There are many examples of human connection, storytelling, and community building initiatives, but what they all have in common is finding an excuse to connect. Distilling these examples into 4 core principles, you can apply these principles to find your own excuses to connect. From conversation-based card games to challenging yourself to talk with a certain amount of people, it's all about making meaningful connections easier. The term "excuse to connect" can become part of our common vocabulary. By finding and creating excuses to connect, you are a Connector. The ultimate vision is to empower and connect Connectors, and together, we can transform our lives and the lives of others, one connection at a time.
