A Different Way of Building Trust and Community: KAUSTAV GHOSH
Foot Solutions, 2620 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC, CAIn a city like Vancouver, it’s easy to attend event after event, meet many people and still go home feeling like you didn’t truly connect with anyone. Do you feel that networking has become more efficient, yet increasingly surface-level and transactional?
KAUSTAV GHOSH shares a different way of building trust and community—one rooted in giving, shared experiences, and showing up as people first, not job titles. Drawing from his experience building the Vancouver Potluck Community and facilitating story-led spaces through ISupportYourBusiness, Kaustav will explore how simple acts of sharing food, stories, time, and presence can transform strangers into meaningful, lasting relationships.
What he started as small, informal gatherings has grown into a thriving, word-of-mouth community experience in Vancouver—built entirely on the idea of giving first.LEARN
- Why the most meaningful communities are built by those who give first
- How removing titles changes the way people connect
- What helps strangers open up—faster than traditional networking
- How shared experiences like food and storytelling naturally build rapport and trust
- Simple, practical ways to create deeper connections in your own life or community
KAUSTAV GHOSH is a global networker on a mission to touch 10M+lives and spread smiles. He is a coach, counselor, business consultant, storytelling evangelist, brand builder, and the founder of ISYB.
