DESCRIPTION
WE HAVE AN ENERGY PROBLEM1) Physical events cause people with like interests to congregate. 2) It's during this time that we get inspired by those around us – creating a unique ambiance3) But then Daily Life creeps back in and we lost this feelingI'm out to understand why and in turn be able to survive these energy spikes in life.TRANSCRIPT

And to make matters worse

And to make matters worse
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
