What a beautifully thoughtful article! Perfect for every content creator!
I love your coined phrase, Outsourced Epiphanies! The stickiness of it will help remind me to follow these two big takeaways from your article:
-And this was happening so often that it got me thinking, "Can I turn this into a system? Can I make it easier for everyone to access these breakthrough experiences?"
-Document and Reflect: Encourage members to record and document their breakthroughs and reflections for future reference and inspiration.
So happy I got to read this insightful article of yours! Jenny

I like this idea a lot Danny. And I fully agree that it’s crazy powerful to get together with likeminded people have a conversation in a breakout room. I have experienced many moments like that where I felt I leveled up by being in that room.
Having experienced that I have put some thought into how one might re-create those. I have found so far that it’s very hard to do it outside of those communities.
James Clear had something really wise in one of his newsletter editions a long while back, (paraphrasing here since i’m sure it was more concise from him)“everyone wants to make friends but you can’t just go out and set out to make friends. You make friends on the way to something else.”
I think that applies to this, Ive found it hard to have people unlock crazy potential in each other without the shared context of all of us trying to accomplish something similar.
But I will keep looking at this, see if there are other ways. I am very interested in this idea and I appreciate you writing about it.
I absolutely agree. A unifying agent is needed to form the bases of the community, and a common interest is the most logical element for this purpose.
I think the key here lies in the desire to spread this idea that "together we go further", and to encourage initiative in the various "tribes" spread across the internet.
I do not exclude the offline reality, but online it is undoubtedly easier to achieve this, as physical and geographical barriers are knocked down, so more people with similar interests are easily found together.
Building communities is a service not only to the community itself, but also to society in general, as more and better ideas shared with the world only make it a better place to live.
I am also very focused on this topic, and I feel that my mission is to facilitate this dissemination of the benefits of online communities.
I'm sure we will find ways to collaborate on this field, which will only prove that we are right about this idea! :)
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts about this!
