Connections is a State of Opportunity documentary about the power of networks.
The show looks at the importance of a strong network, and how those who start with sparse networks can start to build more connections.
The hour-long special tackles questions like:
• How do you create a network when you live in poverty?
• What networking advice would you give to a teenager from a low-income family?
• Why mentor someone you don't have a connection to?
• When you're locked up in prison, away from everyone and everything you know and love, how do you build a new life for yourself when you get out?
Listen to the whole show, or read the documentary in three parts on the State of Opportunity's website.
