JC Lippold explores building community through the idea of an outward-facing clique, discussing how to turn shared passions outward and conversing with fellow Augsburg grad Ann Rodenberg about alumni engagement and outreach.
It's sunny in Minnesota, the weather is starting to feel a little bit fall. When the season starts to change, it gives us a bit of new life. It is a gift to spend time with you.
On Tuesday we talk about building community. I like to think of it as anytime humans spend time and space together. So the outward facing click. Taking something that you really care about and has people a part of it and then turning it outwards.
Both Ann Rodenberg and JC are graduates of the same master's program at Augsburg University. Ann works for an organization called the Wilder foundation doing big Fundraising. JC is a pretty big introvert and doesn't talk to other people very easily.
Well, hey there, Cadre. How are you today? I hope you are well. As you can see, I'm outside. It's sunny in Minnesota, where I am, the weather is starting to feel a little bit fall. It's not fall yet. We have a lot of summer left. But when the season starts to change, it gives us a little bit of new life. If we've never shared time and space together before, my name is JC Lippold and it is a gift to spend time with you. And I will remind you of that every single time that we share some space. Mon Lindy.
How are you, my friend? I don't know if we've shared space and time together before. Cindy joy. There's my old friend, doctor Susie Anila. Oh, my gosh, y'all. It's so great to see y'all. I say this every single time. It's like. It's like the slot machine. All of a sudden you hit the jackpot and you see people come on in and say, let's spend some time together. It's a powerful moment. Well, hey, on Tuesday we talk about building community. What does that mean? I like to think of it as anytime humans spend time and space together, that's building community.
I've spent the ten ams talking about the outward facing click, which is kind of the macro community, taking something that you really care about and has people a part of it and then turning it outwards. So for people who aren't a part of it yet, they can feel a part of it, they can be a part of it. And then in a couple of hours, you're going to see Doctor Leslie Bop on. And Doctor Leslie wonders with her cup of coffee. So get yours ready. Talking about that one on one relationship development. So the outward facing click.
Well, I'm sitting outside cause I just finished a conversation with a woman named Ann Rodenberg. We had never had coffee before. We'd never had a conversation one on one before. But we are both graduates of speak wonder. How are you, my friend? I love my tangential moments when all of a sudden I see another one of you enter the live stream and it just. I can't not say hello to you. So Ann and I are both graduates of the same master's program. We both went to Augsburg University's Master of Arts in leadership program.
Honestly, the most amazing program I could ever imagine. Anne and I have both felt very called to talk about this program with. With other people anywhere and everywhere. Well, Ann graduated in 2016. I graduated in 2021 or 20 222-021-2021 and we both have very different paths. Ann works for an organization called the Wilder foundation doing big Fundraising. Wilder foundation does awesome things for people and families, and that's what Ann does. But I've been in the same room with Ann a couple of times, and we both have been people who the program has said, hey, JC, Ann, can you come and talk with prospective students?
Can you come speak at this alumni event? Well, you may not know this about me, because I know I present as kind of an extroverted person, but I'm a pretty big introvert and I don't talk to other people very easily, which is why talking into a screen like this is kind of more comfortable for me. Anyways, I.
