If You Can’t Find the Right Room, Build It

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you’re antisocial or bad at networking — it’s that you’ve outgrown the rooms you’re in. In this solo episode, Mario shares the story of trying to find the right group of people — business owners, investors, and operators — and repeatedly coming up short. From failed workout groups, to networking rooms with no ROI, to realizing he had shifted from owner-operator to investor, this episode breaks down why the right environment matters — and what to do when it doesn’t exist. You’ll hear: Why most networking groups stop serving you at a certain level The difference between networking and collaboration How failed groups led to clarity Why Empire Builders was created before he even knew what “M&A” was The power of curating the right people instead of chasing numbers The lesson is simple but uncomfortable: If you can’t find the room you need — build it.
