EP #25 – How To Stop Networking And Start Connecting: Lessons From a Superconnector (Jordan Carroll)
byMitchell Cohen

Most people try to β€œnetwork” to grow their career or business. Jordan Carroll does the opposite β€” and it works.

In this episode, we unpack how Jordan became a Superconnector β€” not by cold outreach or climbing ladders, but by consistently showing up, adding value, and building real friendships inside aligned communities.

We talk about:

  • Why β€œwho, not how” is a mindset shift that can change everything

  • How to reconnect with the people already in your orbit

  • How community isn’t just leverage β€” it’s fuel

If you care about doing meaningful work with people you actually like being around β€” this one’s for you.

We Discussed:

  • 00:00 – Building Relationships Through Events and Networking

  • 07:53 – Building Partnerships and Creating Opportunities

  • 14:52 – Creating Opportunities Through Proactive Networking

    27:02 – Crafting Engaging LinkedIn Content Strategy

    36:15 – The Eternal Process of Dying

    41:27 – Prioritizing Relationships Through Scheduling
