>> What you need to do is you need to make a list of the people
that you've encountered to that point.
Maybe you met someone at a wedding, maybe it's someone you encountered at an internship,
maybe it's a Temple professor -- all of whom are very well connected and many
of whom have past experience in the field.
And you start to network, you start to make friends, you email,
you phone call, you send your demo out.
You do whatever is necessary to begin to engender a relationship with people.
And then the hope is that as you go back and forth in this give and take
for hopefully not long but it could be weeks or months or even years, organically you begin
to hear about opportunities because you've now made friends with people inside the walls
of these places where you want to go.
And the hope is that it gives you a leg up on the competition, which is very fierce.
