A reminder of our FOUNDING PRINCIPLES.
Refuge A fulfilling human life is balanced between time spent problem solving, focused on goals, and time spent exploring and discovering. Good People is a refuge from our relentless pursuit of our own ambitions. We come together to wander across the landscape of ideas with no destination, a love for novelty, the joys of unexpected learning.
Connection Community and friendship are vital human needs. Most modern cultures do a poor job meeting those needs. Good People builds connection between strangers through vulnerable and sincere conversations about a wide range of important and timely ideas.
You Be You What you may own or what you may have achieved isn’t most important to us. We do our best to leave condescension and hierarchies at the door. We are interested in the contents of your character, in the opinions you carry and in sharing them in a spirit of civility. All kinds of people from all walks of life, all ages, all ethnicities, sexual and gender identities, political and religious ideologies are welcome at our table.
Curiosity We ask that you temporarily put down the things you are most ardently pursuing. Through curiosity, we build trust and rapport. Do your best to let go of your agenda, listen and offer what you sincerely think and feel. Whatever you want most, from a romance to an investor or donor, to hiring or getting hired, is not why we’re here. You can pick that up again tomorrow.
