Over the past six episodes in the Build Your Network Series we've covered why networking fails, how to treat your network as a real asset, the three relationship types you need, what separates investors from takers, how to fill your relationship bank with deposits that compound, and how to identify the handful of people who can change your trajectory.
Today we bring it all together and talk about what happens when you play this long enough for it to matter.

ABOUT THE BUILD YOUR NETWORK SERIES
Most people think networking means collecting contacts. It doesn't. This seven-part series breaks down what it actually takes to build a personal and professional network that compounds over time, a network that opens doors, creates opportunities, shows up for you when it matters most and overall gives you an edge to being successful.
Built on the framework from David Nour's Relationship Economics and supported by research from Adam Grant, Mark Granovetter, and Robert Cialdini, along with my two decades of successes and failures building a network, the series covers everything from why traditional networking fails to how to identify the handful of people who can genuinely change your trajectory.
Whether you're early in your career or decades in, the principles are the same: relationships are one of your largest assets. How you invest in them determines the return.
The Build Your Network series is 7 episodes plus a BONUS episode that runs from episode 231 to 238 here on the Productivity Podcast.
