A thought provoking question from a medical student today as we discussed #CrazySocks4Docs:
“We all walk around wearing socks & I know it’s gotta do with mental health, but really...does it make any difference? What’s the use?”

Being an entrepreneur comes with a sense of freedom & none of the institutional limits on creativity. Yet unless I'm consulting within an organisation or connected to community, it can feel lonely & isolating. Online communities are great for support but it's not enough.

I've seen the negative effects of people investing all their time/energy in networking online & draining group dynamics. I realised that one of my values is to participate in collaborations that involve physical meet ups or at least in the potential of physical meetups. 2/
