As an ecosystem developer, I've learned that why we gather and how we do it is key for breaking down silos, sparking innovation, disseminating information, and cross pollinating ideas. I also know that to create a better future, we have to collaborate more. That mainly happens when we get to know each other, build trust, and don't see each other as "other." In this episode, I share my philosophy for gathering diverse parts of the ecosystem and why it's so important to have an open mind and constantly seek to learn from others.
