Travis and producer Eric break down the real skills behind meaningful networking, from first impressions and handshakes to group text intros and double opt-ins. They explore how to treat “networking” like making real friends, why bad introductions can damage trust, and how to thoughtfully connect people in a way that actually adds value. This episode is a tactical, relatable guide to becoming someone others are genuinely glad to meet and be introduced to.

On this episode we talk about:

Why basic body language, eye contact, and a simple “Hi, I’m Travis” beat over-rehearsed pitches when you meet someone new.
How to navigate handshakes, daps, and hugs without creating awkward moments (or accidental crotch-hand sandwiches).
Why networking events feel sleazy when you treat them like in‑person cold calling and how to shift into genuine curiosity and friendship-building.
The right way to stay in touch—why business cards usually suck, and why Instagram or phone numbers are better for real follow‑up.
How to make introductions the right way using “double opt‑in” intros, proper context, and thoughtful framing so both people feel respected and excited.

Top 3 Takeaways

Great first impressions are mostly about energy, body language, and making people feel good—not delivering the perfect elevator pitch.
Treat networking like making friends: ask genuine questions, listen closely, look for common ground, and resist the urge to immediately pitch or sell.
Introductions are powerful value-adds only when you get consent from both sides and frame the connection with context that makes each person look like the best version of themselves.

Notable Quotes

“People won’t remember what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel after meeting you.”
“Going to events and treating every human like a prospect is the fastest way to make sure nobody actually wants to talk to you.”
“Always get the double opt‑in on intros—otherwise you’re not adding value, you’re just creating awkward obligations for your friends.”
