UNSCENE Festival | Debrief

We just walked off stage at UN//SCENE Festival where we spoke about networking and building community: how each of us actually does it, from treating your inbox as a database to the small personal touches that make people remember you. The room was packed, hot and full of questions we didn't have time to answer. So we grabbed the camera outside and unpacked it. Here's the honest debrief: What the room kept asking: "how do I activate my network without selling to people?" The question that stumped us: "I do so many different things, how do I not confuse people?" Does there really have to be one theme that runs through everything you do? (I don't have one, bro.) Kian's answer to what my theme actually is What the crowd taught us, including two people who rediscovered horse riding and netball What we'd do differently next time and a little manifesting for SXSW London Chapters 0:00 Coming up 0:10 How did the talk go? 0:51 What stood out for each of us 2:05 What the room kept asking 2:16 "I do so many things, how do I not confuse people?" 3:22 Does there have to be one theme? 4:15 "I don't have that theme, bro" 5:29 Kian finds my theme 6:16 What we learned from the crowd 8:44 What we'd do differently 11:47 Wrap If you were in the room, drop your biggest takeaway in the comments.
