Jimmy Soni - How To Meet Elon Musk (& Other Famous People). Ep. 42 (Part 2)

(PART 2) "I wish I was connected with less influential people", said absolutely no one. Let's be real, we all wish we had a chance to connect with famous & influential people. Whether for business or personal reasons, I'd bet the majority of you have at least one A-list individual you're dying to meet & talk to. I know I have like at least 58 or so.
What if I told you there were things you could start doing today to dramatically increase the odds of successfully connecting with them?
Today's guest is the incredible author Jimmy Soni! Jimmy spent 6 years researching and writing a comprehensive book about the founders of PayPal. Not only did we dive into his book The Founders, we spent the first half of the conversation discussing the "how" of networking with people who most consider inaccessible. You say, "What does Jimmy know about this?" Well, he sat down with Elon Musk at his home and interviewed him for several hours. So that right there should highlight he knows a thing or two!
This is probably the most tactical conversation I've had so far on the show and it's chocked full with actionable networking & sales strategies! Jimmy's an incredible author who's written a number of books and has another couple bangers in the works! Oh, and he's just so damn likeable too.
