🎉 What an unforgettable evening with good weather hosted by ADPList Amsterdam Chapter! Big thanks to everyone who showed up for the ADPList summer meetup in Vondelpark. A massive shoutout to Lead Ambassador, Balasubramanyn Meenakshisundaram, for organizing this. So many good stories, tips, and laughs. 🌳✨ We heard first-time mentees planning their growth paths, seasoned mentors swapping experience, and plenty of “small talk” that turned into big ideas. That is what community looks like! ❤️

90% of people don’t understand this. You don’t need to be a perfect match to apply for a job. Yes, you heard that. Growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones. It happens when we’re just a little underqualified, just enough to stretch, learn, and level up. We’ve seen it first hand: → The best roles are the ones that challenge you. → The best growth comes from a little discomfort. If every requirement fits you like a glove, you’re not applying to grow, you’re applying to coast. Apply scared. Apply ambitious. Apply ready to become more. What else would you add? 👇

Being around ambitious people will change your life. We broke the record with > 100 people at a single Taipei event ;) All brought together by adplist.org, ABConvert, and SparkLabs Taiwan. The premise was simple: Yi Hung Lin and I wanted to gather the most driven builders in one room and see what happens. As the night unfolded, I honestly lost track of how many new faces I met, how many candid stories we shared, and the number of times someone told me, “adplist.org has changed my life.” For me, this wasn’t just another event. Since growing adplist.org from a spontaneous spreadsheet in 2021 to a movement supporting millions, I’ve learned the most pivotal breakthroughs aren’t about code or capital—they’re about who you surround yourself with. I was once again reminded why we exist in the first place. Thank you, Taipei. You’ve set a new bar for what’s possible when builders unite. Can’t wait for the next one. So here’s to building bolder, together.
