Circle of Trust: Sarah Greisdorf and Sam Zelitch of Squarespace Circle
The duo behind the vibrant network talks about why community matters.
In this episode of No Surprises, we add to the nesting dolls of the season — the community of people who have recorded our podcast about community — with Sarah Greisdorf and Sam Zelitch. This dynamic duo helms Squarespace Circle, a network of Squarespace creatives, designers and developers, and executes the annual Circle Day conference. (Our favorite day of the year!)
We discuss the beautiful ouroboros of community engagement and company success, how not to take things personally, and why it’s better to have a community that’s loud — and possibly upset — than one that’s too quiet. We also hear the Circle Day origin story, and learn why Kelsey and Mal believe running a tech agency is like Chicago improv.
Finally, we reminisce about Argo Tea shops and learn that Sam’s firing may or may not have brought down the company.
