Jeddy Azuma, Founder & CEO of The Rising Man, a community based in Austin, sat down with us today to share his insights into communal living, familial bonds, and societal structures. He reflects on his experiences living with close friends and their families, emphasizing the challenges and rewards of collaborative lifestyles.

Dylan and Jeddy explore the concept of generational housing and its potential to address contemporary challenges like the housing crisis and social isolation. He discusses the impact of extended communal living on children, including the benefits of diverse adult influences in their upbringing.

They also talk about broader societal issues such as the housing crisis, zoning laws, and the need for innovative solutions that prioritize human connection over conventional norms -- envisioning a future where decentralized, village-like settings foster deeper connections and mutual support.
