When Don 😎 Meets 🐱👤 Ninja - MoonChild1206
When a Don meets a Ninja, you know something is cooking.
And what comes up is this - a new interview series with our popup Ninjas
What's a Popup Ninja?
A host who has hosted 3 or more popup sessions within a week and has earned a Popup Ninja badge 🐱👤
What do they look like?
This

Without much further ado, let's see what @MoonChild1206 has to say about their popup hosting experience.
Don: Ready?
Moony: Thank you *starts munching and sipping* I feel honored that you chose me to be interviewed 😊
1) How did you first come to know about popups?
"While I was enrolled in the GLDD Program, I became very interested in attending/hosting group sessions in the chat rooms. Eventually, I heard some others users discussing an upcoming popup session in the Free Hugs Room. I was very curious about it so I participated and I really enjoyed it! I find the environment in popups is quite different than other rooms and discussions normally. Everyone was really involved and having a good time talking about a more positive subject."
2) What made you host your first popup?
"After my wonderful experience in the Free Hugs Room, I decided to try and bring that same happiness and joy to others by hosting my own popup session, so I applied to become a Puffy. Soon after being accepted, I looked into what kind of sessions I could host. There was one discussion topic that caught my eye, it's called "I'm weird and I know it" So I chose to host that as my first session! Quite a few people participated and they all said they really enjoyed the session and that I should continue to host more often! 😊"
3) What made you host the popup again?
"Since I received such positive feedback from my first popup, I figured I should do it more often. I really enjoy hearing everyone's thoughts. I then got notified of a new popup script for birthdays and cupaversary which I found to be divine timing because my birthday was just coming up. I made a post and tagged some users to bring attention to it. My birthday popup was a very fun session with many lovely people! We shared cake and snacks, I received some beautiful gifts from beloved friends 😊 We listened to my 7 Cups Spotify playlist chatted about many subjects including Dragonball 😛 We had a great time together.
I definitely look forward to hosting more popups in the future!"
4) What is your favorite room and why?
"I don’t like picking favorites because they’re all so amazing! But I do really enjoy the Listener Sharing Circle Room because I find there’s usually so much positivity and kindness being spread between the listeners supporting each other. Everyone listens to the others journeys and provides care and loving words. I also love to hear all the answers to the questions from the spinner wheel."
5) What are the benefits of hosting a popup?
"I believe there are many benefits to host popups! It's a great opportunity to connect with the community. They are usually more light-hearted than other discussions on heavier topics. Usually you learn something new from the group chat. It's a chance to be creative with discussions, there can even be games happening. I encourage others to host popups as well to get the leadership experience as well as have a nice, fun chat with other people on 7 Cups. "
6) Describe popup in 6 words.
"Open, Fun, Creative, Social, light-hearted, caring ❤️"

Hi Moon! 😊❤️ *high fives* on becoming a pop up Ninja! What it is that you do is very important to the 7cups community and all of your teammates here! I loved hearing your responses. Well done my friend! big *hugs* ❤️
Hi Don! 😊❤️ No worries, I'm coming around to you too, lol! Don't think for a moment I would forget about you! Thank you for conducting the interview and for all of your incredibly thoughtful questions!
Well.....I may have a secret to share with all of you. ❤️ I imagine Don would be way too humble to say this to anyone, so "Gizzie enters stage left" and says it for Don! What many may not know is that Don is the "OG"....the original gangster when it comes to being a pop up Ninja! Hmmm, maybe it should be the "ON" original Ninja? Either way, I'm sure everyone understands my meaning. 😊
Don truly has so many amazing leadership qualities! I guess for me, my big 3 that I look for at first blush are funny, smart and kind. This to me is the total package of being a great human being. Total package! In addition, Don has an uncanny sense of recognizing true talent when he see's it! He knows exactly what he is looking at.
Secondly Don, with recognizing the talent, will then take it to the next step, harnessing the energy, reaching out to teammates here on 7 cups and finding a way to utilize those talents. He is quick to notice strengths and will work in tandem with others to get the job done!
Don, gotta' say, we had some fun back in the day with pop ups! Thank you for taking this program to the next level! *high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️ Keep rocking the house! You got this!
@DonaldDraper
Awesome interview!
Thank you all so much for appreciating the efforts of puffies. @Sunisshiningandsoareyou , @VaryingCloud , @Bubblegumwings1234 , @MoonChild1206 , @mattpobrien4 , @SparkyGizmo , @Smilybeans
And a big big thank you to our sparkling @SparkGizmo *big hugs* you rock 💖
Your reply made my day :)
Yes, I remember when we used to cohost and you used to be so compassionate with the participants (like you always are)
A high praise to you for all you do for your fellow listeners. If anyone doesn't yet know, sparky has a big heart that makes them help and appreciate everyone they come across. Be it their random badge nomination or long paras of kindness, sparky never fails to spark someone up.
(another nomination coming your way 🙃)
And lastly, the popups would not have been here today without our awesome puffies and community peeps who support them. They all contribute in some way and keep the community morale afloat.
Thank you all and thank you all who help our puffies directly or indirectly 🧡🤗
@DonaldDraper
Thank you Don! 😊❤️ Just wow! You have no idea how amazing it was for me to read your words, thoughts, feelings about me and the work I do here on 7 cups! I'm so grateful for you! ❤️ Your response to this forum post was the very first thing I got to see when signing onto the site for the day! Seeing things like this only gives me fuel to my fire, fills up my cup and your positive affirmations, I will carry in my heart all the day long!
*high fives* 😊 big *hugs* ❤️ Stay great my friend! 😊❤️
