How do you get there? Well, there’s country clubs, having your kids at the same expensive riding club, being a board member for the same orgs as them… but those are all expensive.
Cheaper ways? Faith based groups, dog walking and… attending conferences.
All of them require you to reach out to them as people, ask about their lives, and actively listen to their responses. People generally don’t want to hear anything about you, so you don’t have to be that open.

Powerful people tend to have few people in their lives who are interested in them instead of their power.
