Rethink Networking: The New Blueprint for Building Authentic Relationships in a Tech-Driven World

In today’s episode of Mortgage Marketing Radio, we’re tossing out the old networking playbook and redefining what real connection looks like in today’s noisy, tech-heavy world. I'm joined by Lindsey Meyer, Jen Peachman, and Philip Mancuso, three of the 25 authors behind the new book Rethink Everything You Know About Networking.

This isn’t about business cards, small talk, or shallow connections. It’s about authenticity, intentionality, and using education and human value as your lead strategy. 

We’ll explore how to create a ripple effect through small, meaningful actions, and why vulnerability is one of the most underrated tools in your business toolkit.

🔑 Three Key Takeaways

  1. Intentional networking beats passive presence – Showing up with purpose and a clear message builds trust faster than any cold pitch.
  2. Lead with value, not expertise – You don’t need to be a subject matter expert; you just need to offer useful, relevant insights people care about.
  3. Vulnerability is a connection multiplier – When you're willing to share your real story, you invite others into a deeper, more lasting relationship.
