📣 Other TBI survivors I almost died in a car accident 20 years ago. Head injury rewired my brain. I have a CS background and can read code. But can't write it anymore. My brain just doesn't work that way now. For years I felt broken. Like I lost my value. But I've realized being able to understand technical concepts and explain them simply to non-technical people is just as valuable. I'm the person who translates between devs and everyone else. My brain injury didn't break me. It just made me different. And different can be valuable if you position it right. I'm not the coder I used to be. But I'm someone else entirely now. Still figuring out the best job for me at my age. But I'm still showing up. Putting in effort. Doing the work. Though at times, I admit. It may not be the right effort. That's a skill in and of itself. 20 years later, I finally get it. It's ok to not be ok. If you need downtime take it. Then when ready, get back up and provide value again.

Just started BD at a smart contract auditing firm. Went to an XRPL rooftop event last night and immediately went into "hunter mode" - walking around asking people "are you launching mainnet? need an audit?" Big mistake. The vibe was completely off. People were there to chill, not get pitched. I should have just focused on meeting everyone, learning about their projects, and being genuinely curious about what they're building. Reality check: Most projects won't need audits for 6-12 months anyway. I should have been planting seeds, not trying to harvest crops. Better approach: "What are you building? That sounds fascinating!" Then actually listen and add value to the conversation. The goal isn't to sell at parties - it's to be the security guy they remember when they're ready. Lesson learned: Network first, pitch later. 🤦‍♂️ If you do web3 sales, would love to hear your thoughts?
