Want a Thriving Community? Share More, Own Less, and Join the Economy of Human Connection with Sash Milne

I knew it instantly: she's my kind of people (and probably yours, too).

Sash Milne knows how to rapidly connect community with simplicity and is practically living in my vision for SimpleREV.

Consume less. Share more. Be intentional everywhere and at all times. Treat people as humans, not potential transactions.

I tell ya, I was overwhelmed with gratitude after watching her ABC Open interview and reading her related blog post. I mean, she gets straight to the heart of what's important – to the simple-living movement and timeless community-building efforts – when she wrote:

A community is a place where the desire to share is greater than the desire to own. – Sash Milne

So I watched her TED Talk (and might have physically cheered at one point). I listened to other interviews and curated gems like this:

The Economy of Human Connection is about putting the needs of people before the importance of the profit we can make from them … Instead of [asking], ‘How much money can I make from this, or how much money am I going to save from this?' think, ‘Who can I help by doing this or how is this going to bring me closer to my community?' – Sash Milne

I could weave a rich tapestry with all of Sash's quotes.

If you want to change [the world], you have to do it where you live. – Sash Milne

But I'd rather you hear from this pillar of simplifying, organizing, and mesmerizing yourself.

Connect with people before you connect with their product. – Sash Milne

I'm not sure what else to say other than “Just click play.” You, my friend, are in for a treat!
