Jeremiah Owyang, Part 3: Starting and Growing a Community

"People would rather have [a] knowing they are accepted and appreciated. That's far more important than lining one's wallet...This is about the core essence of humans connecting with other humans." --Jeremiah Owyang

In this last installment of my interview with Jeremiah Owyang, we talk about the increasing influence of communities, ways to kickstart a community, and best practices on growing a community. Be sure to listen towards the end of the interview for a discussion about social capital. Jeremiah talks about a revealing experiment conducted by a major high tech company on community-building.

This last segment is under 9 minutes in duration.

My thanks again to Jeremiah for his generous spirit in sharing what he knows with the ABV community.  He took his own personal time (on a weekend!) to do this interview, which says a lot about his commitment and passion for this topic.
