What if I told you that you don’t need to be born into a Hollywood dynasty to create career-changing opportunities?
That’s exactly what I broke down in my latest Nepo Baby Support Group Session: how to leverage the power of relationships to open doors, just like the so-called “nepo babies” of the world. And here’s the thing: you are a nepo baby too. You just have to learn how to harness that energy. Check out the latest Nepo Baby Support Group session on Demand below.
Stop Waiting for Opportunities: The Nepo Baby Playbook
Most people hear the word “nepotism” and think of privilege, but at its core, nepotism is really about relationships. The opportunities you seek are already closer than you think. The question is: Are you recognizing and using them?
I’ve done it myself—leveraging family friends, former colleagues, and even casual acquaintances to land incredible experiences, from working in the entertainment industry to gaining hands-on experience in the legal world before I even graduated high school. And none of it was luck. It was about being intentional, making the right connections, and asking for what I needed.
If you feel stuck in your career or unsure about how to move forward, it’s time to start thinking and acting like an everyday nepo baby. Here’s how:
How to Tap Into Your Nepo Baby Energy
Here’s a quick example of me tapping into my Nepo Baby Energy (NBE). TL;DR I was a law assistant for 3 seasons. Read the full story here.
1. Nepotism = Relationships
Forget the negative connotations. Nepotism is just another word for relationship-building. Your network is full of people who can help you take the next step—if you’re willing to reach out.
2. Build Your Nepo Baby Orbit
Your success depends on the people you surround yourself with. Identify the key players in your network:
- Power Players – Close connections who already support you and can easily help you level up.
- Key Connectors – The bridge-builders who may not be direct mentors but can introduce you to the right people.
- Hidden Gems – The untapped connections you’ve met in passing but could become valuable with a little effort.
3. Ask Boldly & Take Action
Opportunities don’t just appear—you create them. That means stepping outside of your comfort zone, making introductions, asking for advice, and positioning yourself in rooms where the right conversations are happening.
4. Your Network Is Your Currency
The stronger your relationships, the more doors will open. The more you nurture your network, the more people will want to help you succeed.
