We’re no longer with these awesome people

This is all we’ve got

So, I decided to go on a little Exploration

with a question…

Break from the Office

Secure a Deal

Learn somethingMeet cool People

When we all ask this question…

…we create more ‘Collisions’

Collisions around shared interests

something Stephen Johnson describes in the awesome video Where Good Ideas Come From

These Collisions form inspiration

which we can draw on when we’re Not Together

Mobile phones might help with this

A longtime friend inspired this idea

He’s not unlike famous artists

Like this guy

Like this guy

(it’s Van Gogh)

They use their perspective as a means of telling a story

This story is the beginning of a collision

Why don’t we do the same thing?

This is helping us see it

And this is helping us hear it

A Recap

It’s at events

Where this happens

Being at one’s “Best” = Inspired Motivation

But it needs nurturing

I’m solving for ‘X’

by compiling people’s thoughts

by compiling people’s thoughts

What inspires you?

Why do you attend an event?

What’s missing?

Who are you looking for?

Whether you’re here

Or here
