Daniel went from steel and automotive to McKinsey. His path wasn't conventional – and neither was his networking strategy.

Instead of casting a wide net, he built 2 deep relationships at the firm – mentors who helped him at every stage.

This episode breaks down what worked – and what the standard MBA playbook gets wrong.

  • Why 2 deep relationships beat 30 surface connections in consulting recruiting
  • How to turn a "niche" background into a draw
  • The case prep habit that added depth without adding volume
