Building in public isn't always pretty.
Here I am hosting my biggest event yet, 1500–2000~ people in Dubai during Token 2049, and of course, something still doesn’t go to plan.
This time, it was the apparel and merch that didn't arrive on time. Somehow we pulled off a clutch save, got a driver to pick it up from the post office it was stuck at.
Moral of the story: You can plan everything perfectly, but it rarely plays out that way. What matters is how you adapt. If you keep pushing and stay resourceful, things tend to work out, sometimes even better than expected.
The event was a massive success. Seeing that many people come together, connect, and build real relationships was unreal.
I love being in that energy. Just keep trying things.
