A short spoken piece describing three categories for building a professional network: (1) earn your stripes by progressing to similar peers, (2) pay for relationships via consulting calls or paid introductions, and (3) engage on social media (replying to others' tweets). The speaker gives examples including influential responses on Twitter and a CEO reply anecdote.
There are three different categories of how you can build a good network. One, as you said, earn your stripes because naturally it's actually crazy how as you level up you find yourself in the same rooms as people who are on a similar level to you. So you always navigate towards like people who are doing similar numbers or whatever. Paying for relationships has been a crazy way of meeting new people. Like if there's consulting calls to a degree and then they obviously open up their black book with people they know ask questions on Twitter as well. Most of the shit that people reply to on your tweets now you, you'll reply it's kind of rude not to, you know, like they've made an effort to insert your, you're going to reply. So I'd say that's quite a good way. That's like CEO Shopify replied the other day like billionaire worth like 13 bill or something stupid.
