To the people who have ever felt like they didn’t fit in…

Many of the best things in life are in between

Not one or the other, but a unique combination of both. To name a few, airplanes, music festivals, and pizza are the result of interdisciplinary combination. Okay, the pizza one might be a little bit of an exaggeration… but pineapple and ham anyone?

The world today is built for specialization, but more interconnected than ever

College was designed for this. Declare a major, graduate, and work your way up the ranks. However, our work does not live in silos. Great design fuels the creation of new machinery and technology. Psychology and marketing influence the food we eat and the music we listen to. Staying in your lane just doesn’t cut it anymore.

There is an opportunity in today’s society for interdisciplinary education. And what is the purpose of learning if not to communicate, connect, and create with others in life?

I decided to create the in-between.

Introducing Concepts of Life: A space dedicated to applying specialized knowledge more broadly in our lives

Our goal is to connect people from different disciplines, sparking conversations you might not otherwise experience daily. We take concepts from the disciplines of science, business, art, technology, and humanities, framing them in the context of life. These articles are crafted to provide insights and takeaways that you can carry into life immediately. Through our shared understanding of the concept, we hope to impact your life and the ones around you.

If you’re someone who…

• Learns through practical life lessons inspired by academia and industry

• Thinks across different disciplines and perspectives

• Values ideas and the relationships between them

• Enjoys sharing your unique perspective with others

• Creates or builds in an interdisciplinary setting

• Or is looking to experience the true richness of the world we live in

Let’s start living in between, one concept at a time!

I’ll meet you in the middle 🤙🏻
