For January 2024 several of us will be participating in the “30-Day 6 Degrees of Separation Coach4aday Challenge”-today we dive into connections between JFK and Jerry Seinfeld.

JFK are the initials of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He was the 35th President of the United States and became the first Catholic US President. Today’s post shows how he is connected to a Jewish comedian and star of one of the best shows ever produced for television “Seinfeld”.

President Kennedy and his family has had a significant impact on U.S. politics, particularly through the political career of John F. Kennedy (JFK) and his two brothers Robert and Edward.

Rules of the Challenge

Many people have heard of this concept. The notion of six degrees of separation grew out of work conducted by the social psychologist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s. It then became a 1993 film named appropriately “Six Degrees of Separation.”

Organizing a six degrees of separation challenge involves creating a chain of people, each connected to the next by a mutual acquaintance. The goal is to demonstrate that any two people in the world can be connected through a chain of six or fewer personal connections.

How to Participate

Here is how to participate:

1. Identify the First and Last Person in the Chain.
2. Go thru the connections with a brief explanation.
3. Do this daily for 30 Days posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
