Strengthen relationships by connecting two people with yourself as the third

Triadding is connecting two people together with yourself as the third person in the relationship. This creates much stronger, more stable relationships than two-person connections because the third person takes responsibility for maintaining the relationship and smoothing over conflicts. When you introduce two people who can help each other, you create a bond that's inherently more durable — instead of one connection that can break, you have three lines between three nodes. You also create enormous goodwill by being the person who gives value through introductions rather than only asking for things. Over time, a network built through triadding is one of the most powerful assets an entrepreneur can build. It compounds: each introduction creates new relationship lines, and being known as a connector is itself a form of authority and trust.
