Exercising my networking muscles has become a natural reflex.
Instinctively, my mind moves like a pinball that lights up with ideas about who to mentor bring together.
I don’t have second thoughts about how introducing two amazing people benefits me because I have a generous mindset, What I give will boomerang back to me.
