Melissa, this articulation of "vulnerability moment" is superb. Is this a widely known model or something that you've coined? It's exceptionally useful in considering how to build community, but also in identifying worthwhile business opportunities.
Thanks, Rick! I think a lot about the School of Life quote: "We only get close by revealing things which would, in the wrong hands, be capable of inflicting appalling humiliation on us.” And my experience of bonding in the Peace Corps over dodgy falafel and in Write of Passage over a horrible first draft that someone replies "yes, and..." to.
I think it is a core element of community building -- especially, if the goal is to build more community, faster. Which I think is an important goal. Maybe I should coin the phrase :)

You absolutely should. There's a very important life concept captured in this phrase that deserves to be highlighted and shared.
Seconding this. The concept and connections stemming from "vulnerability moments" really resonates.
