Charismatic illuminators can create a network that enables tons of serendipity.

"Illuminators" here is David Brook's frame for people whose attention makes others feel known.

Within a few minutes 1:1, they can form a resonant connection between them and anyone who is even the slightest bit open.

Because it is enjoyable and meaningful, that connection, even though it's only a few minutes of wall-clock time, is something that matters.

That means that person is more likely to seek out the illuminator with an interesting opportunity.

For the relationship to be truly resonant, the illuminator also has to respond authentically when the person comes back looking for help or advice, too.

The quicker you can form a resonant connection 1:1, the higher your leverage that comes from increasing your network and farming for serendipity.
