How to Get Career Advice from People You Admire

Lucas and Luna explore the art of reaching out for career advice from people you don't know. They break down a Stanford study showing that people are 46% more likely to agree to a small favor than you expect—and how that applies to cold LinkedIn messages. Lucas shares a specific template he used to land a coffee chat with a VP at Microsoft, including the exact subject line and ask. They discuss why framing matters (advice vs. favor), how to make it easy for the other person, and what to do if they say no. Plus, the hosts talk about a listener's successful cold email to a CEO that led to a job offer. The episode closes with a conversation about the ad-free mission of the show and how listener support keeps it that way. #CareerAdvice #Networking #ColdEmailing #LinkedIn #Mentorship #Stanford #SocialPsychology #CareerGrowth #JobSearch #ProfessionalDevelopment #LucasAndLuna #Fexingo #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Mentor #Sponsor #Advisor #NoAds Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
