#49 - Reviving Third Places for Millennials & Gen Z

The withering away of a cultural cornerstone - third places. This episode is designed for the connector who wants to upgrade their community. I share research why it matters, a story of something that I would have never expected, and a way for you to be a third place creator.

Your first place is where you live, your second place is where you work, your third place is where you become a part of society, build community, and get nourished.
Unfortunately, these places are going by the wayside due to digital influences, parks being turned into parking garages, and public places charging just to be there. But, it doesn't have to be this way.
