Anna Anderson: Community, Grief and Giving Back

Danielle Newnham Podcast

Today’s guest is Anna Anderson, founder of Kindred – a co-working and events space in West London, beloved by founders and creatives alike.

Anna Anderson spent her career in social work before founding Kindred in 2019 to help forge human connection between founders. Her goal with Kindred is to create a space that feels inclusive and provides fellow founders and small businesses with the community they need to thrive.

In this conversation, we discuss all things community from how communities have evolved over time to what is needed in a post-pandemic world, how Kindred survived the pandemic and Anna also opens up about her childhood, religion and losing her sister tragically as well as how she sought joy following that grave loss. This is the post I mention in the episode from father Chris Anderson after Zoe's passing.

Anna believes very much in the power of community and is optimistic about our ability as founders to shape the future for the better and it’s this level of optimism and heart that we need right now.

So, please enjoy my conversation with Anna Anderson.
