Modern Hustler – Issue #22

In partnership with

In today’s fast-moving world, opportunities aren’t just found — they’re shared. And the people sharing them? Your network.

If you’re trying to grow a business, brand, or career, it’s not just about working harder — it’s about surrounding yourself with the right people. When you have connections, you have leverage. A strong network gives you access to insights, collaborations, and opportunities that most people never see.

Here’s how to build a network that works for you:

1. Show Up Where the Action Is – Attend industry events, conferences, and meetups. The more visible you are, the more people remember your name.

2. Provide Value First – Don’t just ask for help; be the person others want to help. Share insights, make introductions, and offer your skills freely.

3. Follow Up Like a Pro – The fortune is in the follow-up. A simple “good to meet you” email or message goes a long way in building relationships.

4. Leverage Social Media for Connections – LinkedIn, Instagram, and even Twitter/X are gold mines for building relationships with like-minded individuals and potential clients.

5. Mix Business with Personal – Real connections go deeper than business cards. Grab coffee, share a story, and build trust.

Remember, the bigger your network, the more doors open — but it’s not just about quantity. You want the right people who align with your goals and can help push you forward.

And if you want to look like you mean business while building those connections, check out the latest drops in the Modern Hustler Store. My Store Wear the brand, live the brand, and let people know you’re serious about your hustle.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
