This week’s conversation had us thinking a lot about systems — how people track relationships, follow through on introductions, and stay intentional about connection in busy seasons of life.

Our guest, Megan Roudebush (founder of keepwith), shares her approach to networking as a long game — one built on curiosity, follow-through, and respect.

It’s a thoughtful episode for anyone who’s ever wondered:

• “How do people actually do this well?”
• “And how could I be more deliberate about it?”
