Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re antisocial or bad at networking —
In this solo episode, Mario shares the story of trying to find the right group of people — business owners, investors, and operators — and repeatedly coming up short.
From failed workout groups, to networking rooms with no ROI, to realizing he had shifted from owner-operator to investor, this episode breaks down why the right environment matters — and what to do when it doesn’t exist.
You’ll hear:
Why most networking groups stop serving you at a certain level
The difference between networking and collaboration
How failed groups led to clarity
Why Empire Builders was created before he even knew what “M&A” was
The power of curating the right people instead of chasing numbers
The lesson is simple but uncomfortable:
