Last week, our CEO Nick Smoot was in North Dakota running a workshop called City Building as a Game: How to Design and Measure Flourishing Cities.

Cities need to be engaging in the process of helping people design a life around setting great goals, learning useful skills in service of the goals, and hosting and attending incredible events that all support this project-based way of living.

We work with communities to create Flourishing Plans. The design of Flourishing Plans can become more complex as you apply it to a city-wide economy, a real estate development, or a corporation, but the principles are the same— set goals, learn skills, and attend events all in service of the journey toward individual and shared goals.

Want to learn more? Reach out for your city or pick up a copy of the book.

In every thriving community, there is a focal point—a "vertical" that defines its identity, drives its economy, and shapes its future. This vertical could be an industry, a cause, or a shared vision that unites people and resources toward common goals. But identifying a community vertical is not just about economic development; it's about creating a sense of purpose and direction that can galvanize your community, attract new opportunities, and ensure long-term resilience.
