How to Get the Most out of a Community

Being involved in both the OTWC and Verci has been essential to my experience in New York City. I have connected with inspiring individuals and gained numerous opportunities through these communities.

When you find the right community and put in the effort, the benefits can be significant. There’s an art to getting the most out of a community. If I were to summarize the fundamentals, first you have to to commit fully to it. I’ll see friends participating lightly in various communities but it isn’t easy to reap the reward if you don’t do that upfront work. Secondly, adopt a mindset of giving more than receiving (shout to Aamir for this tip). Ironically it’s this mindset that leads to the greatest rewards.
