S1: E12 - COVID-19 Response Template - "A new way of thinking." - Chris Dancy, David Peterson, and Armel Beaudry

In this episode, we dive into how makers are utilizing NoCode to
help their neighborhoods respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Chris
Dancy is known to many as “the Most Connected Man on Earth."
However, this Houston, Texas maker is using NoCode to bring calm
in the midst of chaos. He has used a NoCode stack comprising
of Airtable, Zapier, and Nextdoor to build the COVID-19
Neighborhood Volunteer and Support System.


Chris has built the tool as a template to help his neighborhood
as well as anyone trying to develop a localized response to the
pandemic. Right now, you can actually copy and customize this
template to suit your specific needs. 


We also have David Peterson from Airtable's London office, as
well as Armel Beaudry from Trebble.FM. We discuss the impact of
COVID-19; Chris' Habit Store for thriving in an environment of
information overload; and using technology to become the best
versions of ourselves. 


This episode was recorded about a week before the US government
approved a $2 Trillion Stimulus Package to combat COVID-19. We
also have video of this session, which we are to make available
on our YouTube channel, so you can watch Chris' demo.
