221 - The One Shot Myth (Q from Anonymous)
Do you only get one chance to network with someone… or is that just something we’ve told ourselves?
In this episode, I answer a brilliant question from Anonymous about networking on Instagram, sending DMs, and how to actually build real connections — especially when it feels like you’re “using up your one shot” every time you reach out.
We talk about:
Why cold DMs often fall flat
How relationships are actually built online
The shift from “one message” to “ongoing presence”
Why being seen matters more than being perfect
And how to approach networking in person — especially if you don’t get a second chance to recognise someone
This episode is a big mindset shift if you’ve ever:
👉 Overthought a DM
👉 Worried about saying the wrong thing
👉 Felt like conversations always dry up
👉 Or assumed networking is about getting it right first time
It’s not about one shot. It’s about familiarity.
🎧 Listen now and rethink how you connect.
