Quotes:
“As we say in the research world, advice is a sample size of one. What I’m looking for is much larger sample sizes so we can know what’s universally true.”
“Your best strategy is to figure out where you are in the network of your industry, city, or wherever you are looking to have a little more success in. And then figure out where you want to be, who you need to be connected to, and what the right pathway there is.”
“The most fascinating to me, in small-world networking, is if you have a Facebook account, you are 4.2 introductions away from anybody on Facebook. ”
“Weak ties and dormant ties are the reason why the small world effect falls into place.”
“Put in the work now, and it will be easier later.”
