To give proper credit here, Startup Babson is Ryan Dawidjan's brain child but I'm glad to be able to help get things up and running with him. Thanks Oriana.

The more connections and connectors we have in our community, the better I believe. And unless there is a profit motive of some sort, each connection made plays directly into the #payitforward ethos. But yes, there are other avenues to increasing one's 'connectivity.' Good point and I agree 100%, Jason. The more connections and connectors we have in our community, the better I believe.

I know a number of people that are great connectors that have more organically built their network through joining and taking leadership roles in specific organizations or because of their careers (usually sales or recruiting). The more we can turn Boston into a meritocracy, the better. In the end, all that really matters is getting everyone to buy into and embrace the #PayItForward mentality. Helping others isn't a transaction; it's a way of life. Thanks, -Jason James,
