Great talk, Glen!
I've been away for a while now, partly to the fact that I've lost the sight of my WHY and mainly focused on the WHAT. I can see from my blog that it started with the deployment of Steemhunt. On top of that, I was somewhat busy throughout the summer with family vacations, camps etc.
I can't help but notice the overall theme of your talk - WHY, HOW, WHAT. It just so happens that I'm in the process of reading: Start with WHY by Simon Sinek. I'm about halfway through the book now. You are talking exactly about what's in the book. Maybe because you read it, too?
In any case, there are examples of several successful companies such as Apple, Southwest Airlines, Continental Airlines and even the Wright brothers. All of these knew their WHY and were focused on that more than on anything else.
I can see that there is a strong core in this community that has their WHY perfectly figured out. If we couple this with the network effect, which has proved to be very impactful (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube...), I think we are very much at the beginning. Still the early adopters.
