Fawn Anderson is the spark of Our Friendly World, a multimedia platform pursuing social, racial, and economic justice through the art of friendship. Their podcast series thoughtfully discusses changing the world with the friends we show up for, seeking wisdom about our culture and experiences, and transforming the way we heal and build our worlds. Fawn explains this process briefly: “Words create coherent energy of compassion, appreciation, love, and respect for all life, ourselves, humanity, and our natural world. Friendship is the key to social/economic justice, health, joy, and peace for ourselves and our global family.” For more, you’ll have to check out the podcast at ourfriendlyworld.com!
Currently, Our Friendly World is in the top 5% of all worldwide podcasts and their new platform just celebrated its first birthday. In that time, they’ve come a long way “from just a few people knowing about us to having a loyal audience around the world.”
Fawn joined COventure Forward for help in achieving this spectacular growth, but also found a new family friend in her mentor, Mostafa Purmehdi. Mostafa has aided Fawn in creating cohesive plans for her business. Tools such as SWOT analysis have helped her create products and feel confident in her ideas.
While mentorship has gone a long way, Fawn is quite busy researching, writing, producing, recording, editing, and promoting the podcast. If anyone in the CVF community would be interested in assisting this project, email Fawn at creative@faimages.com.
Where is Our Friendly World headed next? “We are expanding our compassion/the art of friendship to younger audiences in the form of picture books. We are creating mini-courses for adults on remembering the art of friendship and creating retreats in communities to bring about the art of community.” Unless the delta variant throws a wrench in things, Fawn is looking forward to “taking the show worldwide and creating a friendship summit with world leaders.”
Finally, we asked if Fawn wanted to give any shoutouts: “YES! Mostafa Purmehdi! He is a compassionate genius teacher.”
