You can build genuine connections with folks in this industry and still be successful and donโt let no one tell you otherwise. When youโre genuine most ppl are gonna fuck with you, recommend you to others, support you and wanna see you win.
If you wanna go the other route and build fake friendships to use folks for they connects you might get a shoot or 2 off em but they gone peep game and that bridge gone get burnt soooo fast๐ฅ ainโt worth it. Trust me when I say, being genuine and a bomb ass performer/talent will get you further and a lot more consistently โค๏ธ
