Orchestrated Connecting’s Book: Coming out late summer ‘25

Orchestrating Connection

How to Build Purposeful Community in a Tribal World

Written by David Homan and Noah Askin

Orchestrating Connection is a powerful blueprint for radically rethinking our social world. Based on human psychology and sociology research and told through real stories from business owners, philanthropists, and everyday heroes, we present a methodology that provides a practical, principle-driven approach for creating your community, whether that means your personal network or a massive global collective.

The practices within our community-building model include the art of bolstering one’s relationship value, quickly building trust, and tapping into the most underutilized (and under-appreciated) currency in our world—the power of the right introduction.

We encourage you to see how developing your “give and give” mentality, a thoughtful approach to gratitude, a touch of curiosity, and a willingness to be vulnerable can change our world.

Our book will be published by Morgan James, a 20 year veteran in the book publishing world. They are a partner through-out the launch, helping place our book with reviewers, book stores, and on-line retailers to create a successful release.
