How to build a strong community for the long term“Get Together is one of the best guides on how to not only build a strong community, but also sustain it for the long-term. I highly recommend it for anyone who’s looking to crack the code on building a community.” —Alisha Ramos, Founder of Girls’ Night In |
A practical and heartfelt guide for the digital age“Get Together is a generous, practical and heartfelt guide to creating community in the digital age. With no jargon and no nonsense, Bailey, Kevin, and Kai lay out simple, practical steps for helping people come together in meaningful and powerful ways.” —Dave Isay, Founder of StoryCorps |
About our most valuable resource—people“Get Together is a book about our most valuable resource—people—and how to get them together. Sounds simple; but then all great ideas are.” —Craig Pearce, Co-writer of Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, and The Great Gatsby |
A roadmap to building authentic communities“At a time when the extremes have become the norm and acute polarisation is on the rise, Get Together is a much needed roadmap to building authentic communities for good, that can ultimately outcompete the bad.” —Sasha Havlicek, CEO of Institute for Strategic Dialogue |
From the preface
Nearly every challenge of building a community can be met by asking yourself, “How do I achieve this by working with my people, not doing it for them?” In other words, approach community-building as progressive acts of collaboration—doing more with others every step of the way.
The throughline of our book is this simple concept: “build with.” It lives in each of the recommendations we make as we take you through three stages of building a community: sparking the flame, stoking the fire, and passing the torch.
Remember: the community you crave won’t form without someone willing to take the first step. And, as is true when you build a fire, there’s an order of operations you can follow to cultivate communities that burn bright. We wrote this handbook to guide you on that journey. You can spark a community. Don’t sit back and wait for one to appear. You’re the difference.
Let’s get started.

The best take on the undeniable need for community building in today's society!
Baily, Kevin, and Kai sum up the undeniable importance of Community Building and provide the best tools to authentically help a community grow in business or in life. This is by far, the best guide to help individuals lead sustainable community growth and to inspire businesses to adopt a people and customer-first mindset. The authors' collective experience is inspiring in itself. There are no better people to tell the community story! Read it, display it, adopt it. So good!

The most important thing I liked, is that it has a homework page after each chapter. I know most of us won't fill it out, but for me, just having these pages with questions helps me get a quick summary of the chapter after a while and the questions have prompted my thinking to develop various ideas and consider them for my business.
I'm building a mastermind and I think it's a great read for anyone who is looking for a new way to get clients and build a business. Thanks
