Introductions, connections, and serendipity

05/26/2010 in Uncategorized

I’m a huge proponent of making introductions. If you’re familiar with Malcolm Gladwell’s work, you’ll know what I mean when I say that I’m a connector. Often I’m able to make an introduction that leads to someone getting a job, doing business, or generally reaching a goal.

The latest product of this habit apparently assisted with the logistics behind bringing LessConf 3010 to Atlanta: My friend Allan Branch wrote a post today on what he learned from planning LessConf.

It’s a great feeling to help great people do awesome things by doing what comes natural.

Willie, You are the man. Thanks for all the intros you’ve done for me in the past. It’s been huge. :)

My pleasure, Nick! More to come…it’s a small world :)

Willie, I am so glad you told Jen Bonnett and me about Allan, Steve and LessConf in 2009. You are one heck of a connector.
