There are three (3) legs of leverage: money, time, and expertise. Use any of these three to build meaningful connections.
Money: You can use your financial resources to support people’s needs or goals, such as donating, investing, or sponsoring.
Time: You can use your available time to assist people with their tasks or challenges, such as volunteering, mentoring, or coaching.
Expertise: You can use your knowledge or skills to provide value to people, such as teaching, consulting, or advising.
By using any of these three types of leverage, you display to people that you care about them and that you have something to offer them. This can help you build meaningful connections with them.

Making sure you are having a 2 way conversation!
In my view, the primary factor that enables lasting connections is a shared point of interest. When two individuals have a mutual passion or pursuit, it serves as both an avenue and rationale for ongoing communication. Frequently, people are linked by a single thread - often related to their hobbies or professions.
For example you could rethink and remember all those conversations that you had with someone, look closely, what were you generally talking about.
