Scott Langille

A collection of words people have used to describe me

you are one of the most intellectually curious and reflective people I’ve met

you enable others to be agentic; if not for you encouraging and supporting me about the design accelerator idea i would not have pursued it

you have a rare ability to gather a crowd around a vision and get them excited about it, as well as have the systems in place (/able to have them fall into place) structurally to see them through

very agentic. you wanted to make socratica in vancouver happen. you did and its an incredibly wholesome community. you told me you were going to make v2 happen, not even in just three weeks — we have videos and shit out and you have an entire committee assembled. i have rarely seen such speed even being in sf.

first time i met you, you literally whipped out your notebook... and then i was like wait. you can just. do that?

when i asked how to improve ux hub, you actually gave a piece of pointed feedback that focused on providing consistent value to members. this is far more than the feedback and attention most people tend to give. you didn’t remember this but i never forgot you after that.

You're extremely approachable despite your ambitious output.

in so many small things and people you seem to find so much meaning - I'm often left wondering "what is scott noting down?"

Your ability to restart is exceptional. I've seen you do so much, and leave so much behind with almost a supreme confidence that you will be capable to tackle whatever comes next. This includes:
- Doing your first startup, selling it
- Leaving Vancouver to go to SF. Then coming back to Vancouver
- Leaving everything to spend a term in Asia
- Dropping out of school

genuinely changed my brain chemistry

someone was giving a demo on computer hardware that was a bit too technical and information dense. you raised your hand and asked how this technology affected people’s lives. the way you looked for a branch of connection through shared human experience is an important lens for community builders to have.

your biggest superpower is bringing out other people's superpowers

you have an ability to actualize things on an incredibly short timeline

I would hire you in a second.

You're a remarkable individual who is looking to help others succeed, and I sincerely respect all you are doing.

You literally flew to Sri Lanka on a whim, built an app to enable deep reflection and self exploration, and rallied so many people around your missions in a way that feeds them as much as it feeds you!! This is all super special and not normal ahaha

you’re the hardest working person i know.

Your existence gives me courage. Even though we’re not in the same place, you make me feel safe enough to try hard things.
