Want to expand your social network? Lace up your conversational running shoes.

Dr Ivan Misner is back with his latest book, "Networking is a Marathon, Not a Sprint."

Ivan is known as the "Father of modern networking," and he's sharing techniques to help you connect with people in meaningful ways that won't leave you feeling icky.

Ivan says you need think about building relationships and not making a transaction.

"Most people, because they're not taught, they go in doing it as a transaction. And look, even a blind squirrel can find a nut," says Ivan.

Trust is earned. It's not instant. But it doesn't have to be elusive either. Aim for deep connection and not just shallow interactions.  

Ivan walks us through easy ways to put yourself out there and network from a giver's mindset.   

• Say this, not that. A meaningful question you can literally ask anyone to get them talking
• Why you should be interested, not interesting
• It's not them, it's you. A heads up for anyone who thinks someone else is boring
• And the magic that happens when you change your mindset from transactional to meaningful in your interactions with other people
