Week [26] in my life & career as a new, new yorker & full-time creator…

This week was all about the "rebound." After a heavy week of deep work and staring at my monitor until my eyes crossed, I needed to get back into the city and remind myself why I moved here in the first place. 🍎🗽

One thing I’m learning about being a creator is that your "output" is only as good as your "input." If I’m not out meeting people, hearing stories, and seeing how the world is moving, my content starts to feel like a vacuum.

🌟 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆

→ Finalized the edit for the "Day in the Life" vlog

→ 2-hour strategy call with my consulting client regarding their Q4 social roadmap

→ Sent out 4 brand partnership pitches for October

→ Finally organized my desk (it was getting scary 😂)

🌟 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆

→ Filmed 3 short-form videos for a tech brand collab

→ Met with a fellow creator for a "co-working" session that turned into a 3-hour yap session about the algorithm

→ Posted a LinkedIn update about the importance of "vibe coding" in 2025

🌟 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆

→ Attended a private dinner hosted by a VC firm in Soho

→ Met 5 new founders who are building in the relationship-tech space

→ Realized that "networking" is just a fancy word for making friends with people who are as obsessed with their work as you are

The biggest takeaway from this week? Don't be afraid to break your own "rules." I planned to stay inside and grind, but the best opportunity of the week came from a last-minute DM and a subway ride to a neighborhood I’d never been to.

✨ If you’re a creator in NYC and want to be part of the next "Connector’s Table" dinner, comment "NYC" and I’ll add you to the waitlist for our next event!
