[quote=Anonymous][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.

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).[/b] 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.

You seem to be determined to change the world.
Curious to know what impact you have already made. How have you changed the world?

Hmm I think if I get too detailed, it’ll be immediately obvious who I am. Basically I came up with an innovative model for connecting people that is mutually beneficial and helps them develop skills, opens new opportunities (including better jobs), and forges real friendships. Because I’m a parent of young kids and want to work 40 hours and be involved with my children, I haven’t been growing too aggressively, we’ve reached about 50,000 people. [/quote]
