Let’s be honest—networking feels awkward, frustrating, and downright impossible when you’re doing it wrong. But here’s the truth: 80% of jobs are filled through networking, and yet most people have no idea how to do it effectively.

In this episode, I’m spilling the secrets to networking without the ick. You’ll learn:

  • Why most networking messages get ghosted (and how to avoid it).
  • The three biggest networking mistakes that are sabotaging your chances.
  • A step-by-step framework for building relationships that actually work in today’s job market.

Whether you’re tired of hearing “networking is key” without seeing results, or you’re stuck thinking, “I don’t even have a network,” this episode is for you. I’ll show you how to leverage your warm connections, make cold messages feel personal, and plant the seeds for long-term career success.

This isn’t about sending spammy LinkedIn DMs or awkwardly pitching yourself to strangers. It’s about genuine, intentional connection—and trust me, it works.
