One of @ArlanWasHere's founding goals of @Backstage_Cap was to humanize the tech world. "For so long it seemed like a gated community. I wanted to say, 'Roll down your window. Stop by, take a look. We all inherited this space.'" #BAMbookjam

Great advice for networking in the age of #COVID19 and Zoom from @ArlanWasHere. "Choose 1 or 2 events to go to. Change your Zoom name to your Twitter handle. Pay attention to the chat and reach out to someone who is starting interesting conversations." #BAMbookjam
