ASK FOR PERFORMANCE INTEL. It’s hard to be brilliant if you lack critical information. In particular, people generally need two types of information to achieve top performance. The first is clear direction—What is the target, and why is it important? Diminishers often become so preoccupied with telling people how to shoot that they forget to first establish the target. When a Diminisher becomes immediately prescriptive, you can ask them to back up and provide more context and direction.
It’s good to be a non-fungible buyer. You arrive at the storefront, connect your wallet, and suddenly the storefront changes based on an NFT you hold. Maybe a special product gets unlocked, or you get early access to a drop. Maybe you connect your wallet that unlocks a high-quality art print or 3D model of your NFT. Maybe you gain access to a special collab: for this limited-edition drop, your NFT opens a new door into another community. The more you explore, the more doors you find.

The Covid pandemic could not have made this clearer. Millions of people who were locked down in their homes and laid off, furloughed, or forced to work remotely, quickly found themselves missing the connections they were used to having every day. We became isolated from our workmates, customers, and colleagues. Bob and Marc, for example, began using remote tools to teach, work with colleagues, and even to see people in therapy. That took some getting used to. It was better than nothing, but it was not the same as before.
