Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward, transactional, or pushy. Chris and I are talking about one of the most intimidating (but powerful) parts of growing your business. Whether you’re sitting down at a dinner party or chatting with someone in an elevator, you need to know how to start the right relationships without coming off as pushy. In this episode, we share the exact questions we use to start meaningful conversations, how to keep the connection alive after the event, and the one rule we always follow to play the long game. Plus, we dive into why short and confident answers about what you do matter more than long bios, and how to position yourself as the connector everyone remembers. Get ready to make networking feel natural and change the way you show up in every room.
