Most networking advice stops at "put yourself out there." Avni Barman has an actual system: cold messages fired off before she's brushed her teeth, and a Thursday wine bar reservation that turns two contacts into ten. She walks Jay Schwedelson through the daily habits that built a community of hundreds of thousands of women, plus the lazy thirty-second thing she started doing at a job she was trying to get fired from.

Best Moments:

(01:26) What Gen She actually is: a media company and a fund pointed at the same audience

(04:29) Why cold messaging has to be a daily practice and not a once-a-year event

(06:37) Skip the people next to you at conferences and go straight for the speakers

(07:40) Book one casual reservation, ask for plus ones, walk away with ten new connectionsㅤ

(11:03) The daily screenshot habit she invented out of laziness that turned into a $40,000 raise

(14:07) When you hit rock bottom, everyone else's opinion about your career gets very quiet
