A Pledge That Can Unite Many
Your pledge goes a long way in growing
Operation-365's mission and allows us to purchase equipment
needed for our second one-year community building project—
"O-365," a stranger-meeting blogumentary.
365 consecutive days of interviewing absolute strangers as they share with us who they are and what they have to say to the world.
In just under three years Operation-365 has proven that the diverse truly do have many points of common ground. Through our projects, postings, essays, surveys, comments, challenges and viewer submissions we are continually learning a lot about our similarities, our cultures, and more deeply, ourselves.
Our start-up target of $2,400 will purchase the basic one camera set-up needed to get O-365 rolling. If we exceed that goal, the first $5,000 will be used to upgrade to a two camera set-up. Every dollar beyond that will be used to awaken our mission of unity in the following ways:
• A little more, we'll use it for web mastering, greater SEO, PR and paid marketing.
• A lot more, we'll interview more of America.
• And, if we are overwhelmed, we might even be able to reach out to other countries.

The 0-365 Blogumentary
Rain or
shine. Hot or cold. Healthy or ill. No days missed.
Beginning in February 2014, for 365 consecutive days, I will interview complete strangers, asking for their perspective on the world and how we should treat each other. People I have never met. Regardless of race, creed, gender,
religion or status, I'll approach them as they
really are and do my best to spontanously capture what they have to say.
Every day, for one full year, I will post a documentary account to YouTube, Blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and as many social and media channels as I can.
The goal being to use the O-365 blogumentary as a catalyst to grow our diverse and connected
community—a community that can stimulate our minds as it brings us all
closer together.
Welcome to Operation-365—a culture where the voice of one can be remarkable!

A Proven Track Record
Yes,
the journey proposed is not necessarily an easy one. I know this
firsthand after approaching thousands of strangers during my first
365-day photo-essay blog Project-365. From September 9, 2011 to September 9, 2012 it became an outreach that
never missed a day as it quickly took on a life of its own.
Its impact was profound as it grew organically on a daily
basis, ending up with a viewership from all corners of the planet (even featured by WordPress as one of the top ten daily blogs to follow in 2012).
I was rejected, screamed at, mocked and even spit at (but he missed me). But more amazingly (and more often), I found myself engulfed in meaningful
conversations, trust, loving gestures, and even personal tears with hundreds of
people I randomly met. People who joined together in a united cause as they contributed
to the project. It was a life-changing year, both for myself, and, I'm certain, for
the thousands of people who were featured in, commented to, and followed the daily posts of Project-365.
Now the work is continuing with Operation-365 and its 0-365 blogumentary.
