Mick Hunt argues you shouldn't chase big opportunities directly. Instead, build credibility through smaller adjacent ones, make noise in your niche, and let gatekeepers notice you as an authority. Visibility and qualification attract the bigger placements.

For a media perspective, I think networking the right way is networking around the room and not necessarily going directly to the target. You know, so many people, they'll listen to something and they'll watch something, and I'll say, oh, I want to go speak on this show. Oh, I want to go. I want to go to Tamara hall, or I want to go do Breakfast Club. But all those things have different approaches. I think at the same time, and networking around that you might need to take care of something else to qualify you to be on some of these other things. At that point, you got to make enough noise. So have you made enough noise in your lane or in your space to make it so that when you do make an ask for something, a huge opportunity, or you might take something that's a small opportunity, but the right person sees you and it becomes a bigger opportunity? You have to, one, put yourself out there, but then, two, you have to make enough noise to make it where people see you as an authority and as someone that's credible in your space.
