The Super Connectors

Most founders completely mess up warm intros. There, I said it 😅 In this episode of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC, I sat down with the one and only Anthony Rose from SeedLegals , aka the man who somehow knows every founder, investor and niche startup in London and NYC. Cricket protein for humans? He knows someone. Geothermal energy for data centres in Texas? He knows someone. Carpet reselle...

Most people think networking is about talking. Justin Murray from Plug and Play thinks it’s about asking better questions. A few golden nuggets from our latest episode of The Super Connectors podcast: 🔥 “It all started with one question to a judge.” After losing a startup pitch competition in high school, Justin chased feedback from the judge, and that convo triggered a domino effect that eventua...

What if networking isn’t about collecting contacts……but building your own “relationship economy”? 🔥 Loved this episode of The Super Connectors podcast with Adam R. Connors , founder of NetWorkWise and the brilliant “More Than Just a Lunch” community in New York. Adam’s definition of a super connector? “Selfishly benevolent value creators.” Cheeky. Accurate. Love it. A few golden nuggets from our...

Just dropped a new episode of The Super Connectors podcast with the legendary Mike Brathwaite … and honestly, this one is really eye-opening. One of my favourite lines: “It wasn’t about meeting lots of people. It was about meeting the right people… and trying to make a difference.” We spoke about: - why most networking is completely broken - why “anyone can be my client” is the worst answer ever...

Most people think “super connectors” are playing some kind of game. Tori. Hanson isn’t. 👉 “I never think what can I get out of this.” Because in a world obsessed with ROI, funnels, and “what’s in it for me?”… she’s just out there connecting people to make the world a bit better. No tracking. No agenda. No spreadsheet of favors owed. A few gems from this episode: • Her first event had 7 people… an...

Just dropped a new episode of The Super Connectors podcast with Andy Walsh and this one is full of gold for anyone building in startups. A few things that really stuck with me: “If you don’t have a network, you can’t survive in New York. Let alone build a business.” Andy’s built, exited, invested, advised, and one thing kept coming up again and again: The real edge is better people. In a world ful...

Excited to drop a new episode of The Super Connectors podcast with Natalie Ledbetter … this one is full of pearls of wisdom. One line in particular stayed with me: “It’s only been in the last couple of years that I’ve realized how expensive my network is.” That’s such a good way to put it. A few golden nuggets from our chat: 1. The best connectors are deeply curious Natalie said her network didn’t...

Back from SXSW and this bonus episode of The Super Connectors podcast was a fun one. I sat down with Andy Karuza from NachoNacho after joining 3 of his events at SXSW , where he brought together an insanely good mix of founders, operators, VCs and proper super connectors. A few golden nuggets that stood out: 1. The best connectors don’t ask “what can this person do for me?” They ask: “Who could th...

Just dropped Season 2 Episode 18 of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC 🎙️ with Liz Capants - an impressive low-key Chief Headhunter & Master Connector. A few punchy takeaways that I really enjoyed: “I honestly have no idea how it happened.” (Liz, when I asked how she built such a massive network) Her “secret” isn’t a hack, it’s simple: she genuinely loves meeting people and stays curious. Net...

Just released The Super Connectors podcast S2E17 with Noah Obstfeld who casually calls himself a “serial introducer” (yes, it sounds illegal… but it’s actually wholesome 😄). A few nuggets I had to share: “Introductions have more warmth and friendliness than ‘connections’.” Yep. Words matter. Energy matters. He basically treats networking like eating vegetables: “Get out there. It’s a real must.”...

Just dropped Season 2 Episode 16 of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC with Lee Ann Chan (recruiter turned career coach turned “I’ll-connect-you-to-your-next-job” machine). My favourite bit? “Yes, leverage AI… but you still need to care from your heart.” “Nothing replaces someone who cares.” A few spicy nuggets from the convo 👇 “Super connector” isn’t a title. It’s a habit. Lee Ann’s definition:...

Just released Season 2 Episode 15 of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC with the one and only Natalie Neptune aka “the Group Chat Queen.” 👑 This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought: “Networking is cringe.” Cool. Same. That’s why this convo hit. A few golden nuggets: Natalie literally built 300+ group chats in college. (Casual.) She’s obsessed with taking people from URL → IRL because online is g...

