In this episode we dive deep into community and all the things that come along with community like boundaries, the power of connection, and tips for reaching out to new people for the first time.

Want to hear about a $5k per night resort in the desert? On today's episode of The Dangerous Creatives Podcast, my friend Jen Madigan joins us to talk about this luxury resort called Amangiri.
