Hi!
We know, we know 😅 it’s been a while since we’ve hit your inbox with an update. But trust, we haven’t been sitting around doing nothing. Here at Never Was Average, connection has always been at the heart of what we do, and we’ve been out here creating spaces where people can just be, share, and maybe even learn something along the way.
Oh wait, before you continue reading…
Sliding Into Substack Like…This is where we’ll be dropping our (inconsistent but always intentional) newsletter from now on.
In the TRENCHES
In this post-COVID world, where social calendars are packed with…stuff…a lot of stuff…many things feel like empty events.
So we pose this question to you: How are y’all actually maintaining deep, meaningful connections?
Or have we all just settled for fast-food social gatherings and friendships…quick, and convenient, but ultimately leaving us unsatisfied and circulating through the latest social cycle.
Community POV
We’ve been thinking about this a lot, so we tapped into our community to get some thoughts. But we also want to hear from you. When you show up to all these events, experiences, and so-called third spaces…what’s your endgame? What are you really looking for?
We asked our community how they feel about connection lately. Here’s what came up:
What do you think about the shares? Which one would you like to reply to?
What's Coming Up
We’re looking for collaborators for our 2025 programming. Got an idea for a workshop or interested in facilitating a conversation?
Save the date: March 18! 👀
We are doing our very first panel/fireside chat (Joanna & Harry, co-founders of NWA), to talk about connection and other topics related to communities, businesses, and various industries.
Keep up the great work!
