More than friends

Everyone and their mom is “out there networking.” Coffee chats, cold DMs, LinkedIn posts about being “so inspired after grabbing coffee with a legend”… Sometimes it feels like I missed the memo on when talking to people got rebranded.

What I secretly think is that you already have a network, whether you built it on purpose or not. It might be your classmates, coworkers, friends, or that one person you met at a random event and somehow still follow on Instagram. That’s all a network. The question isn’t if you have one, it’s what you’re doing with it.

If your network already exists by chance, imagine what happens when you’re intentional with it. When you shape it to reflect your values and your goals. That’s when your network stops being random and starts being relevant.

Opposite to what it might feel, networking isn’t a performance. It’s checking in, following up, helping others without a hidden agenda. It’s choosing who you surround yourself with and why.

So here’s your gentle challenge this week: Say hi to someone you admire, reconnect with someone you miss, offer help where it’s needed. Your future self will thank you and so might someone else.

🎬 Movie: Mickey 17

I was soooo excited for this movie, I love Bong Joon Ho’s films and I also really like science fiction, so I had it in my list.
In this story, Robert Pattinson plays Mickey, an “expendable” crew member who can be cloned any time he dies on the job, during a space expedition to colonize a new planet. The story is a unique mix between a comedy and a serious look at moral dilemmas that come with cloning, space invasion, and science in general. Not what I was expecting but worth a watch!
