You don't need the answers to add value. Bringing strong people together who want to meet each other is the value.
The idea
John Corcoran separates two roles: the expert at the podium who has an answer for everything, and the connector who puts people in touch with the ones they want to meet. You can do the second without the first. Star performers want to spend time with peers at their level or a little above, and they often have trouble finding those rooms. If you build the room, you've delivered real value. Plenty of people assume that because they're a chiropractor or a web designer, their only way to help is chiropractic or web design. Connecting people is a different way to deliver value, and it's especially useful early in your career, before you have the experience or authority to offer much else.
How to do it
Think about the strong people you know who would want to be in a room with each other: peers at their level or a little above.
Bring them together. Host a dinner, or start or join a mastermind.
Let connecting them be your contribution. You don't have to be the one with the answers.
Example
A while back I dragged myself to yet another Zoom, a mastermind session with other entrepreneurs, secretly hoping my internet would cut out. Ninety minutes later I felt like I could bend steel with my bare hands, purely from the energy of the people in it. My to-do list went from "survive until Friday" to "change the world by Tuesday."
Three Connector Personalities: Conveners build dense networks, Brokers bridge worlds, Expansionists cast wide nets; find your natural style and lean into it.
Your Network Is Your North Star: The people around you expand or shrink what you believe is possible, at work and at home, so choose them on purpose and keep a small growth circle close.
The Community MVP: Before launching a community, test it by meeting the same ten or so people three or four times around one purpose, then build on what worked.
Find Your Cozy Corner: In a group of 10,000 you're an audience member; in a group of ten you're a person. Show up consistently in one small group.
