“When you can show up in service of someone else’s work ahead of your own, it stops feeling transactional.” - Carly Valancy
Networking has become one of the most dreaded words in professional life. It feels transactional, awkward, and exhausting. But in a world increasingly driven by AI and digital communication, real human connection may be more valuable than ever.
In this episode, I sit down with Carly Valancy, founder of Reach Out Party, to talk about her philosophy of “anti-networking” - a more human, generous, and courageous way to build relationships and create opportunity.
You’ll hear us discuss:
Why traditional networking feels so uncomfortable and how to approach it differently
Carly’s framework for writing “unignorable” messages that people actually respond to
The hidden fears that stop most people from reaching out in the first place
Why reaching out is one of the highest leverage things you can do for your career
How planting seeds for your future self can create opportunities years later
The unexpected internal confidence shift that happens when you consistently put yourself out there
Why meaningful human connection is becoming a major differentiator in an AI-driven world
