Sometime towards the end of high school the thought that I’d know someone that did essentially everything first came to me. Now old me is making something of that realized realization.
I believe the more we know about ourselves the greater the things we can accomplish.
My intention is to share information about what people do vs what we think they do. Bridging this gap between perception & knowledge shall help usher in an Understanding Age while reinforcing the human flourishing we all benefit from.
I know some great, amazing, hard-working and talented people, chances are you do to. I would like to introduce you to them & them to you. They may inspire you as much as they have me.
How do we “know” something & what makes that thing “great”?
This is subjective and will be the underlying foundation of this project. Now we have the What & Why answered, shall move on to the Who & How.
I have already began this project with written submissions or recoded conversations with people I have met in ways outside of their participation in this project. Here are some other current guidelines:
- Once someone has taken part, they too can bring someone they already ‘know’ into the project to discuss one of the many ‘great’ things they think that person does.
- Though there is no current maximum on participants, at least 2 people in each conversation must have met before participating.
- Conversation could be strictly topical but feel comfortable to meander & digress as long as you keep the main path in view.
- Participants can return to talk about as many ‘great’ things they want to talk about.
- Host should ask all the questions in the questionnaire but participants do not have to answer them in order or at all.
- Listening to & understanding what is said is not tantamount to agreeing with & advocating for it. This is not advertising or proselytizing, but simply conversations between X individuals about Y topic in Z forum.
I have a few more ideas, guidelines & suggestions that I shall keep you guys, gals & everything in-between updated on.
Next is the When. For now plan on releasing a recorded conversation every 6 days. Plan on the conversations not being time sensitive. I foresee eventual addition of live recordings that are then published on the 6 day schedule. Once submissions increase may move to an every 3 days schedule. (Or would you prefer a multiple conversations released every 6 days?)
Lastly Where. Bookmark this site. For now shall be updating posts here & will include any new sources for listening or reading to the conversations of this project as they become available. Any new platform shall have the library of previous recorded conversations updated until it catches up to the main schedule.
Check out the questionnaire page for the details about the conversations.
