Jono Bacon is a fascinating personality who’s made a significant mark in the world of community management. I had him on my podcast a few years ago. His book, “People Powered,” delves into the intricacies of building and nurturing thriving communities. Bacon’s practical insights, drawn from years of experience, offer a roadmap for fostering genuine connections within online and offline communities.

As a former director of community at GitHub and Canonical, Bacon’s expertise goes beyond theory; he’s lived and breathed community dynamics. His podcast, “The Jono Bacon Show,” provides an intimate look into the minds of influential leaders across various industries. Bacon’s emphasis on human connection and the psychological aspects of community-building sets him apart in the field.

I appreciate how he acknowledges the challenges of community management while highlighting the immense value it brings. In a world dominated by technology, Bacon’s work serves as a reminder that at the heart of every community is a network of real, diverse, and dynamic individuals.
