“Releasing your ideas early and often” is I think one of the biggest shifts for people to comprehend – the concept that just doing so can create a chain reaction leading to awesome things. It’s the uncertainty that gets ’em, I think.

I’m stuck in this rut right now since I recently (wondering how long I can say that – it’s been 9 months) moved to The Netherlands from the states. I can find so many people and educators around my passions and interests online that it has made me lazy in cultivating those f2f relationships I know are important. I have made some online connections with other expats that have turned into f2f meetings, but nothing substantial. I need to get better about cultivating relationships geographically in these virtual spaces so the likelihood of an in-person meeting (and maybe more) increases.
