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

  1. Great first impressions are mostly about energy, body language, and making people feel good—not delivering the perfect elevator pitch.

  2. Treat networking like making friends: ask genuine questions, listen closely, look for common ground, and resist the urge to immediately pitch or sell.

  3. 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.”
