On this week’s episode of Campfire, Jackson is joined by the four founders of the Co-Creation Castle, Michael Wedd, Micky Wolf, Shadman Uddin (@ShadmanMUddin), and Amy Jo (Josie) Weaver (@amyjo_weaver). The CCC in San Diego was an experimental co-living cohort designed for those who wanted to build, co-create, and live vulnerably with other passionate people.
After starving for social interaction for a year, four Venture for America alums decided to host an experimental in person gathering of creatives and entrepreneurs in San Diego. They devised coronavirus protocols, organized teams to manage household tasks, and worked together to create art. Over the course of 5 weeks the Co-Creation Castle cohort members managed to start companies and forge life-long friendships. Tune in to hear how they managed the logistics, built community during a time devoid of it, and created a space for vulnerability and co-creation to thrive.

Nestled in the California Desert, Mars College can be thought of as a pop up city. It rises from the sand, disassembles, and then comes back. This week, Jackson sat down with Gene and Freeman from Mars College.

Campfire is a podcast where host Jackson Steger interview leaders that are building new cities and other new models of living for digital nomads, creators and remote workers. Campfire is produced by Cabin, which is building a new kind of city for creators called a network city. Our community is developing a global coliving network of physical locations that we call neighborhoods. Episodes of Campfire include conversations with folks building cities on the ocean called seasteads, interviews with people building new countries, like a digital nation for the African diaspora, discussion with a new special economic zone in Latin America attempting to be the Dubai of the Caribbean, and many more. The internet, remote work, solar power, the creator economy and a dozen other innovative trends enable us to coordinate in ways that many generations before us couldn’t. We can now reimagine how we live. It’s an exciting time to be a builder -our limitations are bound only by our own imagination. We hope you enjoy listening. You can DM us with feedback on Twitter @jacskonsteger or @creatorcabins or recommend guests for the show and we’ll reward you in our native token. And if want to live or create cool things near nature with other thoughtful people nearby, you can learn about us by visiting cabin.city Thanks for listening - we’ll see you on the trail.
