Burning Your Network Is Bullsht | Business is Bullsht Ep. 25

Your network is everything until you torch it. In Episode 25 of Business Is Bullshit, James Hornick, Jared Gibson, and Jon Tsourakis break down why people keep burning their networks to the ground, often without even realizing it.

From sloppy introductions to unreturned emails, ghosting, bad client work, bogus referrals, and the all-too-common "I definitely want to connect!" lie at networking events, the guys dig into the small behaviors that quietly destroy trust and opportunity.

They cover the three roles in every referral situation: the referral, the referee, and the connector. And why each one comes with responsibilities. (Rule #1: Reply to the f!king email.)

Expect real stories, mild therapeutic venting, and a clear message:
If someone puts their credibility on the line for you, don't blow it.
Respond. Follow through. Say thank you. And if someone keeps sending you junk referrals? That's a one-to-one conversation, not an excuse to ghost.

The guys also unpack:

***Why goodwill is the most underrated form of business development

***When "I'm too busy" is just lazy boundary-setting

***How shitty buyers burn bridges just as fast as shitty vendors

***The psychosis of networking-event promise-makers

***Setting clean exits instead of ghosting

***Why serendipity still matters, but so does character
