I used to think networking was just handing out business cards at events

I went to a tech meetup in Austin last Tuesday and watched a guy just listen to people for an hour. He asked real questions about their projects and didn't even mention his own job until someone asked. He got three solid leads without handing out a single card. I realized I've been doing it wrong by just talking at people. Now I'm trying to listen more and connect over actual work. Has anyone else made a switch like this and seen better results?

Wait he didn't even bring business cards? That's wild. I always panic if I forget mine.
