They say build your network. I say build your orbit. 🪐 Why? Because I’m not collecting business cards. 😅 I’m cultivating gravity. 🧲✨ People don’t stay because of follow-backs or cold DMs. They stay when your signal is strong enough to pull them in— and your work, weirdness, or worldview resonates enough to keep them spinning in your field. This is how I think about community. This is how I’ve been building my LinkedIn. Not as a funnel. 🤮 As an ecosystem. 😌 Each post? A pulse. Each DM? A door. Each collab? A constellation✨✨✨ And somehow, some way, we’re about to hit 10,000 of you in this orbit! (Check out my linkedin lol) 🫢 So I have to ask… How should we celebrate? (Terrible ideas only) (((Think: laser tag pitch night, community-wide talent show, LinkedIn thirst trap power hour…lol jk…or am i 🤔))) Drop your worst best ideas below 👇👇👇 And if you’ve been orbiting quietly—come say hey! Let’s make this next lap around the sun extra ✨spectacular✨ Ft.
