Something from a recent podcast episode has been on my mind... I was listening to Anthony Cheung and Liam Edward Proctor on the AmplifyME Market Maker Podcast talking about networking and honestly, it was a reminder of how many people (myself included at times) overcomplicate it. Networking doesn't have to be awkward or transactional. Here's what actually works: šŸ¤ Reach out. Even if it feels uncomfortable at first šŸ“† Go to events. You never know who you'll meet šŸ’” Ask thoughtful questions. Show genuine curiosity šŸ“© Follow up. Don't let the connection go cold Simple in theory. Easy to forget in practice. What's one networking tip that's worked well for you?
