Reaching Out to Potential Guests on Social Media
Jon Jon and the hosts explain how communication with a guest unfolded across YouTube and Instagram direct messages.
The group discusses how they coordinate guest appearances after Tiny asks about a potential guest at 10:40. Jon Jon explains that he noticed a comment left on their YouTube channel and replied publicly to establish contact at 11:30.
Jon Jon details the steps he took, explaining at 11:38 that because the guest's Instagram privacy settings restricted incoming messages from accounts they did not follow, he had to navigate mutual connections to coordinate an invitation. He emphasizes that the intention was to provide a platform to discuss community matters in Leimert Park at 12:00.
Tiny and Mackwhererudo playfully tease Jon Jon about whether he claimed to know the guest beforehand, but Jon Jon clarifies at 12:18 that he never claimed personal familiarity and only reached out after seeing the initial online engagement.
