Interviewed strangers around Stanford for 2 hours today by myself. Lots of rejections but it's less scary than people think.
Now I get why street interviews blow up: everyone's curious about strangers' answers, but watching is free and asking takes balls.
Do more spontaneous stuff.
Saw @fdotinc is hosting an open house night 10min ago, grabbed a hoodie and hopped on a 1hr train to SF. Gonna meet and learn from some cool people building amazing stuff!
If u got some free time and energy, put away scrolling and do more spontaneous stuff, u never know how it’s gonna turn out - but u will never forget the experience like how you have forgotten the last 5 reels u watched
I will never forget this sunrise in Guatemala 3 months ago, but somehow can’t recall the last reel I scrolled past just now…
Life is just a series of memories, and the best ones come from moments away from the screen.
