The Art of Networking: Beyond the Business Card

  In this Business Monday episode of Ride to Independence, host Trish dives into one of the most powerful skills every entrepreneur must learn — networking. But real networking goes far beyond handing someone a business card. It’s about building meaningful relationships, creating opportunities, and surrounding yourself with people who inspire growth. Drawing inspiration from the book Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi, Trish shares why successful people treat networking as a way of life — not just something they do at events. As Ferrazzi famously says: “The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.” In this episode, Trish discusses: • Why networking is essential for business success • How to approach networking with the right mindset • Simple ways to start building your network today • How generosity and authentic connection create real opportunities Whether you're launching a business, changing careers, or simply trying to expand your circle, this episode will inspire you to step out, reach out, and build relationships that matter. 📚 Trish also recommends the book Never Eat Alone, which she’ll link in the episode description so listeners can dive deeper into the power of connection. Remember: Your next opportunity may come from a conversation you haven’t had yet.   Link:  https://amzn.to/4bLjVxC   Website: www.Ridetoindependence.com YouTube.com/@ridetoindependencepodcast Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/trishnycfitness Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/trish.manzo
