@nevemind_com Keepingup with the jones in the age of AI spam swarms, is going to be interesting. I think we will move towards purposeful communication. Like the award system in PH. It awards purposeful communication over shallow AI swarm chatter
Keep it authentic more than "working"

Providing mutual value. Unfortunately, some people think it's a one-way street.
It is the wait for me
Getting started was the hardest part of networking. I felt afraid and unsure about trying something new. But I quickly realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. So, don't hesitate to get started – be bold!
Before I had adopted a "shoot your shot" mentality, I was very discouraged by the lack of responsiveness in networking.
Now, I am grateful to connect with individuals who will lend me their precious time to share insights and experiences.
Initiating conversations and breaking the ice can be the most challenging part of networking.
Building and sustaining genuine connections, as it involves time, authenticity, and mutual value creation. 🤝💼
