Elite Privilege, Ivy League Schools, and Uncommon Advice for Building a Network

The world is still driven by social interactions.

Rand’s Mom was running an old-school print marketing company. Her clients started needing web sites, so she introduced Rand. He dropped out of school and went into business for himself.

My interview with Hugh Forrest, director of SXSW Interactive.

Rand doesn’t have a big plan when he attends conferences. He always tries to be his authentic self.

Help Me Help You Dinner. Bring people together. Tell them what you need help with. Explain how you can help.

How important are blogs these days? Rand explains.

A blog enables you to publish simply and easily.

Think of your own personal brand just like an organization of a larger size and have a content strategy.

What is it that you’re publishing that’s going to earn you the attention, interest, and awareness that will hopefully earn you trust and likability.

Advice about blogging. Promote other people!

Don’t ignore SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

SEO is a process, it’s an ongoing thing.

SEO, amplification, social media are muscles. You need to flex them or they will fade away.

Tips for finding your audience and niche.

Ask, “What do you need help with?”

Put yourself in your audience’s shoes.

Rand tries to run his entire life using Gmail.

My mission is to help. Serendipity will do the rest.

Social Norms VS. Market Norms.

Be a more authentic version of yourself.

Business is people. It’s all about who you know and how you communicate the value of what you’re doing.

Pinky decided he wanted to move to Portland to be closer to his family after living in Nashville for eleven years.

He had to figure out what industry he wanted to be in.

LinkedIn and Google helped Pinky find his tribe in Portland.

He set his aim on small to medium sized businesses with no more than 50 employees in the tech / entrepreneurial space.

Pinky used LinkedIn connection requests to introduce himself to contacts he determined. It worked like “gang busters”.

He was already in tune with who’s who and what’s going on in Portland before moving there.

Most people still miss the boat on what LinkedIn can be.

Take the initiative to reach out and introduce yourself. That’s the start of the conversation.

I like to see LinkedIn not so much as a magic bullet, but a means to an end.

Pinky shares some important tips on optimizing your LinkedIn profile.

A career is forever or until you die.

It’s amazing how many layers there are of communities in the same geographical spot.

LinkedIn is the counter point to Google.

Used LinkedIn’s “Advanced Search” and search by industry and your zip code.

How to get an introduction to a warm lead using LinkedIn.

“I wanted to introduce myself.”

How informational coffees can help you.

Pinky shares some fantastic ice breakers for your introductions.

Ask, “What would you do if you were me?”

There are no accidents in the grand scheme of things.

The music industry teaches you to be a master networker or you won’t survive.

If business is people, than it’s important to know the people involved in the business you want to be in.

Combine who you know with a willing spirit.

Must join music industry organizations in Nashville: SolidNashville, The Country Music Association, Maris, and ACM.

The difference between a job and a career is that a job is something you do for money. A career is something you do because it defines you personally.

Why waste the best hours of your life to something you hate?

Peter Shankman explains a common mistake businesses make when hiring.

Help a Reporter Out (HARO) is an email newsletter that connects sources to journalists. Peter grew this list to nearly 300,000 people!

If you create content that people want, they will use it.

You need to make sure the content you are creating is for the people who want it.

Having an audience is a privilege, not a right.

The term “email blasts” offends Dave.

PR Week Magazine said Peter Shankman is redefining the art of networking.

He brought 150 CEOs together to go skydiving!

How Peter approaches conversations and listening effectively.

Focus on what you can give in networking. What can you create that lets people get something beneficial? How can you help?

Too may people go into networking trying to figure out what they can get. Think “what can I give?” instead.

Social Youdia.

Peter’s “Be the Ball” email newsletter.

As you get into your daily grind, it’s easy to forget what you are doing. Peter took a step back to brand himself better.

Live in the moment.

You can’t make something viral, but you can make something amazing. If you make something amazing, people will want to share it.

Peter has been blogging since 1995. He shares his thoughts on the importance of producing content these days.

It’s so simple to create content. Set up a GoPro on your window in your car and talk to it as you’re driving to work.

People don’t bother to realize how much their content can help, change, or involve people. Incorporate it into your daily life. “Short Burst Downtime”.

Derek Coburn created unnetworking events. He borrowed the term from Scott Stratten’s book, UnMarketing.

We need to unlearn what we have already learned in order to be more effective in the way we approach it (networking).

In order for a networking event to be successful for anyone, it is directly correlated by how many people are there for the same reasons as you.

Derek never intended to make his Cadre events large. He vets his members to be sure they are CEOs and business owners. They bring guests to the events who pay $250. His events begin at 3:30 pm instead of after work.

Derek explains how to trigger on-going reciprocity.

He loves connecting people and providing value to his network.

You need to find ways to make it easy for people who want to help you.

His clients want to help him, but the introductions often don’t take place. He created a couple of email templates for his clients to use to refer him.

When you make it simple for people, they will act.

Todd Henry begins by telling us about his latest book, Die Empty: Unleash Your Best Work Every Day.

We need to take time and stop and enjoy the ride sometimes.

What people think of the title, “Die Empty”.

What is the most valuable land in the world? Todd explains.

When I get to the end of my life, I want to know that I haven’t left my best stuff inside of me.

So many people are being carried along by their work day to day.

Kickstarter Ticker watch.

It’s not about squeezing every ounce of work out of you. Instead, it’s about making sure you’re being purposeful about how you’re spending your focus, your assets, time and energy.

Todd started his podcast, The Accidental Creative, as a conversation about creativity in the workplace. It became one of the top business podcasts in iTunes in 2005.

How to be prolific, brilliant and healthy all at the same time.

Todd branched out to start his own consultancy after learning of consistent issues about workplace creativity from his interviews on his podcast. His podcast led to his consultancy!

Todd's new book will be available next summer.

Accidental Creative episode “Unstuck”.

Todd talks about going outside of your circles to establish new relationships.

“To commune with great minds.” - Steven Sample.

You meet people all the time in your life. Are you paying attention to those times when there’s that ping? Those are the kinds of people you need to reach out to.

How can I engage this person, so we can stretch one another to think in new ways? How can I build time into my life, so we can get together to talk about ideas.

Who are those people in your life?

We discuss mastermind groups.

Todd explains how he manages the relationships in his life.

Todd has a routine where he thinks about open-relational loops. Who does he need to reach out to today?

I mention Nimble, which helps to manage your social connections.

I recommend using Facebook birthdays as personal reminders to check in with your network. I have a video explaining this in detail in the NBN Club.

We talk about meeting in-person and stepping out of your comfort zone.

The love of comfort is the enemy of greatness in life.

Find problems, don’t just solve them.

Todd takes courses on his flights from downloading lectures from iTunesU.

Check out CodeAcademy.com.

If Todd had to begin building his network again, here’s what he would do…

Find people you respect and ask to spend some time with them.

All relationships involve risk.

All of us think everyone else has it figured out more than we do. We think that everyone else is some how more advanced than we are. The reality is that all of us are making it up as we go (at least a little bit).

Be as contextually authentic as possible.

Buy someone a drink and ask them how they got to be doing what they are doing. Do this.
