Friend Of A Friend (with David Burkus)

Networking. Just the word can sometimes bring chills to introverts like me. We tend to think of networking as “slapping palms” and “swapping business cards” and the whole thing often feel a little… swarmy. However, today’s guest David Burkus is here to tell us how to think differently about networking, and how we can leverage both our strong and weak ties to help us accomplish our professional goals and improve our lives. His new book is called Friend Of A Friend.
