We definitely talked a bit about our desire to build more of a community around our sites so that people will be able to connect real time with more people. We saw teaming up as a good first step to do that. 2. We also discussed how originally getting in touch was both by happenstance and also magnetic as Jullien mentioned. Because all three of us have reached out to so many people, we eventually crossed the paths of our readers, began reading each others sites, and soon got in close touch. It’ll be interesting to see where things go from here. @MeiMei Great questions MeiMei. 1.

Two questions: 1) Did you guys talk about how best to connect with people? I understand the value in those connections, but how to make them more impactful and meaningful? Also, how did you find out that Marquis and Jullien were both Stanford alums, if you didn't go to school with them? Thanks!! MeiMei Thanks for sharing, Jeremy.

Though I do think that sometimes timing is really important. I definitely watched your post before writing mine and it pushed me to finish. Similarly, I'm going to have to figure out a way and the right time to get in the video space. So you're definitely still ahead of the game. <a href="#comment-1828">@Jullien Gordon </a>Thanks Jullien. You're right about doing what you love. If you can combine that with something you're good at, and then optimize the two, that's when things really start to get interesting. <a href="#comment-1834">@John </a>Thanks John. In my view, teamwork is all there is. No matter which field you are in. @Marquis Thanks for the good words Marquis. Though I do think that sometimes timing is really important.

@Jullien Gordon Thanks Jullien. You’re right about doing what you love. If you can combine that with something you’re good at, and then optimize the two, that’s when things really start to get interesting.

@John Thanks John. In my view, teamwork is all there is. No matter which field you are in.

This is a good post. And I especially like how you brought it back to teamwork. It's so critical in today's internet age. There's too much information out there and things changed too quickly not to be paired up. Yes Jeremy, I agree with the other comments on this one. This is a good post.

You are quick counter to Marquis' punch. It was so amazing how the Universe brought the three of us together yesterday. I think a shared sense of passion is the most powerful way to unite people—it was definitely a much more powerful force than our pasts or the prestige of educational institutions. People think of networking as this formal thing that happens at networking events, but I see it as more magnetic. When you're doing what you love, people naturally gravitate toward you.

Now that I think about the one that I wrote, I wish that I'd laid out my ideas as clearly as you did here. We definitely have to have another one of those meetings next time Jullien comes into town...I don't think I've come out of a conversation more excited than I did yesterday in a while.
