Here are 6 books I’d recommend adding to your reading list:

1. The Art of Witty Banter by Patrick King

Learn how to think on your feet, keep conversations flowing, and become someone people genuinely enjoy talking to.

2. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

One of the most influential books I’ve ever read. A timeless reminder that the secret to becoming interesting is becoming genuinely interested in others.

3. Never Eat Alone by @keithferrazzi

A masterclass in building your network, creating opportunities, and developing meaningful relationships by giving before you ask.

4. Every Conversation Counts by @riazmeghji
Learn how to move beyond surface-level small talk, ask more meaningful questions, and make people feel truly seen and heard.

5. Captivate by @vvanedwards
Understand the psychology of social interactions, make better first impressions, and become more confident in social settings.

6. The Charisma Myth by @oliviafoxcabane

Discover why charisma isn’t just something you’re born with. It’s a skill you can develop through presence, warmth, and confidence.

Here’s something I’ve learned after more than a decade in sales and hosting hundreds of networking events:

Your ability to connect with people is one of the most valuable skills you’ll ever develop.

It can change your friendships, relationships, career, business, and ultimately the quality of your life.

And the best part? It’s a skill you can practice and improve every single day.

5 books that gave me an unfair advantage in finance. 📚💰

Not because they taught me how to “get rich quick.”

Because they changed the way I think about money, markets, risk, and decision-making.

If I could go back and rebuild my financial education from scratch, these 5 would be on the list.

If you showed this photo to 19-year-old me in Ukraine, I wouldn’t have believed you.

I first read Never Eat Alone during my second year in university.

@keithferrazzi was one of those American authors who felt like a rockstar from another universe.

Back then, authors like Keith existed somewhere very far away — on the other side of the world, on the cover of a book. The idea that our lives could ever cross didn’t even occur to me.

You definitely didn’t imagine ending up in their home, having dinner alongside their friends.

It wasn’t even a dream. It felt too far outside the realm of possibility to dream about.

And yet, here I am.

I’ve read Never Eat Alone many times since then.

And for years, I’ve practiced what Keith teaches — building relationships before you need them, being generous, bringing people together, and investing in people instead of collecting contacts.

I am, in a very real way, a product of the people I’ve been surrounded with.

Once, someone called me “a natural community builder.” The funny thing is, I was born a very shy kid. The skill to be out was learned and practiced over years. And eventually, it became second nature.

Keith taught me early that networking isn’t collecting contacts. In fact, because of him, I’ve grown to hate the transactional version of “networking” we so often practice.

Build relationships first.

So here I am, watching Keith do exactly what he preaches at his own home. He invited us into his world. Not just into his house — into his relationships. And he was giving, giving, giving.

In fact, I am coming home with baggage I’ll be unpacking for the next few months.

This photo still feels surreal, and serves me as a strong reminder: keep putting in the work, expand, invest in people - one day it will become real.

I have a rule when I travel: never eat alone. 😂

My friend, Keith Ferrazzi may have written the book, but I’ve been happy to embrace the philosophy.

Whenever I travel for a keynote, conference, or workshop, I look at who I know in that city and reach out. For an extrovert like me, being somewhere and not connecting with people feels like a missed opportunity.

This week, Michigan Medicine brought me to Ann Arbor to lead two workshops, which gave me the chance to catch up with my friend and fellow Thinkers50 Radar Award winner, Dr. Marcus Collins. 🙌

Marcus and I have a funny number of overlaps. He studies culture. I study high performance. He’s in marketing. I’m in adult learning and leadership. We’re both scholar-practitioners. We both have new books coming from Hachette.

And we both know that the harmonies of Boyz II Men are very hard to beat. 🎶😂

Here’s what I love about these meetups: I’ve known Marcus for years, and I still learned something new from him. I hope I contributed something new for him, too.

That’s how relationships stay alive. You make the time. You show up. You ask questions. You exchange ideas. You laugh. You learn.

So the next time you travel, before you start Googling what to do in town, ask yourself:

Who do I know here that I haven’t seen in far too long?

Then send the text. 📱

A steelworker’s son from Pittsburgh became the youngest chief marketing officer in the Fortune 500, and he credits the climb to a system anyone can copy.

Twenty years after Never Eat Alone, Keith Ferrazzi’s research institute studies the world’s best teams, and the finding rhymes: the highest performers treat peer relationships as the actual unit of work. He calls it co-elevation... going higher together, without waiting for permission or authority.

"Never Eat Alone" by @keithferrazzi book is filled with practical advice that deeply resonated with me as the founder of a small but growing community.
These are some of my favorite quotes from the book;

"Success in Life = (The people you meet) + (What you create together)"

"Real networking is about finding ways to make other people more successful."

"Disciplined dreamers all have one thing in common: a mission. The mission is often risky, unconventional and most likely tough as hell to achieve. But it is possible."

"In building a network, remember: Above all, never ever disappear."

"Acquaintances represent a source of social power and the more acquaintances you have, the more powerful you are."

"Benjamin Franklin believed that a group of like-minded, achievement-oriented individuals could dramatically leverage each other's success to do things otherwise impossible."

"Today's most valuable currency is social capital."
