Today, we arrived in St. Barths and shortly after we got off our boat we spotted a Louisvillian just a few feet away. His yacht shown below is called Touche and he actually left Louisville a few years ago. We chatted for a few minutes and we lived less than three miles from each other.
Most folks know that I use people around the world to accomplish different business tasks, so I agree with the “world is flat” theory, but it’s also amazingly small.
Update: I woke up today are realized the real lesson here is NOT that the world is small, but if there’s someone you want to meet professionally or network with… you CAN reach them. It’s relatively easy to break down the world of connections if you try. I’ll post soon about how I got lunch with my favorite author and he PAID for it.
