Chapters

And I will tell you this, communities, meetups, conferences, Slacks, Discords, they could go away tomorrow. I think networking online is amazing, and I think you can do it at scale. You can spend 15 minutes on the toilet every single morning liking and commenting people's statuses and not feeling alone, but if you are not meeting with them and trying to cultivate in-person relationships, you are going to miss out. Because again, we're human beings, we're not made to go through this life alone. We need to be in community with the person to the left or right of you, right? Don't take for granted the person to the left or right of you, because again, all this could go away tomorrow.
