Show Notes
Your network isn’t just a list of contacts. It’s your most valuable asset — and most people are going about it the completely wrong way.
Mike Adams, founder of IntroStars and host of The Super Connectors Podcast, spends his days connecting people and has learned what separates the people who build lifelong networks from the ones who just collect contacts.
In this episode, he shares the networking mistake that repels the right people, how to get people to answer your messages, and what it takes to become someone others go out of their way to help.
