SpiritDAO’s Ron Rivers

In our experience we place all creatives; the artists, the dreamers, the community builders in this category of human experience.  Our guest for this two part episode exemplifies what we’re talking about. In a little more than an hour, Ron Rivers and co-hosts Scott Graves and Ryan Munn explored Ron’s development of digital solutions for aiding mission-driven organizations, really community building in Web3 that is meaningful to the human world, focusing on Ron’s work with AI for social impact (Nonprofit Navigator and Spirit DAO),  philanthropy reform, and the challenges of synthesizing beneficial aspects of various traditions while avoiding past pitfalls.  We talked about Ron’s work to develop The Church of Temporal Naturalism which we explored in depth, particularly in part II.  

But what we loved the most about talking with Ron was how he has spent the time necessary to understand and allow others into his understanding for why?  What’s behind the importance of understanding how and why we desire to respond to others needs.  His work is asking the question ‘can we have meaningful connection and build a more spiritual, less transactional world through the digital realm?  You hear us talk a lot on our podcasts about tech’s proper place in our society. Ron lives this every day. 

This discussion was insightful, exhilarating and left us with considerable items for self-reflection.  We hope it does the same for you as well.
