Let’s talk about understanding the question you’re being asked….

z

00:00
well howdy there internet people it’s bo
00:02
again
00:03
so we’re going to be recording here for
00:04
the next few days it’s
00:06
i’m on the edge of the storm nothing to
00:08
worry about but a lot of rain can’t
00:09
record in the shop with a tin
00:11
roof okay so tonight
00:15
we’re going to talk about making sure
00:17
you understand the question you’re being
00:19
asked
00:20
because for years i didn’t and i’m
00:23
certain i have given less than
00:24
satisfactory answers now
00:28
so for years i have uh helped people
00:30
build community networks
00:33
and every so often after
00:37
you know holding a workshop or whatever
00:39
actually talking to people helping them
00:41
do it
00:42
i have somebody come up to me
00:46
normally a younger person and ask
00:49
well how do you start i’m sitting there
00:53
it’s like i just spent an
00:55
hour talking about this woody what are
00:57
you
00:59
and i’m i’m sure i have given less than
01:01
satisfactory answers because i don’t
01:03
understand the question
01:04
if you are an old hand at building
01:06
community networks pay attention
01:08
that question doesn’t mean what we think
01:10
it means
01:12
they’re asking how to get that core
01:15
group
01:16
that you start with that to us is a
01:19
given
01:22
younger people are so technology based
01:25
that they don’t
01:26
have that it doesn’t exist for them and
01:29
they’re
01:31
less likely to interact with the people
01:34
they don’t know
01:36
figured this out after uh
01:39
stumbling upon a video by working stiff
01:42
usa
01:43
new youtube channel and by new
01:46
i mean i was the ninth subscriber very
01:49
new channel
01:51
they go through and
01:54
really address this issue when we’re
01:57
talking about younger people
01:59
not really knowing how to step out and
02:03
and build their network i don’t want to
02:06
remake the video i’m going to put it
02:08
below
02:10
but i want to add a couple of things
02:13
first is it’s literally anybody
02:18
anybody the waitress at
02:21
your favorite restaurant the person
02:23
working at the gas station
02:26
your friend from school that you haven’t
02:28
talked to in forever
02:30
especially those who are involved in
02:31
extracurricular activities
02:33
they tend to be more active people at
02:36
work
02:38
anywhere literally anybody and you don’t
02:41
have to click with them
02:43
on a personal level right away it’s not
02:46
it’s not even remotely important
02:49
all that matters is that commitment to
02:51
that goal
02:53
and then as your network grows
02:58
it’s gonna split when it gets large
03:01
it’ll divide into two little networks
03:04
those that you click with and you
03:05
resonate with on a personal level
03:07
they’ll stick with you those that don’t
03:11
they’ll form their own
03:12
that’s how it works so don’t
03:16
don’t feel like you have to become best
03:18
friends initially
03:20
you probably won’t there’s going to be a
03:21
whole bunch of people that cycle in and
03:23
out
03:23
and that’s okay that’s okay it’s
03:26
expected you don’t really need to worry
03:28
about that
03:31
now the video i’m gonna put below
03:35
definitely coming from the left but goes
03:39
out of their way to point out that it
03:42
isn’t ideologically based
03:43
not initially anyway that it’s just
03:46
about
03:47
doing good and granted if you do this
03:50
long enough there will be
03:52
certain ideological things that occur
03:55
it happens and that’s addressed i also
03:58
want to point out it’s a brand new
04:00
youtube channel
04:02
the audio is not great
04:05
very quiet you’re going to turn it up
04:07
all the way but at least it’s coming out
04:09
of both speakers
04:12
if you were if you weren’t here when
04:14
this channel first started
04:16
in the beginning i literally had people
04:18
leaning left
04:19
um so
04:23
don’t focus too much on the production
04:24
value but focus on the content
04:26
especially if this is a question you
04:28
have
04:29
if you want to know how to get that
04:31
first group of people
04:33
this video specifically focuses on
04:36
getting that first
04:37
one and that makes sense to me
04:40
and then from there it’ll grow the
04:42
content’s great
04:43
it’s definitely worth checking out
04:47
and as uh current events have shown
04:52
these community networks are incredibly
04:54
important yeah all
04:56
of the day-to-day problems that exist in
04:58
the world
04:59
can be helped with one of these but also
05:02
the emergencies that are going on right
05:04
now the fires
05:06
the hurricanes whatever they become very
05:09
important
05:11
in not only dealing with them when they
05:13
occur
05:14
but helping to recover afterward
05:18
anyway it’s just a thought y’all have a
05:20
good night
