Build Your Relationship Capital
PowerSkills is the methodology that helps you build it. As AI commoditizes technical skill, your relationships become the asset that sets you apart. The trust you build, the value you give, and the people who want you in the room.
Join the Founding CohortTechnical skill is becoming a commodity.
Relationship capital is not.
AI can write the code, draft the deck, and run the analysis. What it cannot do is earn trust, read a room, or turn a contact into a champion.
Relationship capital is the value you hold in your network. It is the one professional asset that compounds, travels with you, and cannot be automated away. Most people leave it to chance. You don't have to.
I built my career on this. Now I'm building the system for it.
I'm Jason Masciarelli. I co-founded one of the first global SaaS CRM consulting firms, raised capital from Salesforce Ventures, and spent nearly a decade at Pegasystems leading go-to-market and ventures. Every meaningful step traced back to relationship capital I had built before I needed it.
The methodology comes from my father, Jim Masciarelli, refined across more than 10,000 executive interviews and a lineage of human-connection research that predates today's networking books. I worked alongside him delivering it to enterprise teams in the 1990s. PowerSkills is that body of work, modernized for how professionals build trust now.
This is for people who want to become superconnectors.

- Leading: Move people toward a shared outcome and become the person they want in the room.
- Farming: Invest in relationships over time so trust deepens and access compounds.
Relationships are built on trust, the value you bring, and the quality of the conversation. Those are learnable.
Why I went all in
I left an enviable executive role to build this full time, with my inner circle rooting for meĀ before there was a company to point to. The reason is simple. As AI raises the bar on what machines can do, the people who thrive will be the ones others trust, value, and seek out.
I want to put the methodology my father proved, and I lived, into the hands of professionals who want careers and relationships that thrive. That is the whole goal. Help others do the most good, and the rest follows.
The best time to build your relationship capital was years ago.
The second best time is now.
