What's up dudes,
I spent a couple of minutes deciding what to name the thread, but couldn't really think of anything more solid so excuse me if it sounds confusing/awkward
I've been on NT since the early 2000s and the vibe back then was a bit different. Dudes were more willing to help out and network. I still remember local cats would pick me up to go get kicks because I was in the 9-10th grade then and didn't have a car. Fast forward to this day at age 29, I still keep in touch with a handful of dudes I met on here, close and afar. Ironically enough, some of them became my closest friends. We no longer talk about kicks, but about career and life goals.
I became an optimist in life during the last several years and never looked back. I cut out all the friends who were negative and only keep in touch with those with positive energy. Life gets tough sometimes and I think you need a good support team of friends to hold you down, and of course reciprocate appropriately. When it comes to this..it's quality over quantity easily.
With that said, I know there are a lot of cool folks on here. I'm not sure if this idea will catch on or not, but it would be awesome to bring the old vibe back to the board. Cats within the area would link up for summits. I'm in the greater Los Angeles area....I'm always down to to link up with members to talk about kicks/careers/personal goals/life/etc. and network.
It would be dope if dudes in other areas would do the same thing because you can never find enough good friends.
Edit: I see some folks are interested. I guess we can keep it simple, and just state your location in your post. That way other cats in the area can PM you directly and take it offline or you guys can start a mini conversation in the thread if you want to get a group meet/summit type action going on.
