Nick talks to the amazing Callum Laing about the crucial role of networking and connections in achieving success, particularly for founders and business owners. 
Callum emphasises that talent alone isn't enough; success is driven by who you know and how you leverage that network, sharing personal experiences of building a network from scratch and introducing his "CARES" framework (Connections, Authority, Reach, Equity, Service).
KEY TAKEAWAYS
<ul>
 <li>Success in the modern world requires more than just talent; it hinges on building and leveraging a strong network</li>
 <li>Callum's framework outlines five pillars for building a powerful career: Connections (who you know), Authority (what makes you worth listening to), Reach (surface area for luck/opportunities), Equity (creating ownership opportunities), and Service (who you are trying to help).</li>
 <li>The most powerful way to grow a network is by constantly giving value without immediate expectation of return</li>
 <li>Instead of simply trying to sell one product, successful networkers build an ecosystem of services and solutions</li>
</ul>
BEST MOMENTS
"Most of the value that we deliver in the world actually has a lot less to do with us and a lot more to do with who we're connected to."
"If you're in the wrong room, it doesn't matter how talented you are, how hard-working you are—you're not going to get fully compensated for it."
"The way I think about reach is about surface area of luck."
