Elements of Community Podcast

Episode 29 of The Elements of Community Podcast features our host, Lucas Root, discussing community and how it informs our understanding of adulthood. He suggests that physical maturity is not the primary indicator of adulthood – rather, it is skills mastery. Root goes on to explain that community has a greater role to play in human development than other animals, and he proposes five key skills which define adulthood: complex communication, fluid leadership, teamwork, strategy and coaching. He also suggests that community plays an important role when it comes to infertility strategies for women. Tune in for a deep exploration of community and adulthood!
