[01:18] Eric and his friend had no idea what to do at their first event. Then they realized that other people were just as introverted.

[01:40] At future events, they just introduced themselves to anyone in the room they wanted to speak with. It was a simple opening to future connections.

[02:15] When people feel that they know and understand you, they will connect with you.

[02:40] When people feel a commonality, they are more likely to work and connect with you.

[03:00] Don’t force connections, just find truths and similarities that can facilitate a bond.

[03:35] Don’t be the person just throwing their business cards at every single person.

[03:55] Start with building ONE strong relationship.
