"Huh, networking, people still do that?"
"What, do you mean actually talk to someone, in person ?"
"No way!"
"Can't I just text or email them?" 💬
"Isn't just being on social media, the networking of today?"
"That old-fashioned networking is for old people and not relevant today, right?"
"I don't like talking to people!"
Networking, is more important now and today then ever before...
Networking is a skill that anyone can learn.
If Steve Spiro, this shy and introverted dude can do it, anyone can.
Today Steve can speak to anyone at any time! How do you walk up to someone and break the ice?
What do you say to keep the conversation going?
What do you do when the conversation dies down?
Make the magic move 👉what do you say to get their contact info?
Where do you invest your time and where do you go?
These are all questions early on that I struggled with. In today’s episode we will cover all of this, provide some helpful tips and debunk some myths.
Networking (or what I like to say, connecting) shouldn't always be random, although sometimes it can be…it should be intentional!!!

Some takeaways to expect:
1. Networking is a life skill
2. Ask how you can best connect and provide a connection
3. Do not be afraid to try different personas in networking
