1) How did you discover 7 Cups of Tea?
I?m very interested in start-ups and then heard about 7 Cups Of Tea. That?s when I joined!

When I realized that the concept is working and that we gain new listeners - this is a great feeling.

It was awesome. There wasn?t an Ambassador program before so it was really exciting to be one of the first ambassadors ever.

5) How has 7 Cups evolved since you first joined?
A lot! When I started on 7 Cups Of Tea, we sometimes were only two listeners being available - or none. And it?s so great that we are now thousands, helping people 24/7 in so many different languages. Also our design changed a lot - luckily! ;)

6) What do you think is the communities greatest challenge at the moment and where do you see 7 Cups progress in the near future?
Growing! It?s great to have so many new users each day but it?s also a challenge to make sure they all get the best training and help needed. But I think we?re on a great track to make sure quality is good and that our listeners are prepared for their engagement as active listeners.

1 Ambassador and a rabbit.

Developing new projects and leading some of the teams with my beloved fellow ambassador @Pali !

That we?re here to control and ban people. We?re not - and there is no reason to be scared of us!

10) If all the Ambassadorswhere on an island, like in the Hunger Game or Battle Royale (Japanese Movie),and you all had to battle to the death, who comes up on top?
Probably @Pali because she is vegan and would be able to gain enough energy with her really healthy lifestyle while at least @Taylor and I would have no energy to even battle without our daily pizza. :-P

11) What are your favorite and less favorite chats to take? Follow up question, do you still take chats since you became an Ambassador?
I love all chats because it makes me happy to support people. However, I really enjoy doing chats about LGBTQ related topics since I can relate to that very well and I love supporting this specific community. I took less chats since I became an Ambassador but I?m working on again doing much more chats.

In mathematics equality is a relationship between two quantities or, more generally two mathematical expressions, asserting that the quantities have the same value or that the expressions represent the same mathematical object. The equality between A and B is written A=B, and pronounced A equals B. The symbol "=" is called an "equals sign". So yes.

Listening to music! I highly recommend that! It helps to focus on chats - at least it works for me.

20) Have you told people in your real life that you use 7 Cups of Tea? If so, how did they react?
Yes, I did. Some think it?s super cool, others can?t really understand or relate to the concept, which is a generation thing sometimes I guess.

Great Question Sam!

As a group, I think we are doing well! I think it's important to remeber what our task at hand is. To be the emotional support system for the internet. We areone of the largest (if not the largest) online support networks, this is great! Setting good examples is a great way to start. Reaching out to new listeners, being kind, caring and compassionate to everyone we come across. I heard this quote once, it went something like "Everyone has at least one secret that will bring tears to your eyes". Looking at this quote,It really is true. Keeping that in mind, being a leader doesn't mean you have to be the best at what you're doing. To be a leader, you have to be passionate about what you're doing, being confident in yourself and giving 100%.

Sorry if I changed the topic a bit :)
