Grateful to have my good friend Nathan A. Stuck, MBA of The University of Georgia & Profitable Purpose Consulting moderating (again!).

We'll be talking about how you scale & maintain the kind of relationships that result in city-sized access & opportunities.

These tactics are precisely how I built my network in Atlanta. 🏙

And they're how I'm expanding my network reach to places like Baltimore, Austin, Birmingham, and elsewhere.

This is how I built The Zero to One Networker. 😎

Many thanks to my ATP friends Nashlee Young, Julie Price, and the Tech Week team for helping set this up.

Gonna be a fun day.

Come join us for a great conversation! 🔥

The Zero to One Networker

Had such a good time last month at Super South! ♻️

Some missions are way too big for any one company -- they require broad collaborations.

Climate & clean-tech are these kinds of missions. 💥

It's gonna take a lot of network-building & strategic collaboration to tackle these obstacles.

That's what The Zero to One Networker is all about. 🚀

Super excited to be at Georgia State University this week! 🎙

Students will learn how to network with patience, consistency, & humility.

Relationship-building is a long-term strategy.

Sharing with new minds is a core aspect! 🙌

Relationship-building is about patience & consistency. 🙌

Great getting coffee with my good friend, ATL entrepreneur Mark Feinberg last week. ☕️

We had a great time discussing networks, the Atlanta ecosystem, and how to bring positive mental health advocacy to our community.

Find mentors and friends who want to see you succeed. ❤️

Those are the people who will help get you there.

2025 is gonna be an interesting year! 🚀

The Zero to One Networker

Finally getting to share my guest episode of the Never Been Promoted podcast with my friend Thomas Helfrich! 🎙

We talked all things networking & orange sunglasses. 😎

(It goes hand-in-hand with this chat I had with Nathan Stuck on his B The Change Georgia podcast that recently dropped too!) 🙌

But this is what I want people to really pick up on:

Building networks is so often about serendipity, patience, & follow-up.

I met Thomas out of the blue when I was having lunch at the Buckhead Club last Oct.

And since then, we've had some awesome dialogues about how companies can really scale & maintain their networking access. 📈

So when Thomas invited me onto his show, you know I had to say yes!

We covered:

🌱 The origin of The Zero to One Networker

🚪 Networking in unconventional spaces

🧠 Forming a habit mindset

✍️ How to write effective follow-ups

🔥 And more!

Relationship-building is critical to your company's growth.

It's not just about getting introductions -- that's just step one.

It's about how you MAINTAIN those dialogues over time. 🧐

Focus on the long-term perspective.

That's how you create a dynamic network & magnetic brand! 💥

The Zero to One Networker

People ask me: "Will AI kill networking?" 🤖

This proves that it will not.

It wasn't even 24 hours ago that I begged companies not to do THIS. 🚨

Here's why. 🧐

Because AI is a great tool -- but it's not a catch-all solution.

Don't treat it like one.

This is just LAZY.

It tells me that you don't even care to read 5 of my posts to see if I'm a good fit. 🙄

Perhaps worse, it actually shows me that your product/service kinda suck...

Because the supposedly "personalized DM" that the recipient is getting clearly isn't that at all.

So now I'm convinced that your product is subpar. 📉

There's a reason that this person *feels the need* to send 500 DMs per day.

It's likely because their network is pretty barebones and they can't get eyeballs any other way. 👀

That's not where you wanna be.

What you want is a highly engaged network built on solid, long-term relationships.

That's gonna take a little more patience than outsourcing to automated AI software.

But it's SO worth it. 📈

Wanna learn how to be different than this person?

➡️ Follow and work with me to supercharge your company's networking access. ⚡
