The ask is not at the beginning. The ask is not like the second you join a community, you get into the room and you're just starting to ask for everything. Like, hey, I need this. Hey, I need that. Hey, um, I just spent this money, so can I get this? Hey, hey, can you help me with this? Hey, hey, can I get that? Whoa, slow down. Let's start giving first. Yeah, let's start giving first. You join something, you, you come into the room, let's start with the giving part. Let's start giving. If someone wants to provide you something, go ahead and receive it. Later on down the road if there's something you need, feel free to ask, but let's not start with the ask.
