Welcome!
If you found this blog you are probably familiar with the idea of Social Skydiving developed by Brad Bollenbach Here.
My name is Mike, and after stumbling upon Brad’s 30Sleeps blog back in January 2011, I was hooked. That’s as far as it went unfortunately, reading and fantasizing about how amazing it would be to have the ability to walk up to any stranger and make conversation with them. Deep down I was still too scared, but enough is enough.
It’s finally time I dedicated some serious energy to social skydiving and I thought creating a blog to chronicle my adventures instead of keeping a personal journal would be beneficially for two distinct reasons. The first is raising the level of accountability for accomplishing this goal. I live in Boston, MA and that means there are plenty of opportunities to engage strangers on a daily basis. However as opposed to using this as an opportunity I use it as procrastination and wait for the perfect situation, which never presents itself. Knowing there is an audience out there will help with creating a significant cost of failure. The second reason is to reach others like myself who read about personal development and social skydiving but haven’t yet begun their journey, like Justin did for me
It all begins tomorrow so stay tuned, and wish me luck!
-Mike
