Networking isn’t about business cards or small talk; it’s about human connection. In this episode, Frank Agin, founder of AmSpirit Business Connections and host of the NetworkingRx podcast, shares why he left a successful law career to help others build trust-based relationships that fuel success. Drawing on powerful stories, including one from anthropologist Margaret Mead, Frank explains why supporting others, even during their “broken femur” moments, leads to stronger, more resilient communities. He offers practical, heart-centered strategies for making networking feel natural, especially for introverts, and reframes platforms like LinkedIn as places to build relationships, not pitch products. Tune in to learn how leading with generosity can transform your network and your results. Highlights from this episode:Transitioning from corporate law to creating a networking organization based on meaningful connectionsThe "healed femur" story and how it demonstrates why people seek trustworthy relationships in businessWhy introverts often have an advantage in networking because they're better listenersVolunteering for causes you care about as the best way to network authenticallyLinkedIn as a relationship-building tool rather than an advertising platformThe "five-minute favor" concept and keeping a "giving journal" to track acts of serviceAsking "How can I help you?" at the end of conversations to cement relationshipsFinding ways to proactively help others without waiting to be askedhttps://www.toddbertsch.com/podcast/episode-38-networking-that-works-building-real-relationships-with-frank-agin/Thanks for listening!
