Cool hearing @pmarca cite “Never Eat Alone” by @ferrazzi
Rather that worrying about how to break into “the network”, flip the problem, and be the person who connects people. Be the network, doesn’t matter what stage you’re at.
One of most important books in my career.

Example - when I wanted to learn #Clojure, I went to a conference, and asked the speakers whose talks or prior work I really respected to join a “remote research club”
An email list with one rule
you had to tell the group about an open question you had every week.

I was super new to Clojure, but that didn’t matter, because this weird norm got some really smart folks sharing really interesting problems with each other.
I had no business being at that table, except that I was the one who set the table.

A key point, there was no expectation that you’d answer anyone else’s questions.
Only norm was that you post questions
It turned out my questions were interesting to folks.
And this is where @RoamResearch got our initial syncing architecture.
Via ideas developed on that list

Build the network you want to join.
When I was sick of NYC bar scene, I started a “Learning Cult” - P2P Sunday service for folks who felt science was spiritual.
Some friends of friends that would almost certainly never have met without it got married

When I was in a new country (India) and my gf at the time and I were getting sick of each other, and didn’t know anyone else in the city, we restarted the group, and had a TIGHT group of friends visiting us every other week, within about 2 months.
Maybe 6 months into that, @MeadowsRichard arrived in Mumbai for our first global retreat — the Junto meme had reached him in Chaing Mai, and he’d started a group there.
Rest is history

Was thinking I should make a demo and show how someone doing @ferrazzi plan would use Roam
Like, tags for each person they meet — use backlinks to figure out who to intro, or who to invite to a dinner...
But pretty sure @kwharrison13 has demo that gets idea across better
