[LBC #121] 2.0 is live! Anamaria Dorgo Playbook, Meetups and 120+ roles

Hi friends!

September is already buzzing with connection, collaboration, and fresh ideas. We’ve got new spaces to explore, events to join, and plenty of ways to get involved. Grab a cuppa and let’s dive in! ☕

First, we’re excited to welcome you to our brand-new home, Led by Community 2.0. It’s more than a platform—it’s a space where community builders can connect, create, and grow together. Pull up a chair, look around, and add your touch to a home shaped by all of us.

💡 Sign up and share your contributions—we’re building this together.
📖 Explore the Co-creating with Your Community Playbook by Anamaria Dorgo and discover frameworks, examples, and steps to help your community members become co-owners and create value together.

Meanwhile, our Local Chapter magic keeps spreading. The London Meetup last Monday (Sept 1) was full of connection, collaboration, and new friendships. Next up, more chances to connect locally: Tel Aviv on Sept 16 and Lisbon the following day, Sept 17.

📅 Check the full events calendar and join a Local Chapter near you!
📸 See the amazing pictures from the London Meetup on LinkedIn.

Looking ahead, the countdown is on for Loop: the 24-hour Global Summit (Sept 9–10). With sessions crossing every timezone, it’s your chance to drop in, learn, and connect with voices from around the world.

🔗 Save your spot and be part of this worldwide relay of ideas and inspiration.

And of course, Toronto Community Week (Oct 23–25) is just less than 50 days away! From workshops to the Unconference Plus, it’s packed with opportunities to collaborate and grow.

⏳ Don’t wait—grab your pass before prices go up!

Finally, don’t forget to join our Global Standup later today, our monthly ritual for community builders around the world. Hosted by Francisco Opazo, this casual session is a space to share wins, flops, and bold experiments happening across our network.

👋 See you there? RSVP now!

So whether you’re shaping our new home, gathering locally, or gearing up for global events, there’s a lot happening right now. We’re excited to see how you’ll plug in, contribute, and co-create with us. 💜

Sourabh’s community journey began in 2018 with a Goal Setting and Strategic Planning Course—and quickly grew into a global movement. From launching The Gaolchy Club, which helped participants achieve 2,000+ goals across 10 countries, to hosting offline events in India and evolving the community into SUCCESSBREWERY, he’s now connecting 7,000+ members, 20+ partners, and 200+ mixers worldwide. Along the way, he became a LinkedIn creator with 140,000+ followers.

For Sourabh, community is about bringing people together, helping them grow, and giving value first. His advice for newcomers? “Do it with all your heart—or don’t do it at all."
