Taking a page from my opinionated buddy Jason at HarsH ReaLiTy, I’m opening the first Hypervigilant Networking Post. It’s your turn to write!

Introduce yourself to everyone. Put a link to your blog in the comments. Add a quick summary about yourself and/or your blog.

No butt-sniffing, though.

Unless you’re this guy. 

Here, I’ll get you started. Like this:

Let’s network, people.

Love is the only solution

This guy is amazing. A good reminder…love is the only solution, but it isn’t an immediate fix. Love takes time and only works if you really mean it.
