You have hundreds of contacts on LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Instagram. But when you actually need help, you freeze. You don't know who to call. David Homan has spent his career solving exactly that…

Uh, I'm, I'm really curious to know about, like, you know, people say, uh, you need to build network and you say orchestrated connecting.
There's a difference in building a network and an intentional and purposeful community.
And so when you say in your intro, like, who really has your back, who of all your contacts will actually be there for you? When you've built trust with people around you, then you have a community, not when you're in a place of abundance and everything going well, but when you really need it.
A network is way more superficial and just there to exist to maybe match opportunities.
So, uh, you mean to say basically, uh, you surround yourself with people who are more connected to you rather than superficially connected?
I surround myself with people where my instincts are based on shared trust, vulnerability, curiosity, and action that I actually know that they would deliver for me or the people that I love and trust, 'cause they've already proven it over and over again, as have I. There's a difference of having met somebody or went to school with them or worked with them and somebody who's shown up when you need it, made an intro that got you a job, got you into a conference that got you to the investor for your startup, or got you a, a guest spot on a podcast.
If we judge the world based on those that took action on our behalf, it's a very quick filter, uh, of who's there for you as opposed to who's not.
That is somebody who spends their world and their life, uh, making introductions, building relationships, most often not for their own benefit, but to benefit others.
So I run a global network that has 2,600 active people in 35 countries and 189 cities, all of whom have one code, and this is the behavioral psychology part of my work.
They are action-oriented natural givers that I would leave my children with, and that's a high bar, but therefore it creates the highest level of trust amongst people who build trust at massive scales.
So h- how do you convince people to come on such a platform when there are so many, uh, platforms like LinkedIn available for building professional networks?
So if you or I were at an event together and I said, uh, "This is somebody that I know.
One of them helped three of my friends with work that they're doing, uh, back home, um, in, in India.
