Networking can be a little confusing, especially when something you’ve done (or not done) doesn’t make any logical sense whatsoever.

When I’m in another city and I want to see what neighborhoods to wander, I crack open Foursquare. Some people use Yelp, some look for the brown tinted areas on Google Maps. My friend Henry uses Pokémon Go.

Setting the table for your dinner party may seem like the job you give to eager guests who insist on helping, but it should be done with care and precision. Sure, you could drop a cup full of plastic forks on the table, but is that really living?
