[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve lived in several major metro areas, most recently here in the DMV. I’ve met so many people (mostly parents like me.) But everyone’s jobs seem a little blah. No one is passionate about their work or using their skills  to leave the world a better place. Some people like their jobs (“it’s interesting, I appreciate the flexibility”) but no one really wants to talk about their work.

[b]I am always reading about entrepreneurs, psychologists, lawyers, researchers and policymakers who are doing fascinating work and changing the world. Where are these people and how do I meet them in real life? [/b]

I run my own pretty unique business and I’m happy with my job and the impact I’m making (which I truly believe  can change the world  as we grow). But I just feel so alone because none of my friends or acquaintances get my ambition, my interest in figuring out complex problems or trying to create something new that makes a huge impact.

I know a lot of amazing people who want to make an impact, and enjoy talking about it. But mostly through ... work. Which I myself have been passionate about. [/quote]
