Come on.

Like just in front of them?

Oh, wow.

Good or bad.

Ooh, give it to me.

This is what I was going to say is one of the spark dopamine, a simple compliment or acknowledgement sparks dopamine from my experience.

Just by seeing someone and acknowledging something you appreciate about them or you like about them or great shoes or whatever it is, I'm going to assure you've got a great smile today.

You've got good energy today.

That sparks dopamine, right?

I really like this thing about you.

Are they good or bad?

Right.

Not good or bad.

You can have likability, connection.

You know, you're bringing up something I used to do years ago when no one knew who I was.

I was just getting started in 2007, 2008.

I used LinkedIn as a tool to create connection with people that were successful business leaders and people that had done things that I wanted to do in the future, right?

And for a while, none of them would reply to me because I started off saying like, hey, I'm just getting started.

I'm brand new and I'm looking for some advice.

Can you help me?
