It set me back years in building professional relationships.

I remember skipping all those early career events. A random conversation at a dog park actually connected me to a mentor later on. Kind of wild where connections happen.

Man, same here! I started forcing myself to say yes to one coffee chat a month and it opened way more doors than I expected. What changed your approach?
