Just released The Super Connectors podcast S2E17 with Noah Obstfeld who casually calls himself a “serial introducer” (yes, it sounds illegal… but it’s actually wholesome 😄).

A few nuggets I had to share:

“Introductions have more warmth and friendliness than ‘connections’.”

Yep. Words matter. Energy matters.

He basically treats networking like eating vegetables:

“Get out there. It’s a real must.” (annoying… but correct)

His monetization take was refreshingly blunt:

“Be unapologetic about the value… this costs money, this costs time.”

(Say it louder for the people pretending it’s “just vibes”.)

He’s not “closing deals” at events. He’s collecting introducers:

“Not everyone is a potential client… everyone is a potential introducer.”

That mindset shift is everything.

On AI + networking: use it for speed, not for pretending to be human.

Because nothing replaces trust. And AI intros feel… AI-like.

Also: Noah’s building Pitch Roast Live, a live comedy startup pitch night where founders pitch and comedians + investors roast them. Absolute chaos (in a good way).

If you’re an SDR/BDR/founder who hates cold outreach and secretly wants networking to feel less like work and more like real life… you’ll enjoy this one.
