Episode 62: Networking is NOT a Four-Letter Word

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last week I had the pleasure of attending my first Podcasting Conference - Podcast Movement Evolutions, right here in Los Angeles!  It was quite the eye-opening experience and I certainly did learn a great deal!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have been pooh-poohing the idea of Networking for a long time - even wrote a blog post about it...but after this conference, I have changed my mind for realz.  I learned there’s a much safer way of looking at networking, and I do my very best to explain my thought process though this podcast recording in my car - completely unscripted, free flowing, and somewhat out of control.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, there’s some knowledge here!  In this episode:</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> I share what my buddy Peggy Kelley taught me about Opening Lines</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Learning how REAL opportunities to be an influencer are revealed</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I surrender to the fact that Networking is NOT a four-letter word!</span></li> </ol> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile - the Sarah Knight “F*ck No!” book giveaway is still open!  Just visit</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.krismcpeak.com/sarah">https://www.krismcpeak.com/sarah</a></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"> and and enter the giveaway before March 1st.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are you subscribed to my podcast?
