Most people think networking means handing out business cards at awkward happy hours or LinkedIn-spamming strangers with connection requests. But in this episode, Shawn and George flip the script — real networking has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with how you show up for people every single day.

Tune in for a candid conversation about what networking actually is, why most people do it wrong, and how shifting your mindset can open doors you didn't even know existed.
