Kubantu abaninzi, ukunxulumana nabantu abangabaziyo kulithemba elibi. KuRob Lawless, nangona kunjalo, liphupha-kunye nomsebenzi osisigxina.
Umchasi-mthetho ngumntu ongasemva Robs10kAbahlobo . Suku ngalunye, uhlala phantsi nabantu abane abangabaziyo kangangeyure enye, enenjongo yokuba ekugqibeleni achithe iiyure ezili-10 000 nabantu abahlukahlukeneyo abangama-10 000.
Umfundi oneminyaka engama-29 ubudala ophumelele ePenn State wayengahlali ehleli nabantu angabaziyo ukuze aziphilise. Nangona kunjalo, emva kokuchitha iminyaka embalwa kwizemali kunye neentengiso, waqaphela ukuba ukuthanda kwakhe okwenyani kwakulele kunxibelelwano lomntu kunye nokwenza ubudlelwane obutsha, obunentsingiselo.
Ndizibekele usukelo lokudibana nabantu endingabaziyo abayi-10,000 kuba ndilibone njengethuba lokungena kuthando lwam lokudibana nabantu ngelixa ndisenza into yorhwebo, ngalo lonke elo xesha bendivumela ukuba ndenze umzekelo oqinisekileyo wendlela unxibelelwano lomntu olumele lubukeke ngayo, u-Lawless uxelele Yazi. Njengoko ndakhe iprojekthi yam, ndizamile ukukhuthaza abanye ukuba baphathe unxibelelwano lwabantu njengamava kunokuba kuthengiselwano.
U-Lawless waqala iRobs10kFriends emva ngoNovemba ka-2015 xa wayesasebenza ixesha elizeleyo njengomthengisi kwi-data analytics startup RJMetrics. Emva phaya, wathi uya imeyile kwaye DM abantu random - uninzi lwabo wabafumana nge UBilly Penn Ngubani uluhlu olulandelayo - kwaye nje wayenethemba lokuba baya kuphendula.
Ngenxa yokuba ndandingenayo i-ajenda ngaphandle kokuthatha umdla kwabo ndinxibelelana nabo, abantu basabela kakuhle kwaye iprojekthi yakhula ikakhulu ngokuthetha ngomlomo, u-Lawless wachaza. Abantu abaninzi endadibana nabo kwangethuba (yaye kusenjalo) babesithi ebudeni beyure yethu, ‘Ndazi abantu abambalwa abaya kuba nomdla ngokwenene kuwe ukuba uthethe nabo!’
Namhlanje, baphantse babe ngama-4,000 abantu abangabaziyo kamva, uLawless unxibelelana nabantu abafikelela kuye nge-imeyile okanye kumajelo asekuhlaleni. Ngabalandeli abangaphezu kwe-37,000 kwi-Instagram kunye nabalandeli abaphantse babe ngama-8,000 kwiTikTok , unentaphane yezifundo ezinomdla anokukhetha kuzo.
Amajelo osasazo oluntu akhula ngokungenamthetho yindlela athe wakwazi ngayo ukuguqula iRobs10kFriends ibe yiprojekthi yexesha elizeleyo. Umrhwebi uthe njengoko iakhawunti yakhe ifumene ingqalelo kwimithombo yeendaba, ubambisene naye wonke umntu osuka kumama omncinci-kunye nekhemesti yepop ukuya kwi-WeWork yendawo yokusebenza. Kananjalo unayo a Patreon apho abalandeli banokufaka igalelo kwinyanga nganye abayikhethileyo kwaye bazibandakanye noluntu ngokusondeleleneyo.
Ewe kunjalo, iminikelo ye-Patreon kunye nenkxaso yenkampani ayinakuhambelana nomvuzo we-rep yokuthengisa, ngoko ke u-Lawless kuye kwafuneka ukuba anciphise iindleko (ibandakanyiwe nerenti). Kuye, nangona kunjalo, lixabiso elincinci lokuhlawula ukubona uRobs10kFriends ukugqiba kwaye ufumane amabali anentsingiselo phaya.
Ufunde ntoni ke uLawless kule minyaka mihlanu oko waqala iRobs10kFriends? I-extrovert yathi, mhlawumbi okona kubaluleke kakhulu, uye wafunda ukubona intsebenziswano yabantu ngendlela eyahlukileyo, ukukhanya okuxabisa ngakumbi.
Ndifundile ukuba ukuphatha unxibelelwano lwabantu njengamava kunokuba kuthengiselwano yindlela engakholelekiyo yokuhamba ebomini, umthengisi wangaphambili uthe. Ikuvumela ukuba uxabise iyantlukwano kunye nokufana kwabantu ngelixa usenza ukuba uzive ungowabanye ngenxa yemo ekwabelwana ngayo yokuba sesichengeni.
U-Lawless uphinde wathi ngeprojekthi yakhe - kunye nokudibana namawakawaka abantu abavela kuzo zonke iindlela zobomi ezahlukeneyo - uye wahlakulela uxabiso olutsha ngayo yonke into asikelelwe ngayo - ngakumbi emva kokuthetha nezifundo ezinjenge. Bojana Corilic , ixhoba lokudubula okukhulu eSerbia, kunye UChris Gellenbeck , owafumana ingozi emanyumnyezi yephenyane waza wachacha ngendlela engummangaliso.
Ngonxibelelwano lwam, ndiye ndafumana imvakalelo yombulelo omkhulu ngezipho endinazo ebomini bam (usapho olunothando, abahlobo abalungileyo, umsebenzi ondizalisekisayo), wacacisa. Ndidibene nabantu abaninzi abathi, umzekelo, balahlekelwe ngabathandekayo okanye abangenayo inkqubo yokuxhasa eyomeleleyo njengam.
Ekugqibeleni, uLawless uyazi ukuba iRobs10kFriends iza kufikelela esiphelweni. (Inomhla wokugqibela ogqityiweyo, enyanisweni!) Nangona kunjalo, akacebi ukushiya iprojekthi kunye namaphupha akhe ngokupheleleyo xa ehlala phantsi nomntu wakhe wokugqibela; ngokuchaseneyo, unethemba lokuqhubeka ekhuthaza abantu ngeentetho ezisondeleleneyo kunye nezifundo zasekholejini.
Ngomsebenzi, ndiceba ukuchitha ixesha lam ndifundisa ikhosi yaseyunivesithi apho abafundi bahlala phantsi 1: 1 kwaye bafunde kwimvelaphi yomnye nomnye ngokuchasene nencwadi yesikhokelo okanye i-powerpoint slides, u-Lawless wathi ngezicwangciso zakhe zekamva. Ndikwaceba ukuzixhasa ngokuthetha ngeprojekthi yam kwiidyunivesiti nakumashishini.
U-Lawless usenabantu abaninzi abangabaziyo ukuba adibane nabo ngaphambi kokuba ajoyine ilizwe lezemfundo, nangona kunjalo. Ukuba unomdla wokuba yinxalenye yeprojekthi yakhe yeRobs10kFriends, ungafikelela kuye nokuba ngewebhusayithi yakhe okanye kwi-Instagram .
