Introductions carry more weight than we often realize. In this episode, Jason shares a moment when a well-intentioned introduction went slightly sideways—and the lesson it reinforced about relational equity. He reflects on how rushing past reconnection can create awkwardness, why presence matters more than efficiency, and how even a quick check-in can change the outcome of a meeting. This conversation is a reminder that relationships don’t run on autopilot. Before attaching your name to an introduction or recommendation, slow down, listen well, and make sure you understand where people actually are—not where they used to be.
