Bryan, I told you before we started the show that I was really excited about your book because as attorneys, in our firm, and I advocate the power of connection and making people understand that they need to be more open and sharing and connecting. Unfortunately in our space, it’s not happening. That’s why I’m excited that you’re here today kind of give us more of an in-depth as to what is Shareology, why did you write a book, and kind of dive into more about the concept as you talk about in the book.
Before that, why don’t you just tell us a little bit about yourself and how you started doing what you’re doing.
Bryan: Well, the book is branched out from my … it’s an extension of my first book called Human to Human. There’s no B2B, or B2C, it’s human-to-human. That book was really exciting and also … it was a very successful book and I had a lot of good times with … just how much the message was resonating.
I decided to write this book really as an extension of that. H2H was a [500 foot 00:02:49] level kind of book and this is really down a little bit more in the trenches. It’s the art and the science of sharing but it’s really all about how sharing powers to human economy. Everything that we’re doing right now is really all about sharing, connecting, building with each other.
As such things like Airbnb, and Uber, and all these different shared services using all these different ask, connecting people, connecting services to people. Everything really is about sharing that experience or sharing the service or sharing the product and trusting each other out of all these different things. It’s really kind of heightened what we are already are about – what we’ve already done in the past which was really built on relationships. It’s just to put a magnifying glass to it.
