I recently had a meeting with Adam, who runs “Start of Business With No Money.” Adam came across as a kind and compassionate person who genuinely listened to my story and circumstances without judgment. During our conversation, I shared how I structure my business around storytelling, peace-building, and creating meaningful impact in the world. He seemed impressed by my vision of using storytelling as a path toward peace on Earth. While the meeting did not provide a lot of direct business strategy or practical advice, -as we live in different countries with different laws, Adam did offer one important perspective: to be careful not to get pulled into manipulative sales tactics or pressured by people trying to take advantage of vulnerable entrepreneurs. That warning felt sincere and grounded in care. I also spoke openly about living with Bipolar I disorder and the reality of needing a chaperone with me when I go places. Adam listened with compassion and grace, which I appreciated deeply. Sometimes being heard respectfully matters just as much as receiving advice. Overall, my experience with Adam was positive because of his kindness, willingness to listen, and respectful attitude toward my life experiences and mission.
Rasheed is a great community facilitator who makes everyone feel welcome to share their inner weirdness. I enjoy how he engages with his community and encourages participation in community discussions and posts using leaderboard feedback and gamifying the experience.
