How the hell do you get in touch with literally everyone on the planet? Like, how do you do networking?
Greg Eisenberg 0:08
This strategy is, is foolproof. Like you, you are able to pretty much meet whoever you want via this strategy and, and you don't need hundreds of thousands of followers. And most of those relationships began by just me literally reaching out on places like Twitter. I'm sure a lot of people are listening to this and they're like, well, Greg, like you have 300,000 followers. Of course, it's easy for you to like DM people and they're going to respond. But I've literally been doing this my entire life.
Jonathan Courtney 0:35
How do you figure out how to deliver value to someone who's already, let's say, 20 years ahead of you in the entrepreneurial journey?
Greg Eisenberg 0:45
So the first thing is... And we are back.
Jonathan Courtney 0:59
Hey. Hey there.
Greg Eisenberg 1:01
Hi. Hello.
Jonathan Courtney 1:02
We're doing this again? Are you giving it a name yet? Is it Sipping Time?
Greg Eisenberg 1:08
It's Sipping Time with Jonathan Courtney and Greg Eisenberg.
Jonathan Courtney 1:11
Hey, everyone. I'm here to ask Greg questions. The things that maybe you've been asking him on comments and Twitter are things you've been wondering about. And I think this is the show where occasionally, depending on when Greg wants to do it, he's the one being interviewed and not guests being interviewed. You know what I mean?
Greg Eisenberg 1:31
I know what you mean.
Jonathan Courtney 1:35
I watched the episode we did that came out on Sunday. I was looking at the comments and I forgot we talked about this constipation thing. We talked about doing the reverse Brian Johnson where you try to get your age markers up as high as possible so you die as early as possible. I think that's going to be game-changing for some people.
Greg Eisenberg 1:57
It sounds like something we would talk about.
Jonathan Courtney 1:59
Yeah. Greg, I have a topic for you. I have a question for you. And this is something I actually genuinely have been wondering. And there's probably a couple of different angles we can take on this. But I think one thing that one of the most valuable things I think your audience would love to know is how the hell do you get in touch with literally everyone on the planet? Like everybody I know, every investor, every entrepreneur, every company owner that I end up working with already knows you before I meet them. How do you do networking? Like... I don't understand it. You're everywhere. You're everywhere all the time. How does it work?
Greg Eisenberg 2:44
So I do a lot of cold DMs.
Jonathan Courtney 2:49
On Twitter or?
Greg Eisenberg 2:50
Just in general, email, Twitter, you name it. I'm not afraid to just reach out to people. And I'm sure a lot of people are listening to this and they're like, well, Greg, like, You have 300,000 followers. Of course, it's easy for you to DM people and they're going to respond. But I've literally been doing this my entire life. My whole life just reaching out to people. And when I was a teenager, I'd reach out to people and I'd try to add value to people's lives. And I was in my early 20s. Reach out to people and try to add value. Someone asked me the other day, they're like, I heard you talking on the podcast about having a mentor and I really want a mentor. And which is by the way, like I would never call my mentor, my mentor, you know, that's like being caught with my pants down, you know, like it's just, you're my mentor, Greg. No, no, no. You know, it's like, too late. You're my mentor now. Mentor me. Mentor me. Yeah. It's just something that, it's an unspoken thing. It's just like you have someone generally they're like 10, 15, 20 years older.
Greg Eisenberg 4:05
They've been through things that you've been through. Um, and most of those relationships began by just me literally reaching out on places like twitter and being like hey i see that you're you know you've built this thing not can i pick your brain for an hour oh fuck that fuck that yeah yeah i hate that that's the word dude or like the people oh let's grab a quick coffee i'm like why who are you Quick, quick, let's grab a quick coffee so I can pick your brain. So let me pay $2 so I can pick your brain for 90 minutes and just like hide back your afternoon.
Jonathan Courtney 4:47
There's a great meme that maybe your team can pull up. I posted it on my, I don't know if I can share my screen right now, so I'll just kind of post it to you.
