#514 Why the Best Networkers Don’t “Network” (And What They Do Instead) with Scott MacGregor, Founder of the Outlier Project

Like if anyone's phone rings anywhere in the world, they look down, they go, oh, it's Oprah Winfrey. They're taking that call. And so Oprah has tremendous access. So Gayle King is Oprah's best friend. So I know Gayle King when she was a local TV anchor here in Connecticut.

And Gayle King's ability back then to do things was nothing in comparison to what her ability to do things is now as Oprah's best friend. So access gives you opportunity. And when you have a list of those people and you look at it every day, you can think, what can I do to pour into these people so that I can further this relationship. So I'm very intentional about building those relationships.

Well, I guess I am doing a lot, but it's organized and it's structured. There's actually a process to doing it.

Yeah, I mean, it goes on and on. Planned random texts are one of my favorite things to do. So, for instance, like, I'm going to wish you a happy birthday on August 14th every single year, but I would rather send you a message September 14th because you're probably not going to get anywhere near the volume. So... planning those things out is something I do. Or I believe in being in the moment.

When I see something good, when I see something that I want to celebrate, I don't wait because I'm going to forget. I do it immediately. So that's why you've been the recipient, unfortunately, of some of this. You get the me at 5 a.m. on my treadmill. I've got bedhead. I got bags under my eyes. Thank God. I'm sure I'm not smelling great. That's not an issue.

But if I'm thinking about somebody in those moments because I'm maybe seeing something that they accomplished on social media, I'm going to send a message. I don't care what I look like. And those things are really appreciated. And then... You know, I love to gift things. I'm a big gift giver.

And I think sometimes people get paralyzed about gifts because they think you have to spend a lot of money. And in some cases, you should. Like, if you're going to do something, make it best of class. But it could be something that's just thoughtful. So, for instance... Brandi Chastain is a good friend of mine. So Brandi is a two-time World Cup champ, two-time Olympic gold medalist.
