Most people think networking is about being impressive, memorable, or saying the right thing. In this episode, we challenge that idea and explore a far more effective approach, focusing on genuine curiosity. You’ll learn why the best networkers aren’t the ones who talk the most, but the ones who listen the best, and how shifting your focus can instantly improve the quality of your conversations.

Key Themes
