Discover a practical, actionable guide to networking and building connections like a pro without needing to be extroverted, sociable, or charismatic
“It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

If you’ve heard this before, then you probably also know the context behind it. It’s typically said in a way that casually emphasizes the importance of connections — and to excuse the undeniable “perks” of said connections.
