At a conference in Austin, a speaker said 'Your network is your net worth' and I finally started treating it like a real job. What's one small thing you do to build connections?

I set a calendar reminder for every other Friday to text two people I haven't spoken to in a while. It's not a sales pitch, just a genuine check-in to see how they're doing. That regular, low-pressure contact has kept more conversations alive than any big networking event for me. It feels less like a chore and more like just catching up with folks.

Honestly, I try to remember one specific thing about their life, like their dog's name or a project they mentioned. When I see them next, I ask about that detail instead of just "how are you." It shows I was actually listening, and it always sparks a better, more real talk.
