@ruebytwo is the best philosopher on here by the way

Things I’d like to mirror

[jason. @jasondebrito]

If they keep dragging theit feet or moving the goalposts, cut the conversation.

Skepticism at the door rarely turns into momentum. Build with people who get it immediately.

[jason. @jasondebrito]

Do not try to convince people who are committed to being skeptical.

When pitching an idea or reaching out to a potential partner:

🧵

[jason. @jasondebrito]

Be direct

Lay out the facts and terms

Give them what they need to decide

[jason. @jasondebrito]

@ruebytwo So well said.

[jason. @jasondebrito]

The friction is the product.

If everyone can reach everyone in your network, no one is worth reaching.

Protecting someone's time with— relational context — isn't gatekeeping for its own sake.

It's what makes the room worth being in.

[jason. @jasondebrito]

The internet told you that creating value in a network means staying active — introducing people, filling silences, showing up everywhere.

That's how you become a free tour guide.

Here's how the best connectors actually operate. 🧵

[jason. @jasondebrito]

Don't introduce two people on day one.

You know a coffee producer in Angola. You know a buyer in Canada who travels to remote markets to source ethically.

The introduction isn't the value. Knowing when the context is ready — that's the value.
Make them wait. Make it inevitable.

[jason. @jasondebrito]

Every language is a room. Every room is access. English, Portuguese, Mandarin, Spanish — and French, one month in. The map is still being drawn

Your close network gives you comfort. Your weak network gives you access. — Granovetter called it the strength of weak ties. Full essay on Substack

For the first time,
Geopolitics have a direct effect to my job

[jason. @jasondebrito]

Follow @kingdebrito if you want insight on my psyche thanks

[jason. @jasondebrito]

@ruebytwo I slow down when this happens

[jason. @jasondebrito]

Your personal brand is the introduction I make before I meet you.

If you provide real value, you already have a compelling story to tell. Put it somewhere people can find it.
