I Reach Out to People Regularly Because Connections Matter
In this episode of The Daily Hint, we delve into the importance of staying connected with those who matter most—both personally and professionally. Relationships aren’t static; they require intentional effort to flourish. Yet, amidst busy schedules, many of us forget a simple truth: small, consistent acts of outreach can transform how we nurture connections.
The practice is simple but powerful: make it a habit to check in with friends, colleagues, or mentors regularly—not just on birthdays or special occasions. This doesn’t mean overloading your calendar but prioritizing the relationships that enrich your life and career. A quick message, a phone call, or even a plan to meet in person can deepen bonds that might otherwise fade over time.
Key takeaways from the episode include:
• The importance of consistency: Strengthen connections through regular check-ins, not just reactive responses.
• The balance of intention and frequency: Focus on quality over quantity to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
• The ripple effect on personal and professional life: Building trust and goodwill fosters opportunities and lasting bonds.
Connection is a cornerstone of personal and professional success. Take 60 seconds to discover how this practice can enhance your network and deepen your relationships. Listen to the full episode now.

If I do not hear from a friend for a while, let's say a couple of weeks, I will reach out to them. And you think that's normal, but a lot of people don't do this. And it's not that I'm reaching out to everyone that I know all the time. Yes, maybe to their birthday, but it's more about. that my best friends, they know that I'm busy and I know they're busy.
So I just have a reminder every couple of weeks. And hey, did I talk to this person? Did I talk to that person? And specifically for the people that I want to stay in contact with. And then I reach out to them and say, Hey, how's it going? What's going on? Shall we plan a talk? Shall we jump on a call? Shall we meet in person depending on where they are in this world?
And that is such a simple thing that every one of us should be doing. Let's connect better with each other and care about the people that we love.
