You have to make yourself a part of the conversation.
One thing NYC is teaching me, almost on a daily basis, is that we are in a place where you don’t need to be heard.
It isn’t an issue of want – but in this city, there is so much talent, the question becomes why do I need you. What do you bring me that I can benefit from?
It is your job to come by and provide that context. In most places, just saying you are there to provide that context will give you a shot.
Here, you need to show it, be consistent, and build it into your routine.
If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.
