In this episode, we talk about “Networking”, or as I like to call it, "making friends with cool ass people".
When I was 21 years old, I graduated from UC Berkeley, worked at a cubicle at Intel, was living at my mom’s house... with 0 online presence, network, or mentors.
Fast forward 20 years later, and MUCH of my success can be attributed to the people I’ve met over the years.
Tim Ferriss, Andrew Warner, my biz partner Chad Boyda, and many more….
In this episode, I cover 9 specific tactics you can use today -- to connect with successful people in your industry!
