I want to dedicate this post to how underrated this app is, by telling you how 3 kids across the globe met a month ago.
Almost 2 months ago, William Nguyen reached out to me on this platform. He ghosted me for a week, but we finally got on a FaceTime, and it was legendary.
After talking for days, on one call, he randomly said, "Wait, do you know Zaman Jhandir?"
"Yea I've seen him here and there, but never met the guy."
"Okay, wait, let me add him to this FaceTime call."
We talked, bonded instantly, and went on and on about how content has changed all of our lives.
Then, mid-call, I just said, "Wait, you guys should come for Toronto Tech Week."
Zaman is in Kelowna, working at Creatin.
William is in San Francisco, working at YouTube.
We were all hesitant until Zaman convinced his bosses to make it a "company trip". We hopped on a call with Brian & Jaden, decided last minute to get an Airbnb, make a collab, and spend the week together.
It felt like a dream, but William and Zaman were real. They came to my house, met my mom, and even pet my dog. The whole thing was unbelievable.
A month ago, these were names on a screen. Now? They're some of my closest friends.
All this to say, I don't care for people calling this app corny. This platform has absolutely changed my life and given me everything I have today. No other app in the world would've made this possible.
So once again, as I've said before:
1) please post
2) just talk to people
With love,
Sammy ❤️
