#051 Do you ever think about how childhood impacts your interests as an adult? Many community builders grew up feeling like outsiders, but seeing the world through a different lens can often lead to a passion for bringing people together. Our guest today, Elisabeth Tuttass, is half Korean and half German. She moved to the US as a teenager, not speaking any English. Like Jillian, she credits her childhood for her interest in diversity, inclusion, and building communities. Elisabeth is now the Head of Community at Grid110, a startup accelerator and nonprofit that supports underrepresented entrepreneurs. This is a fascinating interview. We get into everything from using feedback loops that guide community strategy to understanding engagement styles and connecting with your members on their terms. Elisabeth and Jillian also discuss Zoom alternatives, making online meetings more engaging, and transitioning from in-person communities to fully remote. Listen in for a great new perspective on community! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/cx051.
