🎂 MoTaBirthday | October 16, 2023

Greg Paskal is yet to expand their MoTaverse profile.

Here are a few ways you can help them get started:

Tag them in a Moment. Think of a Moment as a blog post. Mention in one of yours so they see they're already part of the conversation.
Invite them to an Event. There are plenty of online and in-person events to choose from. A shared event is an easy way to connect.
Credit them in The Observatory. Share a link they pointed you to, or one they'd value. A small nod goes a long way.
Suggest they comment on a Session, Moment or Insight. Commenting is a good way to find your voice. Give them a reason to jump in.
Point them to the Glossary. Suggest a term they could add, or their take on one. Everyone has an interpretation worth sharing.
Bring them into a Chapter. These are topic and location-based spaces for members to gather. Help them find their people.
