      If you're an indie consultant you should absolutely be subscribing to the paid @artofgig newsletter. @vgr breaks down the landscape so far with a great mental model of personal development for indies:https://artofgig.substack.com/p/the-gigwork-hierarchy-of-needs …

      Yeah, I’ve been much weaker on that front because what I do is less friendly to that. I think it’s a much bigger factor in broadly marketing-oriented stuff. I see lots of good teams there.

      Yeah I buy that - maybe I'll write up my experience there. Some times its as simple as giving others a leg up or an intro to good work but being kind to my network is a part of that growth story for me

      I’ve done a lot of that kind of casual enabling and referral (not including the stuff that seems to happen on autopilot around ribbonfarm without any direct effort on my part), but very few actual partnerships/collaboration where we share a gig or I subcontract a piece,

          I suspect being in Brooklyn with sufficient concentration of both supply and demand has made that more of a thing in your neck of the woods. I’ve never lived/worked within a happening “scene” I think

          I've done a bit more but still not much formal. I'll try and write up my experience
