Limari Navarrete on Weaving Connection, Translating Community to Business, and Elemental Balance

Host Liz Sweigart first met community strategist Limari Navarrete in the Redwoods of Northern California at DWeb Camp 2023, when they were placed in the same nightly “weaver group”. In this episode of Past the Profile they trace that serendipitous meeting to today, covering Limari's work with the Decentralized Identity Foundation, her passion for tech-for-good open-source projects, and a parallel journey into 500-hour yoga and Ayurveda training.

Highlights:

• How introvert–extrovert chemistry turned a random campsite pairing into an enduring professional friendship.

• What Limari learned about belonging while managing global open-source communities and why “people decide if it’s a community, not the brand.”

• Why artistic outlets (drawing, music, ukulele) keep her creative engine running in tech spaces.

• Practical tips for “translating community” to CEOs, marketers, and finance leaders who speak different success languages.
