building a network & betting on yourself w/ co-founder dee murthy
guest: dee murthy, co-founder of ghost
- build your network slowly over years by consistently showing up, not by expecting instant payoff from one meeting
- at conferences introduce yourself, make a quick impression, and move on instead of over-pitching someone
- when you lose out on a role, how you respond matters since companies may circle back when timing is better
- do your homework before interviews and be easy to work with during scheduling, since friction signals how you will be to manage
- treat failure as a learning tool by taking accountability instead of blaming others for what went wrong
