    One of the very few things I miss about social media is seeing HONY posts appear in the newsfeed. They were always a delightful and authentic highlight amidst a sea of forgettable posts filled with superficial drama, misery and cynicism.

    Brandon's passion and dedication deserves all the respect and appreciation - it's wonderful to see the endeavour reaching such new heights!

    I would highly, highly recommend this long-form interview of Brandon Stanton - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/321-brandon-stanton-th...

    He has a really interesting story yet he rarely tells it - he's too focused on telling the story of others.
