Connection is your greatest multiplier—if you know how to build it right.
Enjoy my conversation with David Homan, CEO of Orchestrated Connecting.
3 takeaways:
Connection is built, not found.
It starts with curiosity, vulnerability, and showing up consistently.
Give first—without keeping score.
The best relationships aren’t transactional… they’re intentional.
Gratitude compounds.
A simple thank you can strengthen a relationship for a lifetime.
Most people focus on outcomes.
The best focus on people.

A “Connector of Connectors:”
David Homan connects people. His primary skill in life is learning about people, helping them reframe and pitch themselves better, and then creating long-lasting relationships based on the premise that for everyone for whom he connects the dots, they would be described as an action oriented, natural giver with high integrity.
His book, Orchestrating Connection, published in 2025 is a USA Best-Seller, and his community of over 2300 global “superconnectors” represents family offices, venture capitalists, impact investors, entertainers, athletes, CEOs/Founders, community organizers, and a myriad of other incredible “occupations” that do little to describe how amazing each individual in this community of communities is. He launched his tech company, SOAR Connect in July 2024 and will be bringing out of beta to change the way we build relationships at scale with trust.
How David got here:
As a prior non-profit CEO, David raised millions for the arts while running a multi-national, multi-million dollar Foundation that survived near total destruction due to Bernie Madoff, and incubated a social impact film company for the Dalio Family Office. His impact advisory firm, Orchestrated Opportunities, partners with family offices, start-ups, funds, and nonprofits to builds new, structured ecosystems of relationships to strategically scale and expand their growth. Focal areas include mental health, health and wellness, climate change, art, philanthropy, social justice, and investing in women, among others.
David is a recognized classical composer whose music can be found by saying “Alexa–please play the music of David Homan” with 7 albums and radio play internationally. His latest project is a film/mini-series focused on a composer who loses his mind to Alzheimer’s.
He serves as an Advisor to NEXUS, the Catalyst Impact Foundation, Regeneration.VC, and as Board Chair of the Arthur Miller Foundation.
