Half Episode on Building a Meaningful Relationship Instead of "Networking"... Success at Success Half Episodes are 1 on 1 Chats with athlete entrepreneur brothers Kyle Mauch and Trevor Mauch. This week we touch on networking and how to approach it and leverage it. Both of us grew up in small town Oregon, and have become some of the most well connected people in our industries.
We share a brief overview of how to build relationships, what not to do and what to do instead at networking events, and why being the connector is the most important step to being connected. You can be the connector without even being connected and we share how.
"Instead of networking I was creating real relationships. Truly care about others and just be a good person." - Kyle Mauch
