@nevemind_com Keepingup with the jones in the age of AI spam swarms, is going to be interesting. I think we will move towards purposeful communication. Like the award system in PH. It awards purposeful communication over shallow AI swarm chatter

Keep it authentic more than "working"
@kostyabolsh how do you approach it?
@nevemind_com time to time choosing to talk to people without agenda

Providing mutual value. Unfortunately, some people think it's a one-way street.
It is the wait for me
Getting started was the hardest part of networking. I felt afraid and unsure about trying something new. But I quickly realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. So, don't hesitate to get started – be bold!
Before I had adopted a "shoot your shot" mentality, I was very discouraged by the lack of responsiveness in networking.
Now, I am grateful to connect with individuals who will lend me their precious time to share insights and experiences.
Initiating conversations and breaking the ice can be the most challenging part of networking.

I would say for me personally would be to find other like minded people who have the intention of actually connecting and supporting each other. Not just collecting contacts and followers.
I've seen a lot of people on this website trying to gather following rather then exchange ideas and support their fellow founders/entrepreneurs
@constantine_stan Give first philosophy is something worth remembering and implementing.
Unfortunately often we think on how to use our network and get desirable return, but that approach doesn't bring you far. In-depth build relationships do.
