It’s not. AJ and Johnny break down why the real driver of opportunity is social capital — and how the most connected people aren’t the ones collecting contacts, but the ones consistently creating value inside their network. From making the right introductions to sharing relevant insights and offering real emotional support, this episode reveals the three currencies that turn relationships into trust, access, and opportunity. If your conversations feel good but never turn into anything meaningful, this is the missing layer.
