Is Your Private School ‘Network’ Really Worth $500,000 over 12 Years?

Is the network that private school offers worth the tuition fees?

I hear this argument all the time from advocates of private school, however as a product of the public school system, I don’t know how true it is.

What I do know is that in 2024, in a world where we are all connected online, it has never been easier to build relationships with almost anybody you want.

I didn’t go to private school, but I did record 433 episodes of my podcast which connected me with top tier entrepreneurs, authors, investors, media personalities, and entertainers.

I didn’t go to private school but I sent thousands of messages to people that I wanted to connect with on LinkedIn and other social media platforms, and had Zoom calls and coffees with hundreds of them.

I didn’t go to private school but I did attend lots of events and conferences where I got to rub shoulders with high profile folks.

I didn’t go to private school, but I did write hundreds of articles that generated millions of views over the years.

I didn’t need permission to do these things.
There was no velvet rope, nor gatekeeper.
There were no exorbitant fees.
I just decided to do them and followed through.
