Written by Paul Domish | The Drift

There’s a second in practically each session the place I can really feel the query coming.

It doesn’t come quick, or loud, or skeptical. It comes slowly—like a breath held in. A hesitation between somebody’s dream and their doubt.

“I like your work… however I’m simply unsure. You’re so far-off.”

We’ve been taught that belief grows in proximity. That to really feel seen, we’ve to be standing in the identical room. That in the event you can’t shake somebody’s hand or watch their progress in individual, it may not really feel actual.

However right here’s what I’ve discovered, after strolling alongside so many Drifter purchasers who lived a whole lot, generally hundreds of miles away:

Connection doesn’t stay in geography. It lives in how we deal with one another.
