What’s A Question You Love To Be Asked (Or Asking)?

I do not rely on a specific question as much as I focus on the quality of the conversation.

I try to approach interactions with a genuine interest in the person, not just the business outcome. The best relationships I have built came from real human connection, not transactional networking.

It is no different than being a first year at Hancock dorm at UVA. You were not thinking about networking, you were just building relationships with people you enjoyed being around.

I have carried that with me. In my experience, strong business outcomes tend to follow strong relationships, not the other way around.
