Tired networking events and constant pitching yourself without sounding like you selling something? In this episode, Steve Ramona shares the exact method he uses to build authentic, high-value relationships that drive real business growth. Learn how asking the right questions—and listening with intention—can turn strangers into supporters, and conversations into opportunities.

Forget everything you’ve learned about networking. In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show, I sit down with Founder of the Future Steve Ramona—host of Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart—to talk about something most entrepreneurs are getting completely wrong: how we build relationships in business. Steve has built a thriving podcast and community not through pitching or value propositions, but through presence and intention. He’s not interested in surface level polite conversions—he’s committed to connection.

Steve breaks down his ASLA method, a simple but powerful framework that starts with asking, listening, asking again, and taking aligned action. Show up in service—without hidden agendas—and being willing to build trust before making an ask. That’s why people are constantly referring him, inviting him, and wanting to collaborate with him. It’s not magic but how relationships develop when you treat people like people, not prospects.

Maybe your outreach falls flat, or your efforts don’t feel aligned. Steve reminded me that asking isn’t weakness—it’s an invitation for deeper connection. And giving value without expectation? That’s how we build connections that sustain over time.

🎧 Tune in now to hear how you can lead with service and why you don’t need more strategy—you need more heart.
