⭐ Hello superstar. Things are picking up already, aren’t they? About time.

This week, I’m introducing a new format for Curating Connection and sharing juicy resources: a parting prescription for America, what we need to redesign in 2025, and more.

As FYI, I’ll be migrating the newsletter to Substack. Please bear with me while that’s finished, my tech skills are pretty much limited to Excel.

Dare to connect,

Andy

RESOURCES, EVENTS, AND DEALFLOW

After a year of working on connection, I have come to the conclusion that building a more connected world starts with:

• Inspiring and enabling change at the individual level;

• Fostering local, in-person relationships; and,

• Unlocking blended capital financing (nerd alert).

What that means for Casa Cinco is that I will be doubling down on:

• Finding and curating connection resources;

• Planning and executing local, in-person events; and,

• Sharing opportunities for philanthropy and private investments in community-building and connection (aka ‘blended dealflow’, or dealflow).

In short: Curating connection through resources, events, and dealflow.

For now, the weekly newsletter and podcast will focus on resources and I’ll be updating you soon on events and dealflow. Any reflections, stories, or cantaletas will be shared on an ad-hoc basis (I LOVE writing these, but the weekly cadence was diluting their quality).

At Casa Cinco, I want to inspire and enable you to live a more connected life. If I can help you and your neighbor do that, we can start building a more connected world.

Have suggestions for me and Casa Cinco? Reply to this email and let’s connect.

Abrazo,

Andy
