Hayden Harrington, a self described introvert, could not network a room, so he built a machine that did it for him. On this episode, host Abel Pacheco talks with Hayden and Dustin Miles about partnership, teamwork, and engineering your network.
In this episode:
- The Momentum meetup grew from 20 people to over 100 a month, and every 10 minutes they rang cowbells for a "graceful exit" so "you don't just leave with one business card, you leave with a stack."
- The insight: "maybe we can figure out a system to make anybody good at networking."
- Why that engineered top of funnel earned Hayden a general partner seat without a track record.
- Abel, the natural extrovert, concedes the system beats instinct: "One thing we did not do, which I really love, every 10 minutes, let's go."
- Why a weakness turned into a repeatable system out produces a strength left to mood.
