57. The Secrets To Building a Powerful Network of Friends w/ Noah Berkson
Description
The power of a great network can’t be overstated—and Noah Berkson is an expert community builder.
He's a serial entrepreneur with multiple exits, founder and host of the Dose of Greatness podcast, Co-Founder of Outcove Valley a series of events for high caliber leaders, and a member of YPO.
He’s made 1,000+ introductions in the last year (3 per day!).
We discuss:
✅ Make introductions the right way – Always provide context so both people see the value.
✅ Say yes to everything in your 20s – Opportunities come from showing up.
✅ Pick up the tab – When dining with someone much wealthier, covering the bill makes an impression.
✅ Make friends, not “connections” – Real relationships > transactional networking.
✅ Find your X factor – He cold-DM’d Jess Mah because she flies planes. A unique hook stands out.
✅ Vulnerability is underrated – Being open, stumbling, and failing brings people closer.
Tune in to learn more about the cold outreach, handling objections, and the biggest mistake people make about networking.
