About the Episode

About the Episode: “I love networking and making small talk with strangers,” said no one ever. 

Mallory and Seth dive into the vital role of networking, exploring strategies for building meaningful connections both online and in-person. Learn practical tips on how to expand your professional network, the importance of community in conferences, and how to maintain and nurture these relationships for career growth.

Key Takeaways:

  • Networking falls into two categories: depth (internal relationships) and breadth (external relationships).
  • Consistent communication and follow-ups are crucial for maintaining professional connections.
  • Leveraging private communities on platforms like Facebook and Slack can enhance networking.
