Reflection : The Impact of Presence Over Scale

What’s more powerful: a big idea, or the courage to take small, consistent steps toward connection?

I unpacks a powerful truth: meaningful impact doesn’t require a massive platform—it requires presence. Drawing on insights from my conversation with Sarah Mathews, CEO of the Little BIG Foundation, I explores how small, intentional actions and spaces can spark deep, lasting community connections.

Through my personal stories and real-world examples, this episode highlights how trust, patience, and the courage to “get out of the way” can transform a simple gathering into a thriving community. Discover why the little things—done consistently and with care—matter most, and how you can begin to build connection wherever you are, with whatever you have.

Whether you’re a leader, community builder, or simply someone who believes in the power of people coming together, this episode will inspire you to start small and show up.
