Why meeting your heroes or social media influencers are overrated? #255

Open tanaypratap opened 4 years ago

tanaypratap commented 4 years ago

A lot of time I get DM requests around meeting me in person. I almost always deny it. In this one I'll talk about why I do this.

  1. Physical meetings are time expensive
    • I have limited time for: job, family and #teamtanay
    • I can't do 1:1 mentorship or meetings.
  2. There's nothing new to say, I already share all my thoughts online.
  3. It increases hero worship culture
  4. Whatever you need can be done online, if 1:1 meeting is in-fact required.

Hope you understand my point of view.
