While the currency of the 21st century is sharing information, the sheer abundance of digital technology is providing a bridge to share human experiences and become a 'Human Highlighter'.

My philosophy on building and maintaining an online community, a hub of information, a starting point for creating insightful, collaborative discussions is below. Let the ideas win.

1. People:

Connecting over a common person relative to that event or perhaps an anecdote about similar people in common.

2. Events:

After meeting said people, events are attended together. Sometimes by intention, other times by consistency. Ideally connecting with individuals that follow the same path as yourself. Hence, 'takes one to know one'. This is the beginning of a shared experience.

3. Ideas:

Where bonded people end up - the creation of ideas to create new stories, events, ideas. Humor becomes evident here. Passionate ideas engage new people into the cycle, and allows to the process to begin anew.
