00:00:00.000I just want to say it's a very natural thing to we all want to step into something that's already established and waiting to welcome us in.
00:00:08.880But the process of how an AFA community develops is a very simple one.
00:00:14.900Simple doesn't mean easy, but it does mean simple.
00:00:17.520The roadmap is clear. It takes one person to join, to stick around somewhere, to actively participate.
00:00:26.000and then when somebody comes along and says hey you know I wish there was somebody else in Michigan
00:00:31.900well hey I know a guy now we'll get the two of you guys together and then we get three of you
00:00:38.080guys together and then four and then five and it snowballs over time into a community and when the
00:00:44.560community is large enough we get Hoffs closer and closer to you and that's the path and sometimes
00:00:52.640it's a long one sometimes it's a short one sometimes something catches fire and you get
00:00:57.840a bunch of people really quick but the only way that happens is by folks joining and i'd say this
00:01:03.680you know i worked in the bar industry for a long time and what we would see sometimes on a slow
00:01:08.000night everybody look in like oh it's dead and they keep walking and then somebody else would look in
00:01:14.320like man it's slow and they keep walking somebody else looks in a few minutes later man it's slow
00:01:19.920and they keep going if every one of those people just came inside and had a beer all of a sudden
00:01:26.400people go oh wow there's two or three people in there having a wow there's four or five people
00:01:30.240out wow there's six or seven next thing you know it's night that's how it happens though is people
00:01:36.320want to signing up and getting there and you need that you need that pioneering local to where you're
00:01:42.720The biggest step in Ausitru is the step from your couch to the front door.
