S07 | 03 - Cultivating Hope in Our Communities with Evan Spencer

<p>Do you have a relationship with your neighbors? Likely, you know a couple of them, and maybe even say hello in passing, without actually having a connection with them. But it wasn’t that long ago that people really depended on their neighbours and immediate communities for support in daily life.</p> <p>Community advocate Evan Spencer joins me on the podcast today to discuss <em>why</em> it is still so important to intentionally build up those relationships and create a united vision of community. It may involve stepping outside of your comfort zone, especially after a year in quarantine. But by cultivating these connections, we can foster genuine care and hope in our neighborhoods and cities.</p> <p>Ready to change the narrative in your community?
