Facts:

“A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For

millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a

tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.” ― Seth Godin, Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
