Shallow community asks, “What can you do for me today?”
Deep community asks, “What could we do for each other eventually?”
If you’re only focused on what you can get out of this moment, that’s not a community. That’s a transaction.
But if you’re focused on what everyone could get out of this relationship, then you have a chance to build meaningful connections that pay dividends for years.
Your future self thanks you for the present community you’re building.
