Meet up! | 26 Ideas for 2026 | Willie Nelson at 92 | Sharpen Your AI Skills | How to Make Friends | Face Your Fear. Ride a Big Wave 🌊
In a world where our lives and work are driven by technology, we scroll, we like, and we Zoom. And yet, too often we become less connected.
It’s time to prioritize meeting and connecting in real life.
There is unique energy being together in person. It’s the difference between streaming a recording or feeling the vibration of live music, a theater production, or sporting event.
Meeting in person is an OG superpower.
Take a walk or enjoy a coffee with a friend, client or colleague. Visit a museum, enjoy a concert, or join the crowd in a stadium for a big game.
I’ll meet you there. Let’s go! 🎸
