[00:35] First and foremost, start a podcast!
[00:50] Have a unique spin on what you’re doing.
[01:32] When Eric started, he would spend six hours per week on the podcast only to get 9-30 downloads per day.

[02:26] Interviewing people will make it a little harder to build a business relationship after the fact.

[03:30] Offer your services to people to gain respect.
[04:28] People often offer to work for free just to make a connection.
[05:28] Figure out a person’s interests to work a better angle to establish a relationship.
