Networking for Introverts Who'd Rather Get a Root Canal I Greg Roche Networking advice was built for extroverts. Go to events. Make small talk. Collect business cards. For introverts, it feels like punishment. Exhausting. Fake. Pointless. Greg Roche—known as The Introverted Networker—disagrees. He's living proof you can grow a powerful network without awkward icebreakers, or pretending to be someone you're not. In this conversation, we expose the myths keeping executives stuck—and the truths that set introverts free: Why “I don't have time to network” is a myth How 15 minutes a day beats every networking event How to be “easy to help” so people actually follow through The mic drop: The more connected we get through technology, the less connected we are as humans—because we've outsourced our humanness to tech Plus, a simple, immediate action to restart your network today This isn't about becoming someone you're not. It's about using what makes you different to your advantage—and reclaiming the kind of human connection technology will never replace. Whether you're an introvert who dreads networking—or an extrovert who's been doing it wrong—you'll walk away with a playbook that actually works.

Rakesh Kilaru is a partner at Wilkinson Stekloff, a litigation boutique. In this episode we discuss these frame-shifting principles:- Be a trial generalist, not a subject-matter silo. Position the firm (and yourself) as first resort for trials across domains, so calls keep coming even as subject areas cycle.- Choose environments that improve decisions. A fixed-fee model (no billables) removes distortions, encourages collaboration, and lets teams right-size effort to outcomes. - Working with other firms and against elite opponents creates a constant idea pipeline.- People + process first. Map the real stakeholders, build trust on both sides, and make sure everyone who needs a say is actually in the loop before deciding

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16262&preview=true)  Starting a job search without a strategy is like wandering in the dark. According to Find Your Dream Job guest Mher Mardoyan, most job seekers make the mistake of immediately updating their resume and applying online without a clear focus. This "spray and pray" approach leads to zero responses because it lacks intention. Mher's seven-step framework transforms job searching from day one: identify your core values, maintain a positive mindset throughout the marathon-like process, and craft compelling stories that make you memorable. Successful job searching requires treating it like a project with weekly goals and dedicated time blocks. Rather than applying to 50 jobs with generic resumes, focus on fewer opportunities where your skills truly align. The key differentiator? Networking and relationship building – many positions are filled through referrals, not online applications. About Our Guest: Mher Mardoyan is a career coach who helps early to mid-level professionals find jobs faster.  He's also the host of the Career Advice Podcast, Crack the Hiring Code, Get Hired.  Resources in This Episode: Visit his YouTube channel  Connect with Mher on LinkedIn.
