About this episode

Everette Taylor discusses his journey from adversity to influence and the importance of community building.

" Whatever bad situation you're in, it is really your will to want to change. Your predicament, your situation and life will try to break you — it was really just that determination that I didn't want to have myself or my family ever in a bad situation like that ever again.” Everette Taylor is the CEO of Kickstarter, a leader whose journey from adversity to influence is all about creativity, resilience, purpose, and impact. Since Kickstarter's launch, they’ve funded more than $8.5 Billion in creative projects worldwide. This is the debut episode of IN COMMUNITY - a new show by Fahad Khawaja — longtime FrieMMd of the Pod and Founder of Hue, the community-powered platform bringing marginalized voices to the center. Fahad explores the stories, values, and lived experiences that connect us — IN COMMUNITY is thoughtful, energizing, and the exact kind of conversation we need more of right now. This conversation is for anyone ready to build anything - spanning ambition and adversity, to shape culture and power progress. And most importantly? what it really takes to build community at scale.
