Summary

This is my networking hack: I dig through my inbox. Find an email chain from eight years ago (that I probably never responded to). Then I write back as if no time has passed at all. People love it. They forgive you for disappearing. And they're glad you got in touch. But that's my ONLY networking tip. Jordan Harbinger is the complete opposite networker than me. He's an expert at it. He's built thousands of relationships that have led to a top podcast, 6 million monthly downloads, speaking gigs, freedom to work for himself, be creative daily and more. In this episode, he tells me how he keeps track of people, build relationships, re-engages old, lost connections and what you can techniques you can use in your life starting now.