Just dropped Season 2 Episode 14 of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC and my guest isn’t a “super connector”… He’s a meta connector: David Homan (the guy who connects the connectors). 🕸️🔥 A few moments that made me pause the recording like “wait… SAY THAT AGAIN”: “The best super connectors are humble.” The real ones don’t brag about who they know. They listen… then quietly make the one intro yo...

Just dropped The Super Connectors podcast S2E13 with ilias anwar 🎙️ (Recorded Sept 2025 when he was at SeedLegals , he’s now at Cliqk since Nov 2025) This one’s for anyone who’s ever walked into a networking event thinking: “I have nothing to offer.” Spoiler: you do. My favourite golden nuggets from ilias : “Giving value without expecting to receive it back.” ← that’s the whole game. New York is “...

Recorded in NYC with Andrea Garau ( Rocket Mixer® ) aka the guy who curates events like it’s an art form. A few golden nuggets you’ll want to steal immediately: 🔥 “Networking is a form of art.” Not a party. Not a vibe. A skill. 🧠 The bit nobody wants to hear (but everyone needs): “The real event begins when the physical event ends.” Translation: if you don’t follow up, you didn’t network… you ju...

Just released S2 E11 of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC 🎙️ With Pam Kavalam , a natural connector who basically treats humans like Pokémon… “gotta meet ’em all.” 😄 A few gems I’m still thinking about: ✅ Her “networking hack” is hilariously simple: At ClassPass she sent an intro email… 30 people replied… so she just kept going. Every Tuesday at 10am: she’d Slack two people and grab coffee. Re...

To celebrate the new year, I'm dropping a special bonus episode of The Super Connectors podcast, which was recorded LIVE at SaaStock in Dublin with the one and only Nathan Latka 🎤🇮🇪 And yep… it got spicy in the best way. Nathan basically said:“In the age of AI… showing up in person and being real is a real advantage.” (Translation: your “Nice post!” comment is fooling nobody 🤖) A few gold nugget...

“Nice people finish last.” Yeah… Matt politely called BS on that. In Season 2 Episode 10 of The Super Connectors podcast, I sat down with Matthew Silberman and we went deep on something most people feel but can’t quite articulate: 👉 Being human is becoming a competitive advantage. A few standout nuggets from the convo: ⚡️ A super connector just speeds up what was already meant to happen 💃🏻🕺🏻...

“Connection rich, cash poor.” That line from my latest Super Connectors podcast episode with Michael Roderick hit hard. In Season 2 Episode 9, Michael breaks down what it really means to be a super connector, not as some flashy title, but as what he calls a “web spinner”: Stop trying to climb higher ladders. Start spinning bigger webs. 🕸️ A few golden nuggets from our chat: 💡 Ambiguity is krypton...

She’s connecting families to life-saving resources, founders to funders, and souls to purp...

🥋 He’s got a double black belt in karate and in human connection. In this week’s episode of The Super Connectors podcast, I sat down with Steve Spiro , the Master Connector himself, and wow!

He lives it, breathes it, tracks it, and yes… even monetizes it (without ever making it awkward). 💥 Golden nuggets you’ll want to steal: “Networking is like prost...

🎙️ “It’s never about today.” That line stuck with me from my chat with Jaime Schwarz - founder, brand therapist, connector, and full-time extrovert (even though he didn’t know it at first!). In this episode of The Super Connectors podcast, we dive into: 🔹 Why the best connectors don’t try to be Super Connectors, they just are. 🔹 How Jaime discovered he was an extrovert by accident (thank you, BB...

🔥 New Super Connectors podcast drop! And it’s a spicy one. Meet Conlyn Chan : one of the most unexpectedly powerful super connectors I’ve ever met.

🎙️ Just dropped: The Super Connectors Season 2 Ep. 4 with the one and only Bobby DiFazio . He’s the kind of guy who walks into a room and everyone somehow already knows him. Bobby builds tribes when he networks. 🔥 Nuggets from our convo: “Networking isn’t showing up. It’s showing up for people. ” He turned bar conversations into business partnerships - and happy hours into ecosystems. “Most peopl...
