When I started networking, I thought being genuine was enough.

I showed up.

I asked good questions.

I even hosted events.

But after a year?

A lot of friendly chats.

Zero traction.

I didn’t want to be sleazy. I'm not that kind of 'numbers' guy.

But being warm and well-liked wasn’t moving anything forward.

Then I learned there are three kinds of networking:

Transactional — strategic, but selfish & sleazy

Aimless — authentic, but ineffective

Intentional — strategic AND authentic

Most introverts avoid the first.

We fall into the second.

And never learn about the third.

Intentional is strategic && authentic.

Intentional is building alignment — not just being seen.

Intentional is how I stopped floating and started building.

Build community. Without breaking yourself.

We all start as strangers.

Curious what "intentional" actually looks like?
