About this listen

In a world obsessed with transactions and quick wins, what would happen if we rebuilt our networks around trust, generosity, and imagination? In this episode, discover a radically human approach to connection that turns relationships into lasting community, opportunity, and impact.


In this episode, Kevin and David Homan discuss:

  • Superpower of being a “super connector.”
  • Curiosity, vulnerability, and diversity as pillars of connection
  • From transactional networking to an orchestrated community
  • Personal journey, setbacks, and self-work behind the methodology
  • Building Soar and scaling trust-driven, privacy-first relationships with tech

Key Takeaways:

  • Real connection starts when you are more curious about others than they are about themselves, and are willing to respond with genuine vulnerability.
  • Moving from “Can you help me?” to “If I help you, will you help someone next to me?” transforms linear networking into a three-dimensional community.
  • Generosity and gratitude are not soft skills; they are the engines of trust, reputation, and long-term relationship value.
  • Diversity in a network—across background, culture, geography, and perspective—is not just moral; it’s strategic and exponentially increases opportunity.
  • Technology can either extract value from your relationships or protect and amplify them; building systems where your data is yours changes how connection and community scale.


"We don't understand what's missing in connection until the right person at the right moment is there." - David Homan
