The Connection Experiment

We are hosting an evening of real conversation, and this time we're testing a themed night: a conversation about the people in our lives and how we show up for them.

Not just romantic partners. Friends, family, coworkers, or even the AI we talk to. This is a space for reflection, not advice. We're here to notice ourselves a little more attentively, with a stranger who is doing the same.

Since our first online session in August, over 500 people have signed up for our events, and most of the room stayed past the official end just to keep talking.

What to Expect 🪑
You'll spend 1 hour with a small group in paired video conversations. Here's how it works:

• You'll be matched into breakout pairs with 3-4 different people over the session 🔄
• Each pair gets ~12 minutes and a thoughtful question to explore together 💭
• You'll both ask AND answer, equal time, full attention 👂
• Camera on is encouraged but optional — full presence either way
• You will get the question list right at the beginning of the event. Start anywhere, skip anything that doesn't feel right.

A taste of the questions 💬
We'll look at the small, honest details, with both light and deep questions to choose from:

• Who was your best friend when you were a kid? Are you still in touch?
• What's your "tell" when you're annoyed? What could the other person do to make you feel better?
• What's a "no" you received that turned out to be a gift?

Why We're Gathering 🌱
In a world where we're more "connected" than ever, genuine conversation has become surprisingly rare. This isn't about networking, professional development, or problem-solving. It's about something simpler and more nourishing: the experience of truly listening and being heard. This is what some of our past attendees said:

• "I signed up just to kill some time, and I was pleasantly surprised."
• "Very easy to turn a stranger into a friend"
• "I don't have anybody to tell my day to. As much as people are now talking to their AIs, I still think there's a huge value in connecting with people"

This is a free preview of a longer in-person event we're running in NYC at the end of the month. Try it, tell us what you think, and if it resonates, we'd love to have you join us in person.

We're hosting an evening of real conversation. The kind that reminds you of who you really are, but rarely gets asked anymore.

What to Expect 🪑
You'll spend 1.5-2 hours with 20-30 people in a series of paired conversations. Here's how it works:

• Throughout the evening, you'll rotate through conversations with different people 🔄
• Each pair gets 15 minutes and thoughtful questions to explore together 💭
• You'll both ask AND answer, equal time, full attention 👂
• After each round, you move on to someone new. You'll have 4-5 conversations total

This time, we're slowing down. After previous sessions, the most common feedback is "I wanted more time." So this is a more intentional, longer version of our online evenings.

What to Expect 🪑
You'll spend 1.5 hours with up to 30 people on Zoom in a series of paired conversations. Here's how it works:

• Each round, you're paired with someone new in a breakout room 🔄
• Each pair gets 18 minutes (instead of our usual 12) and a few deeper questions to stay with 💭
• You'll both ask AND answer, equal time, full attention 👂
• 3 conversations total, with a short opening and group conversation together
• We encourage Cameras on, but it's optional 📷

Help Shape the Evening ✍️
After you book, you'll get a link to submit a question you'd love to be asked, or to ask someone else. I'll choose a few and include one in each round, shared anonymously, so part of the evening comes from the people in it.

Tickets: $7 early bird, then $10. The ticket keeps the room small and everyone in it intentional. If it isn't what you hoped for, message me, and I'll refund you, no questions asked.

Note Daylight saving time ends that morning, so double-check your clock.
