You love it when people ask how they are. (And if they don’t ask, you are VERY skilled at working them into conversation.)

When they call to ask for cooking or home improve - ment tips, you drop everything to look up the request - ed recipe and text-bully your husband to mute his Zoom meeting to weigh in on which power drill to get.

When you meet someone working in the same field as their desired career, you automatically network for them.
