Episode 109: Joe Mindak of Nolodex and author of "Connectors Get Paid"

In this episode of the Hustling Sideways Podcast, we welcome Joe Mindak, co-founder of Nolodex and author of "Connectors Get Paid," to discuss his entrepreneurial journey from running a printing business with his father to building a revolutionary networking platform.

Joe shares how he accidentally discovered a lucrative side hustle by earning commissions, simply from connecting people in his network, which led him to create Nolodex—a software platform that enables 550+ B2B companies to monetize their professional networks through structured referral fees. He explains the philosophy behind "Connectors Get Paid," emphasizing that people who make valuable business introductions should be compensated for their efforts, and discusses how Nolodex is disrupting traditional networking by creating incentivized referral communities where members earn commissions for successful connections.

Joe also offers practical advice for those intimidated by networking, reminding listeners that introductions aren't sales pitches—they're simply connecting people who can help each other, making it easier for anyone to leverage their relationships into meaningful business opportunities.
