The Social Domino Effect [Social Intelligence Brief]
What if the biggest wins in your career, relationships, and social life didn’t require three separate strategies? In this episode, AJ and Johnny reveal the Social Domino Effect—how one small, high-leverage shift can cascade into success across every domain of your life.
They unpack why confidence, chemistry, and connection all draw from the same meta-skills, why social capital compounds like financial capital, and how to identify your first domino. With real client stories and research in psychology and network theory, this episode shows how to stop playing three different games—and start tipping one domino that knocks them all down.
