Welcome to the Community Codex, the forum extension of Cornerstone Codex, our weekly Friday feature spotlighting people who are redefining their field or industry.

This group is where the conversation continues. Each week, we unpack the insights from the latest Codex article, share our own experiences, and exchange wisdom about what’s changing in our industries. It’s a space to ask questions, spark discussions, and even contribute your own “codex pages” to our growing archive of community knowledge.

Think of it as the living margins of the Codex: a place to reflect, connect, and build the bigger picture together.
