Why Between People?
You may have read the last couple of posts from BETWEEN PEOPLE and thought to yourself, “What crawled up this guy’s butt?” I don’t blame you. I think, for the most part, this sub-substack is about people in community, and I’ve had a hot-mess discontent around our economic structures making war with the gentle, supportive ideal our communities could be.
But it’s time for a pivot. And that pivot might be a bit clunky like getting that couch down the stairwell.
Between People is about looking at ourselves together. We can overcome challenges. We can fight for each other. We can love each other. And we can be different than each other. All of this is part of the fabric of community, and the more the strands, the tighter the bonds.
So here is a little bit of what is coming soon:
We’re going to be talking with Roger Narvaez about his book Between the Tracks.1
We’ll also be talking with
about building communities that thrive.2We’ll catch up with
about being your authentic self in a big-industry world with an indie-level community.And to top it off, I’ll be talking with
about building communities for creatives.3
Title similarity completely by accident, but a pleasure to be sure. Purchase Roger’s book HERE.
You should be reading Beyond Sunday. It’s fantastic btw.
Andrew is thought-casting his ideas about games and community at Andak Games Lab.
