Stop Networking. Start Connecting.
What if the problem with networking is that we're doing it exactly the way we were taught?
In this episode of Rich and Remote, Alex sits down with Jim Morris, keynote speaker and author of Connect or Die: How to Survive AI, to talk about why genuine human connection matters more than ever.
Jim shares how a major turning point in his life taught him that he couldn't navigate everything alone, and why building meaningful relationships can create opportunities far beyond a single business transaction.
The conversation explores what real connection looks like in business, from conferences and sales calls to relationships that continue long after the original deal is done.
