In this episode, I sit down with speaker and author Julie Brown to completely reframe what networking actually is and why most of us have been thinking about it all wrong.

Networking isn’t about selling yourself. It’s about building authentic, long-term relationships rooted in trust. Julie Brown challenges the transactional mindset so many professionals carry and replaces it with something far more powerful-relational connection.

We cover:
-Why networking has gotten a bad reputation (and how to fix it)
-How to shift from “What can I get?” to “What can I give?”
-Why almost everyone feels anxious at networking events
-The surprising advantage introverts have in networking
-Simple, tactical ways to approach conversations without pressure
-Why listening may be your greatest networking asset
-How your network often sees your potential before you do


At its core, networking isn’t about working the room.  It’s about building a community.
