Communities Are Organisms — No One Organ Is More Necessary Than The Others
Ecosystems, Not Services
When we first started Maxwell we kept on changing our mind on what was most important — was it investing in one regular monthly event everyone really wanted to come to?
Should we go all out to make sure an average member was in the space once a week?
Or was the important thing that members were able to use the space for their own hosting and that they felt empowered?
Should we make sure our members had a place to go for their most important “special moments,” i.e. New Years Eve, Halloween, etc.?
Was it the small intimate dinners where people had real convos that were important, or was it the once a year big retreats, or regular co-working days.
Should the dinners be more focused around interests or more focused on getting people to be vulnerable and connect in an emotional way?…
If you want to learn more about the organism/ecosystem we’re building at Maxwell, apply for membership, our Spring cohort is wrapping up!
