About this listen
Jessica and Hemma of DocuSign speak with Nada Alnajafi, founder of Contract Nerds. They all emphasize how important community is to building support and connections in the legal world. Nada shares the origin story of Contract Nerds and the impact that online platforms had on scaling her business.
The three also discuss the acquisition of Contract Nerds by DocuSign and the value of community-driven insights for product development.

Key Quotes:HEMMA: People don't like the networking word, but really just enjoying the community is enough. You don't need to need anything. What I find is being generous yourself, coming to the community with a service mentality, offering to help people when you can. You're not doing that conditionally. You're not looking for something in return. But boy, does it pay dividends sometimes.
NADA: It all starts with relationships and having a community allows people to come congregate in a platform, in a place, around a certain topic that they're all interested in. To build relationships and you never know what a relationship can do for you beyond just the genuine part of having that relationship where five years from now, it could lead to an acquisition. It could lead to a new job like it did for you, Hemma. It could lead to a speaking opportunity. It could lead to you winning that negotiation when otherwise you might have been stuck and showing up for the community and for the people in your life. Just genuinely without having those expectations or trying to steer it in a direction. But just come and be yourself. And give to others what you know, your knowledge, your experiences, and share. And that's how we build trust and that's how we build relationships.
