6 Degrees of Q

North Connection (Service)

Joe Biden in 3 degrees

Barack Obama  in 3 degrees

Donald Trump in 3 degrees

For a visual mapping, pictures were shown of the 2nd degree connections in this entry. 

It's interesting to me that Dr. Fisher named 

the past three U.S. Presidents. 

I found that most of the fastest connections I made were through Presidents and leaders on the North (Service) and South (Exploration) compass points. 

East (Learning) Connection

Josh Waitzkin in 5 degrees

West (Athletics) Connection

Michael Jordan in 4 degrees

SouthEast + South (Exploration + North (Service) Connection

*Tom Segura in 5 degrees

* Potential 4 degree link through Andy Sieg as Tom's dad was a leader at Merrill Lynch.

This was the first time that I used all directions of my compass. I think I can get closer on this one but would add Josh Waitzkin to my list of interesting people to learn about.  

East (Learning) + South (Exploration)  Connection 

Magic Johnson in 4 degrees

* North (Service) Connection

Katie Porter in 4 degrees

South (Exploration) 

Elvis Costello in 4 degrees

* I will soon be meeting with US Representative Mike Levin to receive The Congressional Award Bronze Medal. Mr. Bray was an advisor for that (Personal Development) and that will move that to 3 degree connection. 

Quade Kelley in 1 degree

South (Athletics) Connection

Tony Azevedo in 2 degrees

Michael Phelps in 3 degrees

Thanks Jeremy for listing me. Knucklehead. But you also helped with me connection average, so thanks... great to meet you too. 

This is a fun real life example. 

 Because Zaky is a good friend with exciting goals, I invited him to events to meet leaders in the industry he is passionate about. 

Brian Crosby is a mentor for me, but he has also met Zaky at those events, making Brian now a 1st connection (dotted black line.) He also met Dan Santat while he was with me. 

I think Zaky will one day be an important connector point on my South (Exploration) life compass and I am excited for him. 

East (Learning)+ South (Exploration) Connection

Kevin Feige in 2 degrees

Kermit the Frog/ Matt Vogel in 4 degrees

Maddie was one of two people, (Meadow is the other,) that listed a person on the East (Learning)side of my compass. 

It says so much about her, and I really love that she picked an author.

For the experiment, Jacob is a one degree connection directly to David. 

The myth is not applicable. 

I really hope that David finds his elementary school friend sometime in the future.

D.B. Cooper/ Dan Cooper- No match

Fictional name. The myth is not applicable.

D.B. Cooper is the fictional name given to a man at the center of one of the FBI’s greatest unsolved mysteries.  Since his final identity is unknown, he’s a unicorn in the social system. But I agree with Brecken that it would be interesting to know his story.
