Ivan talks about systems of communication that help introverts expand their network. Learn how he progressed professionally and was uncomfortable meeting new people. As a result, he created a “system” that enabled him to meet people in an organized, structured, environment that did not require that he actually talk to strangers.
“It is not who you know, it is how well you know each other that counts”
