Ashish Kothari tells Anish to stop treating networking like luck. Set aside two hours a week to meet specific people, introduce others, and diversify across gender, seniority, and backgrounds. Make it a regular task, not something you do when you remember.
My advice to your question is each of us needs to grow and strengthen our network, get much more comfortable activating our network. And it doesn't have to be on our own behalf. Maybe I'm connecting you, Anish, to somebody else. And third, diversify your network, right? Not just women in your network, different levels, different gender, different backgrounds, outside relationships, inside relationships, all of that kind of push and being systematic about it. You and I have done so much ops work over the years. I, tend to operationalize anything I care about. So let's say it was my goal to strengthen my network. I would put 2 hours or whatever the right amount of time is on my calendar every week, and I would get systematic about who am I going to meet,
