Designing Creative Communities

Your Town is Your Canvas. Learn How to Make Your Mark

By: Spud Marshall

Narrated by: Spud Marshall

We all want to be a part of a thriving community. But, few of us know how to meaningfully contribute to the places where we live, work, learn, and play. Whether you dream of launching a community innovation center, want to enhance your town with colorful murals, or are simply looking to strengthen relationships with your neighbors, Designing Creative Communities is the guide for you.

Award-winning community builder, Spud Marshall, coaches emerging leaders and community members alike through a simple process for how to transform your town into a creative place to call home. Filled with stories from Spud's work over the past decade, Designing Creative Communities teaches you how to actively create change and have a lot of fun along the way.

The audiobook will introduce you to the CANVAS Framework where you'll learn how to:

• Chart your path (and avoid getting an RV stuck in the mud).
• Ask probing questions (by jumping into an inflatable ball pit on the street).
• Name early adopters (and create a secret society).
• Visualize a prototype (while ensuring that bees don't escape into your home).
• Articulate your story (using a giant blue chameleon car).
• Sustain efforts with partners (without harming a single piano).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Hearing Spud’s story of perseverance and learning through failures was inspiring. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on prototypes. A great book for someone looking to blaze their own career with their passion and ideas! I enjoyed this book so much.

Must read for anyone who interacts w/ other human beings and deeply values relationship.

Spud has knocked it out of the park in this blueprint on how to impact change in the places that we respectively do life.

So encouraged by his knowledge bank of experience, fierce/relentless courage, communicational excellence and deep rooted heart for transformational change, with both individuals and communities as a whole.

Childlike Imagination

Spud has a fantastic affinity for turning heads and making maps. His book is direct yet humorous as he expands upon his life and those who helped him build it. Definitely worth the time and money. Be sure to look at the accompanying PDF too!
