Designing moments that matter

Book Chat Invite: The Power of Moments

Hi Reader,

Think about a moment that made you feel like you belonged. Maybe it was something small—a handwritten note, a ceremony that marked a moment, or a ritual that caught you off guard in the best way.

Those moments stay with us.

Often these moments don't just happen accidentally—they can be designed.

Tomorrow (Wednesday, October 22 at 1pm ET), we're gathering in The Hive for a book chat about The Power of Moments by Chip and Dan Heath. We'll explore why certain moments stick with us, and how to intentionally create them in our communities.

The Heath brothers found that the most memorable moments share four common elements:

Elevation — they rise above the everyday
💡 Insight — they help us see something differently
🏆 Pride — they mark achievement or growth
🤝 Connection — they bring us closer together

When we craft experiences that surprise, celebrate, or connect, we help people feel something lasting.

You're invited to join us tomorrow as we explore how to create these moments for the people who matter to us. The world could definitely benefit from more joy, meaning, and connection.

We'll share reflections, favorite ideas from the book, and real-life ways we've seen small moments spark big change.

No homework required. This is a chat, not a book club. We'll use the ideas from the book to frame our conversation. Bring your curiosity, your stories, and maybe a notebook—you never know when a new insight will spark.

Unforgettable moments don't require grand gestures. They ask only that we notice the people in front of us—and lift the moment out of the ordinary.

Sometimes it only takes one small moment to remind us: this is why I'm here.

See you tomorrow,
Laura

Hi Reader, We’re three weeks into January, and the noise around life-changing goals and self-optimization is finally starting to simmer down.How do you measure success when you’re building a life on your own terms? Tomorrow at 1:00pm EST, we're gathering to talk about exactly that. We'll discuss Sahil Bloom's The 5 Types of Wealth, a framework that expands the definition of success beyond the narrow metrics we often default to—revenue, productivity, growth. Bloom breaks wealth into five...

Transform your mission into a movement A life is built in the ordinary Hi Reader, I've been thinking about what makes a good year. Not a productive year or an impressive year—but a year that feels good to live. And I keep coming back to this: our days shape our weeks. Our weeks shape our year. And over time, that's what builds a life. Instead of focusing only on big, audacious goals, I've been more interested in the smaller, tangible things that quietly add up—daily habits, weekly rhythms,...

Transform your mission into a movement What Do You Actually Want? (Not What You Should Want) Hi Reader, I'm not feeling rah-rah about the new year. But I am feeling something that's starting to resemble hope—maybe resolve. A slow thawing after months of shock. I've written this newsletter less consistently than I'd hoped this year. I kept waiting to feel more certain, more energized, more something before showing up here. But the truth is, there's been so much bad news. So much upheaval. So...
