I knew I had an opportunity to leverage that again and decided to start a magazine called Outlier Magazine where I could celebrate the people that I admire the most in the world, which are people that are unafraid to show up differently and unafraid to travel down that path that is less traveled. Despite the fact that they know it's going to be dark, it's going to be scary.

They're not going to have a lot of company. They're going to probably trip and fall and skin their knees. Those are the people I want to celebrate. And I'm now able to do that through the community. But I'm also able to do it through the magazine.

We're about two and a half years into the community. We have about 750 members in 35 countries, and we're five issues in on the magazine, and we have 30,000 subscribers, which I wasn't expecting that kind of growth. But I think people are really... They're thirsting for not only a digital magazine, but also a physical magazine. So we are both a physical magazine and a digital.

And I think people love to read about outliers. I think people love to hear the stories of those brave people who buck the system and are rebels or black sheep or mavericks. So those are the people I like to celebrate.

#514 Why the Best Networkers Don’t “Network” (And What They Do Instead) with Scott MacGregor, Founder of the Outlier Project

So when I started my company, Something New, 10 years ago, giving back to me was super important. But I had a huge problem. And the huge problem was I'm a total control freak. So I did not want to take any VC money because I didn't want anybody to tell me what to do.

So I'm like, how am I going to give back when I'm literally bootstrapping this business and I'm pouring every penny that I'm making back into the business? So I sat back and I'm like, well, what are my assets? And my assets were not a gigantic bank account that I could write checks to these organizations that I cared about.
