Speaker B describes using a systematic filter to identify people worth investing in, ensuring your contributions go to those who can create real impact. Speaker A recalls knowing Joe Polish early on, illustrating how recognizing influential figures in your network matters.
So yes you need to invest in real relationships you need to contribute but you also need to have a system and a structure for thinking about who are the kind of people that fit that criteria that you want to give and create a relationship with where yes it makes sense if it does turn into a business relationship but if not you're giving to the right humans that are going to create incredible good in the world so I just think that distinguishing filter is really important for people to think about.
I think that's great too I was I knew Joe Polish before he started that so.
When he had a ponytail.
Way back yeah it's interesting like and just to watch it grow and grow and go over the years so good for you I think you made a good point there though too which is pay attention to who you're hanging around right pay attention you know that there will be people and don't be one of these people that's all about get.
