Jason M. Lemkin describes how his discomfort at school parent events, where he'd hide in corners and stick with a few extroverts, accidentally planted the seeds for his later event production and community building work.
So the point of that story is I did not intend to like be producing mass scale events with hundreds of sponsors and media and stuff. It, it was truly organic in a way that I don't think would happen today. It was very innocent. Right? It was literally like, I don't like meetups, but and I like, it was really born out of me being forced to go to like parent events at school and not knowing what to talk to people about unless they were the sassy Os. Like I would hide in the corner and see the couple of folks at school who were sassios because I knew what to talk. I'm not.
