Financial sustainability remains a concern for the community initiator. Jin Shan shares that for now, he is living off savings, viewing Stranger Conversations as an ongoing experimental phase. His approach is cautious yet hopeful—prioritizing authenticity over immediate profit and welcoming others who share his vision to help sustain and expand the initiative.
He emphasizes that the core spirit—openness to learn from strangers and fostering honest dialogue—must be maintained, regardless of how the community evolves. This flexible, organic approach allows room for growth and adaptation while staying true to the original purpose.
