And he's like, yeah, because I'm working with A-list celebrity on a project called And I was like, really? That person would be amazing. And he goes, oh, yeah, I'm literally seeing him tomorrow. I bet you he would do your podcast. I'm going to ask him. And that blew my mind because this person was asking me to introduce them to my web designer. So I earned my web designer a referral.

He was very stoked. And this guy was like, thank you. I've gone through five web guys and the first three ripped me off and the other two did a crap job. I'm like, oh, you're going to be taken care of. And now I might get this really, really interesting guy for my podcast because he has a good relationship with him. I had no idea that he had that relationship. That is not why I helped him.

So when you help 100 people, if 99% of them never do anything for you, but you're helping them in a scalable way, you are kicking ass. You get the short end of the stick 99 out of 100 times. Collect all those short sticks.

I tried, it was quite difficult, but what I did was I realized going to those meetups where you drive across town and you're like, lawyer's happy hour, that was a nonsense way to do this. It's a lot of takers at networking events because they go to network. Most people, again, only build relationships. The phrase I've stolen is dig the well before you're thirsty. Usually people don't do that.

They are dying of thirst before they decide to network. And what that means is they go up to you and ask you for a job. And if you can't help them, they move on to the next person or whatever. They ask you for something. You don't meet good connections or network or build relationships at networking events most of the time.

So what I started doing was applying the help other people without the attachment of anything in return. And how I applied that during my very short-lived legal career was When people were asking me how my law firm job was, I was brutally honest with them, the positives and the negatives.
