pull down to refresh

Hey stackers, sorry for the tardiness, but I wanted to say, I had a great time with the the Broken Money book club on Wednesday. I'm grateful to have had a venue where it was possible to do this and have some really interesting conversation. Not sure where else on the internet it could have happened.
I'm also honored by the sats contributions to the post, including one especially generous zap by a benevolent stacker. Thank you! I will re-distribute all of it it into the SN economy over time.
Three more things:
  • If you didn't get a chance to check out the comments, they're still live, and I still monitor them. The discussion is evergreen, so if you're interested in the topic, it won't go out of date, next week or in a decade. (Well, maybe some of the questions will be answered in a decade.)
  • Feedback on the format is welcome -- I'll put a comment soliciting feedback in that post. If you participated, how could it have worked better? If you didn't participate but are in the 'target audience' for such a thing, what could have got you over the hump?
  • I'll plan to do part 2 of the book two weeks from the last one, on 10-18. I'll ping the people who commented on the original post.
Again, thanks for exploring some of these ideas with me and the other stackers.
Im only thru chapter one...gotta crank it up b4 the next meeting! šŸ˜

I believe in you!
Also, feel free to pounce into the part 1 discussion and share your thoughts, or maybe engage with the material in the book in a different way.

Thank you for the effort you personally have put in. See you in 2-weeks!

Hi there! I enjoyed the discussions thoroughly. You offered me the space to articulate what I had always felt but never put into words. Also, itā€™s very thrilling to find some Stackersā€™ opinions agree with mine
One suggestion for more engagement. Perhaps some questions can be short. Describe in no less than six words how you feel about X in the book. I think short opinions may prod some people to get out of their comfort zone n add their two satsā€™ worth. Also offers a great balance to the longer discussions

Great idea -- a mix of elaborate set ups and shorter impressions / reflections will let more people find a comfortable place. Will do this one for sure.

I thought it was great, especially for a first attempt. We'll all get more used to doing these if they become more common and that should increase engagement.
