990s, it provided an optimistic model for public collaboration, but in the last 20 years it shifted to solo operators who write and publish code that's consumed by millions.

Story

Where are our people? The answer is found in Belong, a highly energetic guide to discovering where and with whom you fit.

I just let this run in the background once I realized what was happening; it never got better. Some of the points were useful - a very few. Otherwise the book focused on: "This what we have done. This is what you should do. This is why you should pay us to help you." The author and company might have something to offer, but the writer's attitude was off-putting - they should have hired a professional writer, or maybe should not have published at all.
