In this episode of WIN: What’s Important Now, we explore the power of relationships as an investment with long-term dividends. Drawing from the work of Robert Putnam, we dive into the concept of social capital, the value that comes from our networks, and how investing in personal and professional relationships can lead to greater financial, career, and personal success. Just like financial capital, social capital grows over time, offering returns in the form of opportunities, trust, and collaboration. Whether through mentorship, networking, or simple reciprocity, the relationships we nurture today have the potential to transform our futures.
We’ll also take a look at the ways social capital influences financial outcomes, from expanding career opportunities to gaining access to valuable resources. In a world that’s increasingly digital, we examine how authentic connections can still thrive and deliver returns, both personally and professionally. Tune in to learn practical steps for building and leveraging social capital, and why these intangible investments may be among the most important you make for the future.
