Awfully Quiet

#75: Networking Makes No Sense Until It Does ft. Rebecca van Dijk


Listen Later

Networking feels pointless… until it’s the reason a door opens for you. The wild part? The biggest career moves often trace back to small, quiet connections you didn’t think much of at the time.

In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca van Dijk, founder of Peer Suite, to talk about networking in a way that actually works, especially if you’d rather do anything else.

We get into:

  • The biggest mistakes people make and why it feels so awkward
  • How to build real connections without forced small talk
  • Low-key ways to start networking that won’t drain your social battery

If networking has ever felt cringey, unnecessary, or just not your thing, this convo might change the way you see it. And who knows? Future you might thank you for listening.

✨ If this episode hit home, drop a quick rating. It's like a quiet nod of approval that helps more people find the pod.
