In this powerful wrap-up episode, Eric Coffie holds nothing back. He reminds listeners that opportunity doesn't just knock—it shows up at your event and waits for you to walk through the door. From the Department of Defense's Acting Deputy Chief Digital AI Officer to Central Command and the National Science Foundation's Cyber Infrastructure Director, Eric reveals how he brought top-tier federal decision-makers directly to his community—and most people still didn't show up. He shares a transparent look into his own network-building approach, proving that access, generosity, and opportunity are everywhere for those willing to participate.
Key Takeaways:
-
Access is earned by showing up: The DoD AI Chief, Central Command, and NSF all attended Eric's event—and only a handful of people seized the chance.
-
Generosity builds trust: The same partners who spoke at his event sponsored the bar tab—proof that strong relationships lead to goodwill and access.
-
Visibility beats anonymity: If you're hiding behind "LinkedIn User," no one can find or help you—visibility builds credibility.
