What happens here

The speaker illustrates the 'show up and participate' mentality at a Street Car Takeover event in St. Louis. He arrived early, saw workers unloading bins of shirts, and instead of waiting to be asked, he grabbed a bin and started helping. This proactive approach led to him being involved in the event operations. He emphasizes the importance of observing what needs to be done and jumping in without explicit instruction.

Goal: Actively participate in events or activities related to your field to gain experience and demonstrate commitment.

Tools and materials

  • Bins — Moving event merchandise or supplies

Even if I was n't racing, I still rode when I could to be involved. Because if I was without the Escalade, I could immerse myself more in the operational processes of the event and understand how it works. How does an event like Street Car Takeover work?
