Knowledge, Learning, Community

Ann (just Ann, no last name that I can find) discusses a question posted by Karen Costa on LinkedIn: "How do you rationalize sharing your work and words with the world amidst this chaos?" I like the response: "Maybe the answer to some of this is soup. Sure LinkedIn is not going to like supporting a post on soup in its algorithm, but I am telling you the ROI of soup is higher than any pyramid scheme... So if you can, go make soup and share it with someone, there is always someone who needs soup. Soup is the local impact we need right now." That's how I feel as well. I'll share to LinkedIn because some people are there who could maybe use what I have to offer, and as for the rest of the noise and pollution on that website, well, I also offer some quieter nooks where people can still feel caught up and in touch.
