"Networking is dead!" says Sahil Bloom - Do we agree?

Loading player...
We were very intrigued by Sahil Bloom's recent article "The Anti-Networking Guide" so naturally John and Rudolf had to talk about it on the podcast.

Do we agree with Sahil that networking is dead?
Yes we think so!

Smart relationship building is where it's at, and Sahil gave four great principles of anti-networking.

We cover each one individually and share what we think can work for you. Plus we share our practical tips for finding the right rooms, starting interesting conversations, and maintaining connections.

Here is the original article:

We appreciate Sahil's approach to networking and encourage you to follow him everywhere on social media.

Let us know if you agree or disagree that networking is dead?
