Episode notes
Prioritize A Few High-Impact People
- Focus intensely on a small set of high-impact people rather than many shallow contacts.
- Choose 5–10 people and go deep with them instead of going wide and hoping something sticks.
Ditch The 'Me' Mindset
- Avoid leading with your needs or transactional requests to strangers.
- Open interactions by focusing on them and how you can add value, not by asking favors immediately.
Relationships Are Social Bank Accounts
- Relationships behave like bank accounts where you must deposit before you withdraw.
- Asking too early is like overdrafting social capital and leads to negative consequences.
