🎟 Free Permissionless II Tickets

Ok not FREE... someone has to pay but it doesn't have to be you.

A Step-by-Step Guide For Getting Your Employer To Fund Your Permissionless II Ticket 🌱 Step 1: Plant the seed Start sniffing around. Ask probing questions about your company's professional development benefits package. Say things like "Austin TX sounds like it would be lovely in September - have you been?". Start using "Howdy" as a greeting around the office.   Mention that it's been over a year since you've attended a conference (this might be a lie, maybe you attended one last month). Say it with conviction and there's a strong possibility you won't get called out.  💪 Step 2: Start crushing it at work Already crushing it? Great! No action needed. Skip ahead to step three.   But let's say the bear-market malaise has brought down your productivity levels & you've been... slacking.   Kick 👏 it 👏 into 👏 gear 👏    Make your boss be like "WooOow" so that when you start calling in favors they feel like they owe you one. 🐦 Step 3: Send your boss some Permissionless II tweets Start with substance. Hit them with the Permissionless II launch thread so they know you mean business. Sprinkle in some memes (ex. 1, 2, 3)  so they get a sense of the culture.    Send accompanying notes like "💀😂" and "Permissionless II sure looks like an excellent opportunity to grow our network." 🗣 Step 4: Hit them with the speaker line up  You're nearly ready to ask so it's time to pull out the big guns. Let our growing roster of incredible speakers do the talking for you.  ⏰ Step 5: It's time Timing is everything. Position your request right before a price increase so there's a feeling of shrewdness. YOU'RE saving THEM money. The next price incrase is on May 4th so you have plenty of time to execute steps 1-5.    Before you sit down with your boss, manifest a yes. Picture yourself at Permissionless, surrounded by friends. Maybe you're wearing a cowboy hat. Visualization is key.    Your boss should have a sense that you want something from them given your recent productivity increase and the fact that you've been asking a lot of questions about employee benefits.    Make your case in a respectful but firm manner. Let them know you mean business but that you won't be deterred by a no.  🔄 Step 6: The follow up The follow up is almost important as the ask itself. If you didn't get a resounding yes right off the bat, repeat steps 1-5 on a bi-monthly basis. Keep it fresh. Mix up the order of the steps if needed.   Remember, you have until September so there's no rush, however your boss will appreciate the money you'll save by securing your ticket sooner rather than later. And voilà 💁‍♀️   For those of you who work at a chill company with a baller expense policy and don't need anyone's Permission...    Buy here & expense later If you find you have a particularly difficult boss, please respond to this email and I will provide our heavy-duty guide, which involves additional psy-ops & gaslighting measures (only to be used in very acute situations).    As a bit of housekeeping I must mention that Permissionless II ticket prices just increased this morning but DON'T SWEAT IT because YOU'RE not paying.    Send this link to your boss.
