“There may be transactional benefits to that relationship…but I think the actual underlying reasons that compel us to patronage are much less logical than that. Patrons pay for the ritual, and the ritual tames them. These are ongoing relationships, not transactions.”

👍“Mentors & advisors (good ones, anyway) don’t invest in people because they want to get paid. Friends…don’t hang out with you because they need something in return. They’re there because they weirdly fell in love with what you’re doing, and they want to see you succeed.” https://twitter.com/nayafia/status/1115750460504199169
