Imagine (or maybe you don’t have to because you’ve done this…) walking through a room moving from group to group, giving your “elevator pitch” and then exchanging business cards, before moving on to the next group. No real conversations, just pitching. I dreaded those events and thankfully haven’t been to one in over a decade.

Networking that way just feels bad. It feels fake and icky and impersonal. Today’s podcast is all about how to network in a way that feels good.
