Today's episode is a personal development episode, where Erik Bergman and Emil Ekvardt explore topics about how to grow as a person and get a better focus.
We are both personal development junkies and spend many hours every week sharing our ideas and reading about new things. This episode is great for you who want to learn about our latest perspective.
We share lots of personal stories, talk about how it applies in our lives, and where we have learned it from.

In the first topic, we talk about how networking is a misunderstood term. What the differences are between networking wide and networking deep. How Erik started by networking very wide in his teenage years and how that has given a foundation for deep relationships today. It started with Erik asking himself "How to network online?" and "How to find inspiring friends?"
In the second topic, we talk about what the easiest way to start networking online is. How you can use the social media traffic of big accounts to get yourself out there and find more people to inspire and that can be inspired by you. There are some tricks that surprisingly few are using that we will teach you.
In the third topic, we are building networking machines that network for us. Once again we are utilizing social media but this time we teach you how to use your own account to find people with similar interests and make them come to you – a crucial part of how to network online and how to find inspiring friends.
In the fourth and final topic, we dive into what might be the most important part. How to write a perfect email that makes someone wants to hire you, be your mentor, or even your business partner. Very few people know how to write great emails, so we will give you a step by step formula.

Social media channels:
Thank you so much. Since the very first minute I have been entirely captured. Your conversation is so deep, honest and authentique, I believed you. And your tips about email wringing are priceless, it is what we all lack. We try to “network”, to grow our community not ourselves, it became not a communication but a self “presuminess”, and we are losing the ability to listen and to ask questions. We narrate but not interact. Thank to you both, there is so much value in this podcast. I definitely subscribe.
Thank you!! ❤️????? Very happy to hear it and thank you for being caring to comment and let us know!
Thank you so much for making this episode. It was the exact thing I had to hear. When it comes to point number 4, how to build a networking machine, I highly recommend checking out the book Show Your Work by Austin Kleon to anyone who’s afraid of putting himself out there and being authentic.
Thank you both so much for the, honest, helpful and humble content ye continue to produce. The goal of giving ” the best value per minute of any podcast” has well and truly been surpassed.
Congratulations erik ,I ‘m watching your podcast from beginning and It’s good to see how fast your channel grew from 1k views to 51k views . Although you aren’t posting a lot on insta as you used to do before . But it’s ok , afterall you have considerable audience on youtube too.
Hey i am ready for 21 days challenge ,great podcasts, great value ,amazing content excited ? to see all best 21 podcasts
You got this! <3
This podcast episode changed me a lot now I understand how to network with people in a better way and an effective email, Thank you
Hey, great podcast. I just discovered it through instagram reels (during procastinating :P). I always want to become better but in all the time (I am 32 now) I didn’t really asked myself why. But today I have tried to answer this question and it was very difficult and I am not really satisfied with my answers. That’s why I want to ask the community: Why do you want to become great?
We are currently planning our next two episodes on the topic of “Self-esteem” and “Confidence”. I believe both of them give interesting answers to your question. First one should come out sometime in January 🙂
Cool, looking forward to it 🙂
Hey SmilingErik, The way you introduce the power of networking blew off my mind. I made out written notes of it. And I’m gonna use these ideas in the forthcoming days. You gave me insight, show me the right path to start my journey which is long procastinated. I highly appreciate your work. Pls keep updating us on these life changing habits. Much support! Thanks;)
