00:00:24.640 Hello everyone! It's good to see you all here. I was about to talk about something interesting, but I just want to say: the first killer in any story will always die on screen.
00:00:42.840 Fortunately, you seem like a very good audience. Please come forward as if you're interviewing me!
00:00:51.680 It's always better to see your reactions. I’ll get my top shot here, just to make sure we capture this moment.
00:01:26.160 It's good to be heard and to be here. I don’t know how to say this exactly, but the opportunity to learn is incredibly valuable. Since there’s no one else to communicate this to, I'm here to tell you a story about the importance of creating content.
00:02:34.160 So let’s begin.
00:02:48.160 One, two, three! That’s right! You initially chose the wrong option, and now you want me to make it work. Back in 2010, I encountered a scenario where a group of us wanted to connect.
00:03:05.599 We had a good idea — let’s create an app to facilitate interaction. But one of the problems we faced was: how would we implement it?
00:03:31.870 You can talk about any topic anywhere in the world, but you have to be thorough; that's the real challenge. How many of you have spoken at conferences before? It's not easy.
00:05:00.230 We approached thought leaders in various fields and attempted to gain their support. We had to convince them to let us work on our ideas, and while challenging, it ultimately led to growth.
00:06:04.400 The fact that we managed to organize this conference after four or five years of effort proves that determination pays off. Initially, we didn’t know much, but we knew we had to make an impact.
00:07:01.060 It was not easy, but we managed to establish a network that positively influenced our future endeavors. This positive energy transformed the process.
00:08:30.879 When content is genuinely positive, it creates ripple effects that can lead to big changes. That’s why I am grateful to everyone here — you are all part of this journey.
00:09:22.770 It's reassuring to see professionals coming together. Our team ensured everything functioned smoothly—one camera captured the audience and another focused on my presentation. Everything seemed to work perfectly.
00:10:00.080 Now, having successfully organized this event, we can reflect on the outcomes, turning 45 ideas into actionable steps within 16 selections. It has indeed been an enlightening experience.
00:10:58.480 Despite initial fears, we’ve grown tremendously. We've extended invitations to prominent figures in the industry. The connection made during these collaborations has been invaluable.
00:12:06.160 Understanding the dynamics of our communities is crucial, as many people have various expectations.
00:12:37.279 Building professional networks takes time and dedication, but it’s essential. Every interaction holds potential value.
00:13:40.920 Communities are like a snowball; they grow over time if nurtured. Therefore, we must be consistent in our efforts to maintain and enhance these connections.
00:14:54.650 Active engagement leads to vibrant communities. Let's keep our passion alive. It’s about saying 'yes' to opportunities and energy.
00:15:02.720 Lessons learned over the past six years are fundamental to our next steps.
00:16:50.760 Education is vital; it shapes your reputation and opens doors in business. Once you become known for your brand, connections will follow.
00:17:22.000 Startups and established businesses benefit from these events. Meeting and learning from others in similar positions can lead to incredible breakthroughs.
00:18:01.320 Within networking, it's essential to share knowledge freely, as this contributes to a greater collective value.
00:19:50.890 So, let’s channel that energy into positive outcomes. Community bonds are strengthened through shared experiences, and this journey has only just begun.
00:20:30.960 So, get involved! Engage with others, because together we can cultivate a thriving ecosystem.
00:21:40.640 Being proactive is crucial. We shouldn't wait for opportunities to come to us but instead make the first move to create those opportunities.
