An exploration zone is important for visitors. This is how we protect insiders while giving outsiders a chance to participate, to learn more about our community, and to decide whether it’s right for them. We can encourage explorers by sharing some specified activities and areas, but not all. These are outer ring activities. Areas reserved for insiders (whether formal or informal) are inner ring. The vast majority of activities can be outer ring. The larger the outer ring, the more outsiders can evaluate a community before seeking membership. It’s important to have an inner ring, too, as this gives shared-values explorers something to aspire to and provides that important safe space for your members.
The Art of Community

Over the last 40 years, I have witnessed this decline in individual health-care expense through my work with thousands of patients. In fact, 50 percent in 12 months is a poor response, as most people improve health significantly much sooner, with health-care expenses reducing more than 50 percent. In chapter 6, I referred to a study demonstrating that the majority of children tested reversed chronic metabolic disease indicators, such as high levels of cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and insulin, liver dysfunction, and other problems, in just ten days by giving up foods with added sugars. Numerous other studies demonstrate that low-carbohydrate eating can quickly improve many risk factors such as hypertension, high blood cholesterol (total and LDL), high blood triglycerides, high glucose and insulin, and others. Reducing these markers in adults and children means less medication, fewer doctor visits, less frequent disease, and ultimately less money spent. Most health-care dollars go toward treating preventable conditions that were not prevented, despite the cost of prevention being very cheap. Prevention through self-health management would involve individuals making healthier choices. Based on how easily and quickly this can happen, a dramatic turnaround of health care can really happen, and soon.

Fontanella taught me something else, too. He pinpointed the release as the most important aspect of shooting. Therefore, which fingers leave the ball last is critical. For him, that was his middle and ring fingers, which was different than what the experts taught. I tested it and found it worked quite well. Learning of an entirely different shooting method caused me to question everything I had previously learned about shooting a basketball. It was a watershed moment.
