Summary

If the word “networking” leaves you *screaming-crying-throwing-up* –– you’re not alone. Networking hasn’t always had a negative connotation, but in recent years, networking events just feel like brag fests and places to collect business cards that will probably end up in a shoebox in the back of your closet. But networking doesn’t have to be hundred people events or sliding into people’s DMs unsolicited –– when done well, it can establish powerful connections with industry leaders and mentors that can help set you on the best path to success in your career long-term. To talk about the power of authentic networking, we sat down with Aleenah Ansari to talk about how she used networking to help land a job in tech without the traditional background or experience. Tori and Aleenah walk through what works and doesn’t work when you’re trying to connect with others in your career and how you might be missing a key step to building lasting relationships.

0:00.0	Networking is actually really about building meaningful relationships and
0:04.6	sustaining them over time. And that's always what I'm trying to do is when I'm
0:08.7	meeting somebody new, usually my goal is not to get a job or an opportunity. It's
0:13.5	actually to learn from that person, whether we are only talking for 30 minutes or
0:17.7	we talk every week for the next five years like I have with some of my mentors.
0:21.4	And if you're really rooted in learning from people and being curious about
0:25.4	them and then following up further down the line, then you've truly built a
0:29.6	relationship and that person can be an advocate for you and vice versa.
0:35.4	Hello financial feminists. Welcome back. If you're new to the show, or you just
0:39.8	need a refresher, I'm your host Tori Dunlap, money expert, millionaire, and
0:44.3	Timothy Schall and my obsessor. And I'm so excited that you're here. We are a
0:49.0	show all about how money affects people differently, specifically women and
0:53.0	other marginalized groups. So while we will talk to you about how to pay off debt
0:56.4	and save money and start investing and get a job that compensates you fairly
1:00.8	that you love, we're also going to talk about things that are a little sticky
1:04.1	like abortion access and voting and gun rights and all of the things that are,
1:10.1	I shouldn't say gun rights because gun control, we want gun control. Let's be
1:15.1	clear. We can keep that. We want to be clear about what this is. So we're
1:19.8	going to have nuanced conversations about feminism and money because they go
1:24.2	hand in hand. Money runs the world and I want you to be able to run both. A
1:28.4	quick note, if you are listening to this episode on release day or during release
1:32.1	week, we are taking a little out of office as a team may first through sixth.
