Meet Your Host: OneThousandClub Founder, Mel Miles
Before founding OneThousandClub, Mel spent 7 years at the Bill Gates Foundation managing a $250M/year malaria eradication portfolio. What stayed with her most from Gates' work was the role of networks: how she shaped flows of capital through Gates' relationships, and how the sum of local social ties helped move forward the global eradication goals. Her reflection collided with a Nature meta-analysis of 2.2M people I reviewed, showing social isolation increases all-cause mortality by 32% — comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
This inspired her to start OneThousandClub- a modern social club on a mission to replace status and amenities with human connection.
