When You Show Up, People Open The Door
“Here’s the part no one talks about:
→ Most breakthroughs don’t happen on Zoom.
→ Most opportunities don’t come from posting daily.
→ They come when you step into the room, prepared, grounded, and open.”
The power of live events can’t be overstated. So much can happen when people get together with shared, good intentions, especially around a framework of Core Values and opportunity.
But you have to show up - In Real Life - to experience the full effect.
What if you don’t know anyone? What if it’s awkward? What if…?
The idea of leaving comfort for the unknown can be intimidating, or at least an easy excuse to opt out, to choose the familiar, or even to stay on the grind and get ahead.
What if you set aside hesitation? What if it goes really well?!
Live events are a forcing function to invite spontaneity into your life.
If you think about it, so many of the best things that ever happened to you were not planned. Many people you appreciate the most you met by chance. These possibilities aren’t guaranteed every time you put yourself out there, but they don’t happen unless you do.
And wow, when they do…
Think about the factors at play here, all from our ecosystem coming together:
A leader creating an event
NYC city leader Darshak Patel stepped up to bring Founders Live NYC back to life, finding a venue, founders to pitch, and all the details to set the scene.
Attendees showing up IRL
People from around the city making the effort to show up, taking that chance.
Community interacting
Founders giving their carefully crafted pitches, friends supporting, people saying hello to strangers.
Someone deciding to Open The Door
Living out our third Core Value, people listen for ways to share an opportunity so someone else can benefit.
Founders creating something new
People coming together to create a podcast, new content to be shared on the internet, sourced from their own experience so that they can help, teach, and inspire others.
Ripple Effect
Now that we know about that podcast, we’ve added it to The Founders Live Podcast Network where many more people will discover Stephanie’s episode and others, and maybe then discover other podcasts as well.
It’s truly an amazing thing.
And it’s available to YOU when you make the choice to show up IRL.
