History has shown that creative geniuses usually hangout in the same cities at the same time.
Plato, Socrates, Pericles, and Thucydides were all in Athens around 300 BC.
Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Donatello were all in Florence in the mid 1400s.
Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Nashe were all in London in the early 1600s.
Paris in the early 20th century housed figures like Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Salvador Dalí.
In the 1920s, The Harlem Renaissance spread as New York City became a cultural center for African American writers, artists, musicians, and thinkers including Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Duke Ellington.
Silicon Valley in the late 20th century had a concentration of new technological innovators and entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin.
In every creative industry you will find this phenomenon of creative geniuses gathering to feed off of each other's energy.
Today, we live in a digital world.
Yet, there’s nowhere online that’s a place for creators like us to thrive.
But honestly…
The closest I’ve felt to being in the creative space of my dreams has been having conversations with all of you.
I just finished responding to thousands of emails…
Many of you hit "reply" to my newsletters. And I read every single one.
Sometimes it takes hours. Sometimes weeks. But I always make my way to them.
And in those replies, I’ve had some of the most beautiful conversations of my life.
A Grammy-winning musician explaining the heartbreak story behind the winning song.
A Disney animator walking me through the creative process behind one of my favorite childhood movies.
A 16-year-old in India fighting against cultural pressure to keep their love for art alive.
An 81-year-old art teacher (his oldest student is 92!) finding new creative fire through my videos.
These stories…your stories…come from every corner of the world.
And now…
I want to build a space where you can connect with each other.
No algorithms force-feeding outrage.
No noise clouding your inspiration.
No systems muting your creative spirit.
Because when I asked what you needed most, one answer echoed louder than the rest:
“A real community of like-minded creators.”
Not another Facebook group collecting digital dust.
A living, breathing space where we connect, vote, build, and grow.
Together.
So here’s the deal:
I’m building it brick by brick.
And today, I’m looking for Founding Creators—the first core members of the World of Creatives.
