ZABAL GAMEZ Workshop w/Meta Mu from Rose City Web3

Meta Mu, founder of Rose City Web3 and an artist-first builder in Portland, joins ZABAL Gamez on how to be a community member who actually adds value - not just another lurker in the chat. He breaks down how to find communities worth your time and how to spot a dead one fast, the difference between a pull-the-ladder-up culture and a help-people-up culture, how to get tapped in through Meetup, Eventbrite, and IRL movements, and exactly how to show up at an event, introduce yourself, and make a real first connection. Drawn from his own path through NFT and DAO communities, PDX DAO, and the regen movement.

• Find communities worth your time - a dead chat with the last message a week ago is a red flag.
• Look for help-people-up cultures over pull-the-ladder-up ones.
• Get tapped in through Meetup, Eventbrite, and IRL movements - showing up in person matters.
• Do not blindly hooray projects; add real value instead.
• At an event, introduce yourself and give people something to try - that is the first connection.
