Where does this fit? Networking 101 covers the prep — who to meet, how to show up, and how to start the conversation. If you're stuck there, it's often an emotional blocker that benefits from 1:1 support. Networking 102 is what happens after — and that's exactly what we're tackling here. Networking 103 is the long game: what you do once your network is warm and working for you. Interested in 101 or 103? Reach out at [email protected].
