🥋 He’s got a double black belt in karate and in human connection.

In this week’s episode of The Super Connectors podcast, I sat down with Steve Spiro, the Master Connector himself, and wow!

This guy doesn’t just talk about networking. He lives it, breathes it, tracks it, and yes… even monetizes it (without ever making it awkward).

💥 Golden nuggets you’ll want to steal:

“Networking is like prostitution. Connecting is where the magic happens.”

“I don’t ask for anything. I just show up, and money follows.”

“Success doesn’t come from randomness. You need a system.”

👊 From growing up bullied and friendless to now running his own speaker series and inspiring thousands, Steve is living proof that anyone can become a master connector.

⚡️Also: why tracking your intros (hello, introstars 👋) is a total game-changer.

🎙️ “It’s never about today.”

That line stuck with me from my chat with Jaime Schwarz - founder, brand therapist, connector, and full-time extrovert (even though he didn’t know it at first!).

In this episode of The Super Connectors podcast, we dive into:

🔹 Why the best connectors don’t try to be Super Connectors, they just are.

🔹 How Jaime discovered he was an extrovert by accident (thank you, BBDO New York hallways).

🔹 The weirdest part of monetising intros: when both sides of the deal say “You should’ve gotten paid!”… but no one actually pays you 😅

🔹 Why transparency is 🔑 in introductions, and why tools like introstars change the game.

🔹 And this gem:“You always err on the side of karma.”

If you’re building your brand, making intros, or just trying to make sense of your network, this episode is a must-watch.

🔥 New Super Connectors podcast drop! And it’s a spicy one.

Meet Conlyn Chan: one of the most unexpectedly powerful super connectors I’ve ever met.

She doesn’t walk into a room shouting about her network. She flows in with warmth, asks a killer question… and suddenly everyone wants to know her.

She’s got this Jedi-level ability to build trust fast, and quietly make magic happen behind the scenes.

💬 “I don’t network to be seen. I connect because it lights me up.”

We talked about:

- How to build deep relationships without being loud

- The secret to turning “small talk” into real talk

- Why listening is your ultimate power move

- How to connect from the heart, not the hustle

And my favourite quote of all:

👉 “Don’t be the loudest in the room. Be the one everyone remembers afterwards.”

This one is for anyone who thinks you need to be extroverted or salesy to build a strong network. Spoiler alert: you don’t.

🚨 HOT TAKE: Referral fees aren’t sleazy - hiding them is.

Just dropped S2E02 of The Super Connectors podcast with NYC community legend Ben Yurcisin (our introstars NYC lead) - and he came in 🔥 about honest intros, real value exchange, and how to win in the noisiest city on earth.

“I’m just upfront with everyone.” - Ben

“It’s okay to get a referral agreement in place as long as you’re upfront with people and it’s clear, and it’s still a mutually beneficial experience.” - Ben

What you’ll hear in this episode:

- The NYC playbook for becoming that person everyone trusts to make the right intro

- Exactly how to talk about incentives without killing the vibe (spoiler: transparency > tactics)

- Why “value exchange” beats vanity metrics - and how Ben keeps both sides winning

To kick-off season 2 of The Super Connectors podcast, I'm bringing you Mister International himself 😉

“I kind of tripped into becoming a super connector.” - Greg

If you care about building a real network (not just a contact list), this episode is for you.
