“The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.”
– Keith Ferrazzi

A man who can strike up a conversation anywhere carries real power.

Jobs. Deals. Wisdom. Relationships. Legacy.
All of it flows through people.

Talk to that old-timer about what shaped him.
Ask the cashier about their weekend plans.
Trade notes with everyone in the gym.

The point isn’t small talk, it’s presence and connection.
It’s stepping into every room with the ability to create value and invite it back.

That lone wolf routine only works in the movies.
Staying in your own world. Keeping to yourself. That’s how you shrink instead of expand.

So drop it. Smile... and have a chat with someone new.
