These Orion3 Family Jeffersonian Dinners are always my favorite.
The main reason for that is because it validates my WHY for building what I'm building: Bringing great people together, who have had all different types of life experiences, share some of the most intimate aspects which have defined their perspectives on life.
LISTENING to each other about the experiences, trauma, hardships, and struggles to understand their views on life is what real empathy is.
The world may seem divided when we look externally and see what's put in front of us. There are a lot of people who benefit from that division, and I have zero control over that.
But I have 100% control over how I react to what happens externally and all of my focus, all of my energy, is focused on the people who are in my #Orion3 Family. Last night was a GREAT example of the best in humanity!
Thank YOU @paolasprenzel and @bearcc1984 for picking up the tab on this one. This is the second one that Paola has sponsored because of her passion to build relationships and to learn from others because she wants to be the best version of herself to make the impact she wants in the world.
Thank YOU to this group of my Core Members for being YOU! Aimee Schuster, Amy Shelly, Dina Rollman, Manuel Mares, Joe Lakdawala, and Russ Badamo! Love you guys!
Thank YOU to my friend @descoura for setting this up at one of my favorites from @bokarestaurantgroup @cirachicago at the Hoxton with Missy Smiler. Our waitress recognized how deep the conversation was and was so helpful and kind for the 3+ hours that we were there!
There will be a lot more of these coming up by partnering with @kenclay16 and @foode_app
