Saturday morning community
Growing up as a child of the 90s in the US, Saturday morning cartoons were a common staple. I've happily replaced Saturday morning cartoons with Saturday morning community, although the former will always hold a soft space in my heart.

If you're feeling particularly communal this Saturday morning, consider taking this 12-ish minute community survey about your experience in the industry—the survey is an input to Uncommon member Camilla Ferreri's master's thesis on Community-Led Growth, and its outputs will be shared back with all of us. 

And now we interrupt this Saturday morning programming for more community content. 

With great affection,
