Networking isn’t a shortcut - it’s a strategy

Too often, networking gets treated like a quick fix. Anne Pao, founder of Ignite Consulting, knows better. She joins Krissy Manzano to share how authentic, strategic connections have shaped her career - from a lunchtime run that changed everything to launching a business backed by the strength of her community. They talk about why the best networkers aren’t chasing likes or favors, how to build a network from scratch, and the simple mistakes people make when reaching out for intros. If you want your name to be the one that comes up in the right rooms, this conversation is your playbook.
